Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Go watch the new Muppet Show special! I want a series!
jeffpennington.art Jeff Pennington @jeffpennington.art · 6d
We just watched The Muppet Show revival’s first episode and honestly? I really loved it. It was shaky for the first lil bit but REALLY won me over by the halfway point

Seth Rogen really is just spearheading beautiful revivals of whatever he loves and it rules so hard, big ups to him
The preview image for The Muppet Show 2026 revival with celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter, Seth Rogen, Maya Rudolph, and Kermit the Frog seated in a theater amongst a cavalcade of felt weirdos.

I got to paint three different versions of this thumbnail for Re:Direct with an adorable lil’ Pikachu dreading its future (relatable). This is my fave version!

Y’know what here’s some of my comic covers too, why not?
Cover to my entry to a comics anthology that has not come out yet, a modern retelling of the origin of the golden age superhero “The Sword” with my own urban fantasy spin on it. I also created this logo. A mock cover to a Fantastic Four comic book featuring the team being pulled into a red vortex that leads into the waiting maw of Annihilus! Cover mock-up for a Spider-Man Unlimited comic based on the TV series that may or may not have actually been pretty bad. Cover for a joke mash-up between the manga series Berserk by Kentaro Miura and Nickelodeon’s Doug with the characters all being funny mashups.

Here’s some of my comics pages (that I can share right now) too!
A sample page of a Space Ghost: Coast to Coast comic book I created for fun just to show I could recreate a reasonable facsimile of the Alex Toth/ C. Martin Croker Space Ghost style. Featuring Brak! Page 1 of a comic I completed for an anthology that hasn’t come out yet over a year ago. It’s a modern retelling of the golden age comic book superhero “The Sword” with a modern urban fantasy twist. Page 1 of the second issue (as yet not completed) of my old webcomic “Inksburg”, which was a noir parody comic that blended Looney Tunes with hardboiled detective fiction. This particular story is called “Debt Collectors.” Page 3 of the second issue (as yet not completed) of my old webcomic “Inksburg”, which was a noir parody comic that blended Looney Tunes with hardboiled detective fiction. This particular story is called “Debt Collectors.”

Digital illustration homaging both the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “Little Green Men” and 1950’s space invasion movies in a theatre advertising card style. Quark, an alien, holds a female army MP hostage with his finger. Title and credits appear superimposed over the image.

Digital painting recreating the Edward Hopper masterpiece “Nighthawks” in a completely reimagined science fiction setting as a space station floating above a glowing blue planet in outer space filled with spacemen, aliens, and robots, all retrofuturistic in nature. Digital painting of a scene from The Muppets Tonight television series which depicts Kermit the Frog wearing David Byre’s oversized white suit at three distances from the viewer while singing “Once in a Lifetime” by the Talking Heads. “Same as it ever was” appears as a closed caption subtitle at the bottom of the screen.

Just a lil Toejam and Earl funk for funsies
Digital drawing of Sega Genesis video game all-star characters Toejam and Earl, aliens from the planet Funkotron, standing side by side with their arms cross and sassy espressions (as much as their designs allow) on their faces. They’re wearing matching black Chuck Taylor’s which may or may not be anachronistic to their classic designs? I’ve drawn em that way since I was a kid though Art by me Fun fact: They were the inspiration for me buying my first pair of Chucks as a kid and after years of other shoes since I still wear almost nothing else

{ Let’s Go!! RIDER KICK! }

Hongo Takeshi/ Kamen Rider faces off against a shadowy inhuman in the moody blue darkness of an abandoned church!

Just a proof of concept for fun
Digital illustration/ fanart of the original 1971 Kamen Rider series. Hongo Takeshi poses dynamically, ready for battle, in the foreground while his other form, Kamen Rider, mimics the same pose over his shoulder, the symbol of Kamen Eider over -his- shoulder. Behind them a silhouette of Hongo, casting a long shadow, steps in from the bright daylight into an old dilapidated church with high tattered banners. A burning red light at the bottom of view casts a demonic, inhuman shadow across the floor back towards our hero. Art by me!

Hey @idwpublishing.com ! Do you need a cover artist for your rad new Rocketeer comic by any chance? I’m very VERY available!
Digital illustration of pulp comic book and film character The Rocketeer blasting through stormy clouds with his famous jetpack. He is an adult male wearing a gold toned metal helmet with dark lenses and a grated mouth piece, a reddish brown leather jacket with a gold-over chest flap and gold buttons, tan jhodpurs, and black leather gloves and high boots. He is saluting the viewer with one hand and controlling the thrust of the jetpack on his back with the other which is spouting yellow and red flames that turn into a spiraling trail of gray smoke. Art by me, Jeff Pennington!

Hey folks, I’m open for work and commissions! I’ve got bills and rent to pay and Patreon has decided to withhold a huge chunk of my Storylords income so it’s the perfect time to get some art made!

The three categories are Sketch (represented by a very hard boiled Jar Jar Binks 1940’s noir detective), Line Art (represented by a recreation of a chapter illustration from Dragon Ball Z starring Giga Cat Mario as SSj Goku and an astonished Bowser as Frieza), and Full Color (represented by a digits painting of Malenia, Blade of Miquella, from Elden Ring.)

Today was my wife Krystal and my 10th wedding anniversary! We have more planned for when we can take time off but for today we learned how to blacksmith and made metal chopsticks together and then ate UNBELIEVABLY delicious Korean BBQ. Such a great day with my favorite person on Earth
Photograph of me and my wife Krystal standing in the forge together wearing heavy aprons. I’m the big bald one. The anvil I used in the blacksmithing class with my hammer, forge gloves, and the chopsticks I made sitting on top of it. You can peep the tip of my Chuck Taylor in the bottom middle too. My hand (top) and Krystal’s hand (bottom) holding the two sets of metal chopsticks we made during our blacksmithing class. They ain’t ugly, they’re our utensils! You can see various forge related things in the bg including the action forge itself spitting out hot ass flames.
