A piece i recently ran across that was done for an unreleased anthology during the covid lockdown. Beautifully conceived by Bryan Edward Hill, one of my favorite writers.

Jim Silke was an extraordinarily accomplished man, having accomplished a great many things before taking up comics in his 60s, for kicks… and redefined what it meant to be a pinup/comic book artist.
Most importantly he was incredibly kind and amazingly talented.
Rest in peace, Jim, and thanks.

Hey all! Gonna join the Clever Kaiju team tonight live on YouTube at 6pm PT as a bunch of rad artists (and oddly enough, me) are going to be ‘Concepting Evil’ where we work out concept art for evil characters and discuss the process and critique each others work!
Look up ‘Clever Kaiju’ on YouTube!

Dude. RIP to my favorite Iron Maiden singer, the inimitable Paul Di’anno - they really broke the mold with that guy.

This is my semi-regular post stating that I am still not super duper over the loss of the greatest human being to ever hold a pair of drumsticks, the Professor, Neil Peart.

Got up early and got real high, now I’m watching M.A.S.K. cartoons and drawing horror comics.
This doesn’t suck.

Happy #PortfolioDay kids!

I'm Blacky... I do mostly horror, but big robots and heroines are definitely in the mix!
