TCAF PART 2
The TCAF haul!!!! I was not prepared for the level of quality across the whole show to be so high. Damn near every single person in that place was incredible! It was so great meeting and chatting with everyone and trading books! Is this what community feels like?

TCAF PT 1
Holy Moly Hotdog! What an amazing weekend of incredible art and meeting so many cool people! I’m always so terrible remembering to take photos at shows but luckily my wonderful fiancé Kendyl was on the job. As you can see she truly captured the majesty of Toronto. 😬 Next, the haul…

I’ve been threatening to make a Freakazoid piece for years. One day I’ll make a legit one… For now here’s a sketchbook page of an idea I had.

I never properly photographed this piece because to my amazement someone purchased it. Lucky man! It was made for the “Forbidden Fruit” group show at Magnetic Tattoo.

A Little Too Inquisitive

Mixed media on board

Can you tell I also like Moebius?😬 I mean who doesn’t love him!?

Ink wash and Acrylic

Since I’m taking about inspirations…I’ve always loved the DIY aesthetic of superhero costumes and the two that probably influence me the most in this were Paul Pope and Rafael Grampa. Love me some tall lace boots!!!

Spider-man commission. Ink wash

Speaking of my favorite painters…

Can you see how much I steal from Eyvind Earl? I even painted this in casein because I needed to be like him! Alas I am still Conner unfortunately. If you don’t know who he is do yourself a favor and do some research. 😬

This guy, am I right!? Hellboy really is the thing that made me want to pursue making comic books. I didn’t have much access to them as a kid but loved cartoons and video games. I didn’t really READ comics until college where I fell in love with the art form and world building.

Ink wash, Digital

If you make the questionable decision to keep following me you will inevitably see that I’m slightly obsessed with Valkyries and badass mythic women. I’m also realizing I just love psychopomps and Valkyries might be the coolest ones…?

Acryla Gouache

Did you guys know I had art in Black Hammer? I was lucky enough to meet St. Jeff Lemire at a show in Denver years ago. He bought one of my pages and gave me the shot to have a pinup in an issue! 🤯

I wanted to homage one of my favorite painters ever, the great Robert McGinnis.🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Since I posted a scratchboard why not another one? This one was 18x24 inches and I can confidently say I will never do one that big again. 🫠

Garsh it’s tricky managing all these social medias! Guess I’ll start with a photo dump to fill up this here page. Please enjoy some old and new work. 🤘🏼

Scratchboard and acrylic.

Here we go again! Again! My name is Conner Herbison. I draw and paint stuff like this. I was a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design back in 2014 and have been trying to figure this nonsense out ever since. Welcome to my feed, I’ll try my best to actually regularly post things.🤘🏼
