The Iron Giant small color sketch, ink and watercolor. This one did not photograph well on my scanner. That red sky does not exist on the original art. It's actually orange! The original will be for sale in my store.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Sagittarius takes aim. Art: me.
I’m thinking of running another Horrorscope short story on the patreon since Funrama issue 10 is going to be such a laborious undertaking.

2003 was not fun. War was cool and awesome and you were called a communist traitor if you were against it. It was a daily “we have to do what the president says because he’s in charge”. It was aggressively stupid. But here we are again, still.

A quick Max Roach sketch I did today as part of my Countdown to Age 50 series on my patreon. There I talk about how drumming is like drawing. Ancient and necessary to life. Also I put this original in my online shop.

My first sketch of 2026 is this Timothy Hunter from Books Of Magic, a nod to the first professional comic I worked on. On my patreon, i’m posting art and discussing my career as I march towards 50. This piece is also in my Storenvy Shop. Thanks.

My wish for 2026 is that we all start to have honest discussions about the comic book industry

Next month I turn 50 and i’m not ashamed to say it. Also, I enter my 28th year as a full-time member of the American comic book industry, which I am slightly ashamed of. Not sure how much longer i’m allowed to stay, so if you need an artist in 2026 go ahead and let me know please thanks.

There are a lot more of us families with trans kids than you think. We live in Minnesota, and yeah it’s great, but it doesn’t mean you get to be just a teensy bit transphobic. If you make our lives harder, brick by brick, We don’t forget.
Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.

I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.
We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
