My agent Spencer Beck sent me this amazing photo of me and Todd McFarlane taken about 2018, I think.

Another one of my favorite projects, this beautiful little story written by Derek McCulloch for TORI AMOS:LITTLE EARTHQUAKES graphic novel. Pen and ink with digital color.

Astonished to see this rare collaboration with Stan Lee and Jimmy Palmiotti, pencils by me, up for auction at Heritage Galleries. I'm not the seller. comics.ha.com/itm/or...

Another page from THE BOOK OF LOST SOULS by J Michael Straczynski, art by me. Was so in love with this book, I think it's some of Joe's best writing. I have copies at my bookstore. adistantsoil.com/boo... #jmichaelstraczynski #straczynski #penandink #bookoflostsouls

From THE BOOK OF LOST SOULS by J Michael Straczynski, art by me, one of my all-time favorite projects. I always thought this series was one of his best concepts, and would be great on television, but you never know. #straczynski #jmichaelstraczynski #bookoflostsouls #penandink

Ancient history! I drew this pic of DAZZLER and The Enchantress in battle back when I was in high school. Pencil. My pre-pro work was a lot better than my early pro work for the obvious reason I could pick at a page for days if I wanted! No deadlines!

This page is for promotional purposes only. I'm posting here from an app. Don't mean to ignore anyone, but stress, work, stress, work, more stress, more work. Here, have some Wonder Woman art. See you later.

I was a huge fan of the MARVEL AGENTS OF SHIELD series back in the day, so I was thrilled to get to do this cover. My digital skills were shaky back then, but I think the design is nice! The original was in pencil, but all colors were digital. #agentsofshield #marvelcomics

If you wonder why I keep doing the free monthly comics feedback thing at Books with Pictures, the answer is 1: I think that good teaching can make a big difference, & 2: I hate to think of broke students going thru what @colleendoran.bsky.social describes: colleendoran.substack.com/p/the-cost-o...

lol, literally 500 people make a living off webtoons

First the Jim Lee commission price discourse and now this...everyone jack up their commission prices by at least 1k now. All old work you did where you undercharged, send that person a bill for this new price. I'm starting a mob to enforce this. I need our most ruthless goons now!
