Doing the color flats is my least favorite part of the creative process and yes, I have been putting it off but my next book is coming along nicely!
I'm also finally going to color the back tattoo and finish updating that piece!

Today's vlog is special because the trailer for a movie I did some artwork for is out!
And some of the artwork I drew is visible in said trailer!!! And if you look suuuuuuper close, you just might see a cameo of my comic series Shinju in there.

So hello out there! My name is Travis and I've been a comic book artist off and on for 30 years. In 2019 I got tired of spending years working on projects that cancelled before being published and started my own series, Shinju and doing more illustration work.
