Another piece I put together in early December. Sold before the MICExpo, so this the first time I've shared the work. I'm pretty happy with those pigeons. Ink, marker, and gouache on toned tan paper. 5.5" x 8.5"

Here's some close-up shots of this new piece. I'm calling it "Dog Walker". 5.5" x 8.5" ink, marker, and gouache on toned tan paper.

Thank you so much to all the hard work put in for @massmice.bsky.social . It was such an amazing weekend. I had so much fun, met so many wonderful people and was reminded once again what an amazing comics community we have here in Boston! I feel lucky to be a part of it!!!

I had a great experience printing this book with Print Ninja. If you'd like a copy you can get it on my website or Etsy. Also... I'll be wt Non Fictin Comics Fest in Burlington Vt. This weekend. AND MICE. In Boston Dec. 6 and 7!
We printed Jerel Dye's The Cycle with an uncoated, stucco-textured cover paper, to introduce readers to the kinetic experience of an accordion comic. Check out more of Jerel Dye's work on bsky or on tumblr @drawjereldraw. Got a crazy idea you want to make reality? Check us out!

While we’re at it: from my 2018 comics essay “About Face,” laying out the normalization of fascist presence via pop culture & consumer goods. It’s also the central chapter of SAVE IT FOR LATER. popula.com/2019/02/24/a...

One of the great joys I had working on this book was the chance to really tap into my cartoony side. All the goofy, silly, ridiculous stuff was there in the script and Perry and Penelope really let me go wild! Aside from just teaching, I think this book is really funny!
Computers is out TOMORROW!!!

Hey, I finished this mural! I actually finished it about 2 weeks ago, but I've been so busy I hadn't had the time to post about it. It's going to be installed sometime later this year at Level99 in Natick, MA.

Another round of marker tests. I got kinda garish with the colors, but I like 'em anyway!

I recently had the pleasure of digging back into marker drawing. I've got to get my chops back up for a project (can't talk about it yet!). Here are the first three practice drawings I did. #marker #drawing #penandink #scifi #copic #spaceship #doodle #artpractice
