We see so many birds in our backyard this spring. In addition to sparrows, chickadees, blue jays and finches, we get a northern flicker now and then. He loves to peck at the vents on the roofs, which sounds like a machine gun inside!

I love this interview with Boots Riley, especially at 10 min when he talks about being an artist for a reason other than just making the art. Also “nobody knows what the fuck they’re doing”. I can’t wait to see I Love Boosters.

Central to the story of THE DISSIDENTS is an incredible magazine from the early 20th century, The Masses. It was so provocative it was shut down by the US Government and its staff was put on trial for sedition. Let’s check out a copy. THE DISSIDENTS will be out Sept. 15.

I love Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) & John Martin's The Great Day of His Wrath (1851–1853) & John Martin's Manfred and the Alpine Witch (1837)

Just went to a late night screening of Deep Water, a plane crash shark attack movie directed by Renny Harlan, and it fucking ruled. Goddamn, Renny Harlan.

Nate’s been doing intergalactic cartwheels on these recent commissions. Look at this piece.

It's May 13th. I've been paralyzed for 31 years today. Customary self-portrait.

Been catching myself clenching my jaw recently, which is new. Guess I've reached a new level of stress at 47.

The early 20th century was a period of class war unlike any in US history. Labor uprisings and bloody reprisals by oligarchs and their private armies resulted in national chaos. The cartoonists of The Masses were there to document it all. This is their story. THE DISSIDENTS, coming in Sept.

Jody, fall 1977 in Tulsa, pre-timejump. Sometimes you gotta draw characters to check in with them. 🖤

On this night. May 1, 1970. Kent, Ohio. From KENT STATE.

Cleveland! I'm doing a Character Design Workshop on Saturday for FCBD at Superscript in Lakewood! Come draw with us!

Cleveland! I’ll be drawing from 6:30 - 7:30 tonight at Spaces Gallery’s Monster Drawing Rally with dozens of rad artists. This event always gets chaotic and fun as hell.

Digging through some old files and thought I'd share some old Melt posters I feel have different comic book cover qualities. The Firecracker Chicken was always superhero parody/homage. We never used the Smokey Russian poster because Russia invaded Ukraine so we switched it to "Turkey Reuben".

It’s nice out so my neighbor will blast the worst maga rap so I counter it with Sepultura’s Chaos A.D.

ROBOT TOD part 2 front and back cover. The printed version of this fully watercolored comic is available from FLOATING WORLD COMICS. series is being serialized on Patreon.com/faredal i’m currently working on part 5. PDFS of ALL my books for paid subscribers.

A new patch from @toosphexy.bsky.social with this popular design! justseeds.org/product/divi...

I give, I love Superman too. Not at all sure when I drew this but I’m sure it was for some Cleveland thing.

This new comic from @schweizercomics.bsky.social is phenomenal. I read it on his patreon and was so stoked I upgraded from a free to a paid subscriber.

My cat Chalita passed a week ago. Just put up a public post of bunch of a drawings I did of her over the years at www.patreon.com/posts/chalit...

Work in progress: musician commission number six. I’ll let you guess.

This rules.

Stop scrolling & post two characters who bring you happiness.

I made this comic for Signal Cleveland about how to plant a tree. Cleveland is trying to boost the tree canopy and the Western Reserve Land Conservancy will hook you up with a tree but it turns out there's proper ways to plant them if you want them to survive. signalcleveland.org/how-to-plant...

George Bellows: Painting The Rough Energy of New York City’s Skyscraper Age

Planting a tree this spring? Cleveland needs every branch and leaf it can get. The city’s tree canopy — the percentage of land covered by trees when viewed from above — is less than half the size it was in the mid-20th century and still shrinking.  signalcleveland.org/how-to-plant...

Pages drawn at @natepowell.bsky.social's Artist in the Atrium event at the Cleveland Museum of Art on Saturday. He had these sheets with panels ready to go. Drawing Spider-Man is a blast! But I think I'm maybe more suited to this other kind of comic that potentially makes no sense.

Woman at the Tub from the Portfolio Elles (Femme au Tub )

Holy smokes, look at these @benjamindewey.bsky.social drawings!

Here she is! The PW announcement is live so I’m happy to share my sophomore graphic novel! I love this story so much and I can’t wait to share it. It’s about my love of polar travel but I’m also exploring superstition, work culture, truth and memory. #comics #graphicnovels

Knight of The Seven Kingdoms rules, it’s reps favorite kind of combo of dogs when I see ‘em on a walk: Big Guy Little Guy.

Inprnt is doing free shipping for all orders above 30USD this weekend, feel free to splurge all over mah stuff. www.inprnt.com/gallery/qsy/

In my head they’re dancing to T-Pain.

Stoked for @davidfwalker.bsky.social’s new book, The Monster of Blackenstyne! The more Frankenstein culture the better, as far as I’m concerned.

Minneapolis cartoonist Steve Sack has been on a roll lately. He's been on the front lines of the ICE invasion and his cartoons are boiling with rage at ICE and Mad Emperor Piggy. Well worth checking out his Substack.

Inks for the preview pages of DESTINATION KILL ✏️ These pages are from back in 2023, which feels like a long time ago now! Issue 1 is available for preorder now- on sale May 13th!

Threw this old one pager in with the newer work I'm reading for this presentation I'm doing tonight at the Willoughby Public Library.

One of my grandfathers worked on building the St. Lawrence Seaway but I knew him and my grandmother as traveling competitive square dancers. My other grandfather was an MP in the Pacific and worked in factories until he was disabled in an industrial accident. I knew him as a lonely alcoholic.

Just a reminder this is tomorrow!

If I offered 13 spots drawing your favorite musicians for 100 bucks a piece would any of you be interested? The original you'd get would be 4.25 X 5 and black and white. Willing to draw whole bands too for 250 (8.5 X 11)

I made a b/w version (for cheaper printing) of this flier for this Artist Talk I’m doing at the Willoughby Public Library on Thursday. No clue what I’m going to talk about other than reading my new comic, Memento Mori. I do love public speaking though, hand me a mic and I’ll start talking.

First time I saw Alex she was dancing in a musical at The Near West Theater and I was blown away. She’s a treasure of this city and Ohio!

Been thinking about this post from Nate yesterday.

NEXT WEEK, I'll be doing an Artist Talk at Willoughby Public Library in Willoughby, Ohio. It's FREE but ya gotta register at bit.ly/jg-talk!

This Sienkiewicz double page spread from New Mutants 18 is why I never draw spokes on wheelchair wheels.

Everything is on fire all around us but sometimes ya just gotta draw Spicy Frankenstein/Werewolf shit and write a post it on patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/new-sp...
