Attempting to crank out some content for Halloween. Why is it that I feel like the last 3 or 4 months of every year seem like I’m barreling down that first hill on a roller coaster?!? 😳
Shout out to Ed Emberley. I spent many hours as a child going through his books, good times!

A core summer memory for a lot of us was a visit from the ice cream man on our street as a kid. Now whether or not your parents gave you money for that ice cream was another matter. 😉

Maybe this was like some kind of art therapy for me? 😂 I’m not giving up my comics anytime soon though. 😉

Happy Birthday Smokey the Bear! Just a quick tribute to one of my favorite mascots. Our National Park system is one of the great treasures of our country. The current administration doesn’t care about them and is actively trying to diminish them. Let’s all do what we can to help protect them! ♥️🐻🌲🏔️

Happy National Spider-Man Day! Reliving this classic moment from The Amazing Spider-Man #258, drawn by the legend Ron Frenz! Spidey borrowed a suit from the Fantastic Four after Reed Richards separated him from the symbiotic Venom and the Amazingly Bombastic Bag-Man was born! Excelsior! 🕸️

July 4, 2025 is feeling more like a day of shame and embarrassment than a day of celebration. Those of you who feel the same…let’s all remember this when it’s time to vote again.

Random idea that came from an equally random conversation. I like to think someone will benefit from these deep, substantial thoughts. 😆

Was a bit overwhelmed at seeing this exhibit in person! So much of these movies is part of my creative DNA and it was a real treat to experience all of it up close and personal. I didn’t think it was possible to have more respect for Ray, but now I do!
