Of all the drawing I've done today, this one is my favorite. Drawing comics on my day off...my favorite way to spend my days off of storyboarding. #comicsky

Indeed, I do! Here is my Dusk Tribute that I did a few years ago.

Post you from a different era.
c.1992 just a few months before I got paid to draw for a living.

If there was ever a painter that represents my childhood, no one comes closer than George Wilson. His body of work could have filled 3 books, but this one will do and it is amazing. Many shot from the original art! Highly recommend, esp if you were a fan of Gold Key comics in the 60s/70s #comicsky

Agreed. And as far as the comic pages go...I'm with ya. There is nothing like the feeling of the ink on the brush against the bristol. But I wanted a painted book...but I needed it to be fast because I take waaaay too long to do the pages. So this was the compromise. I do love having the originals

Is that panel from this comic, by chance?

Drome by @jesselonergan.bsky.social is a masterpiece of nearly wordless visual storytelling with some serious outside the box page and panel design that pushes the form, like nothing you've seen before. I can't recommend enough. #comicsky

This is currently on the drawing table: a couple of panels from the comic I'm currently drawing. Doing a TV show and comics at the same time is not something I have mastered, so it really slows my progress on the comic. #comicsky #comics #makingcomics

This is my dog Mr. Kent. He likes to rest on the carpet in this pose all the time...so I could not resist making this comp. That's his real super cape, though. #superdog

Some recent drawing prelims from the sketchbook, all for various panels of the comic book I'm working on. #comics #comicsky #pencils #traditionalart

A color plate from my book Technopolis from the 5 page pitch. Colors by Andrew Pratt using the old school method: off-set blu line printing that you paint on overlay with ink lines printed on acetate. I made a print of this later on and added some digital tweaks in the fog and light glow. #comicsky

I recently sold the art to my comic Technopolis. I had the work photographed at hi res to archive due to the heavy use of zippatone (not scanner friendly). This is the opening double page spread. I was 25 when I did this...and proudly wearing my Al Williamson influence on my sleeves. #comicsky

It's very rare that I 100% like anything that I draw. I always feel like I'm letting stuff go, that I could have done it better. THIS one tho...it felt like my inks were on fire...I corrected nothing. My fave work from this book I'm doing. So far. #comicsky

Last night @wendydphoto.bsky.social was in my studio to photograph the original art for my Russ Manning nominated comic Technopolis (1997). All the zippatone in the book prevents scanning (Moiré patterns result when scanned). I recently sold the entire book to a collector. #comicsky

This is a vintage electric eraser from the 50s. If you make comics on paper, I cannot recommend these beasts enough. Those erasers are almost as old the machine. It works best with the old pink eraser n will easily remove ink from bristol without damaging it. Nothin on the market today comes close.

This is truly a wonderful read...all for the love of comics, the love of making comics...and the reason we do it. Amazing stuff!

1949 by @dustinweaver.bsky.social was fantastic! It's one of those smart sci-fi neo-noir pulp pastiche comics that I'm a sucker for, and one that had me going back in to re-read parts immediately to catch the blink and you'll miss it details. Gorgeous art! #comicsky

A director I was working with asked if I could draw him a Hulk image that reflected the work I did on the film. I didn't have any time for that, so I printed off a page of boards on arches water color paper and put a quick grey wash over it to make it a little more 'one-of-a-kind'. #incrediblehulk
