I came across the nicest gentlemen on my walk home the other night and I asked politely if I could draw them. Fortunately for me they said yes then proceeded to sit very still. They were soooooo kind and patient. I think I nailed their likenesses.

Since I quit Instagram a while ago I got really into collecting action figures… like way too enthusiastically… to ward off the guilt I started using them for head studies. Weird nerd guilt aside, those Mcfarlane DC figures are fucking dope.

Hey! 2 nerds based in Castle Rock, CO called Impossible Dice Club. We’re making zines/stickers that are gritty/glittery. If we can’t make the world a better place, at least make it miserable for fascists/bigots/gen assholes who want to take away human rights. #dontbeadick

I couldn’t sleep at all the other night, so I drew Batman doing that thing where he stands on a rooftop and puffs his chest out while staring into a void that happens to be the viewer. There is something super comforting about drawing Batman when everything feels terrible. I highly recommend it.

BTW, I’m Michael. Long time lurker/reluctant poster. Trying to be a little more present online since it’s the end of free speech and all that. Just wanna feel those last gasps, you know? About me:
Into skulls, against fascism, and fucking love #theClaremontrun, #SwampThing, and The Cure 😀👋🌊

Drew Morph’s head with pen/ink for a zine against fascism. Pretty happy with it, but my 8 year old is demanding I draw Morph with the white head/no hair version. And if I do that, where’s it gonna end? How many X-Men heads will be enough?!?

I have this giant dry erase board in my office and I stick up drawings with magnets usually while they’re in progress. Here’s a bunch of stuff that’s either just finished or close to complete. The Wolverine drawing, sentinel head, & bear family are from some new zines

Working on a bare bones little zine about bears. It’s educational.

I’m taking a bunch of drawings and making zines out of them. This is something people do. I don’t know if I’m including these X-Men doodles of Morph and/Mojo anywhere…. But I like the juxtaposition of their characters hanging on my wall while I figure out what to do with them.

Here are three doodles out of context to give absolutely no idea what we’re up to. We’ll be at the Pikes Peak Zine Fest in Colorado Springs next weekend.

Started working on a Mojo head. I like to think the character is named after a popular garlic and oil sauce used in Latin cuisine….

Robin was, like, 8 years old when he started doing unspeakable vigilante decoy stuff for a billionaire in bondage gear. It feels super relatable and also not. I think about that A LOT.

I drew a bunch of X-Men heads for hypothetical corner boxes a bit over a year ago. I keep drawing X heads & reflecting on their sociopolitical relevance. It pains me that Disney is legally responsible for the things Claremont and co were doing with these characters in the 70/80/90s.

#batmanday pitch- a noir sitcom featuring Batman & The Joker as reluctant roommates in the suburbs. Like Everybody Loves Raymond meets Itchy & Scratchy. Call it Everybody Loves Batman. Their unifying values are free speech & a hatred for fascism (even if Batman’s is the self loathing kind.)

Siren lights always cheered up Darryl. The way they bounced off the surrounding buildings and trees and sidewalks and grass blades in the night was mesmerizing. He never took to making false 911 calls just for the free light show, but….the thought was never far away.

“Here’s a song about a superhero named Tony, it’s called Tony’s Theme.”
Anyways, yeah, I kinda fell in love with that OG Iron Man suit and wanted to draw it after reading the Demon in a Bottle story arch. Messing around with pictures and words with ink in a big Moleskine.
