Hey gang, BIG news! I’m drawing issues 9-10 of #StarTrek #LowerDecks for @idwpublishing.bsky.social ! Here’s the cover for #9 ❤️Story by @timsheridan.bsky.social Edits by @heatherantos.bsky.social & @sercas.bsky.social Colors by @charliekirchoff.com I can’t express how insanely happy I am about this!
Oh yeah this was done a couple of months ago, comic book work has to be done well in advance to account for distributor solicits, printing and shipping. Plus to give the Colorist and Letterer time to work their magic

Thanks a bunch, that means a lot to me! I don’t normally do commissions at a con due to time and comfort but if you’re ever looking for a commission feel free to message me. Most of my cons are local-ish (New Orleans area) if you’re nearby.

I feel the same way. But much like the movie upon which this is based, sad that it was the last TOS movie but man what a way to go! I’m so glad you like it and so grateful for all of your cheerleading for this book

It used to be one of my least favorite classes but after drawing it for this book I’ve really come to love it! Refit Constitution is still my all-time favorite but Ambassador class is so super cool. I even bought an Eaglemoss of it so I can play with and display it, haha!

(2/4)This is the final part of a 6-issue story arc that has an amazing balance of Lower Decks funny and Star Trek action. If you haven’t read it, go pick up Issue 13 where the story starts (Issue 15 just came out last week).

Been wanting to share this cover for quite some time ❤️ I really love it & am proud of it & absolutely LOVE the way @charliekirchoff.com brought it to life! Though this is my final issue on this run, I’m so happy with how this issue looks (and @timsheridan.bsky.social ‘s story kicks ass!)

It does feel weird celebrating this with all the craziness and terror that have also been going on, just trying to see the good in all the shit, y’know?
