I have never ever attempted to draw @robertliefeld Youngblood. I was 12 when they hit. Image was life. I was more of a Spawn guy but I bought everything. Chapel’s appearance in Spawn was the coolest thing 13 year old me had ever seen. Today a buddy asked me to try to do something Youngblood so I am.

A little late night sketching. 30 minute quick sketch. Can you name the show and the character? I’m looking at you @darkhorsecomics Hint: I’ve drawn this more than Smodco characters and it’s been my dream to work on this property. This property is literally WHY I got into comics

I enjoy that @mitchgerads.bsky.social and I have an unspoken kinship being booze, food, and being Bob from Bob’s Burgers. That warms my heart.
What doesn’t warm my heart is you guys not sharing or donating to my creator owned Kickstarter. So please, share.

Do you like violence against supernatural forces?
Then you should back my & @JasonSeibel77 creator owned comic Mercer. We’re up to issue 3 and it’s a huge deal! Why? Because I’m taking over as the full time artist starting with page 11 and through issues 4 & 5.

Got the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of the greatest comic book that’s ever been made. I don’t know why @JamesGunn doesn’t have a cartoon series of it in production right now but he should. Seriously, @grantmorrison and @frankquitely1 created a masterpiece that is miles beyond anything else.

This got me. @JamesGunn you beautiful human. The fact that he put White Rabbit in Peacemaker and made her canon is awesome. Seems a cool villain, even if it’s kinda silly here. Loved this!

Going through some old stuff and found some old pieces. All are for sale if you see anything you like. Fun little look back.
All except the Moon Knight and Wolverine pieces are on 9”x 15” Image boards. (The best boards I’ve ever worked on.)
Bomb Queen piece was printed in the Trump Card tpb.

Another smudge glove bites the dust. I’m going to have to start a whole separate fund just for gloves. I’m going through about a glove a month now. Which means I’m drawing a ton. Luckily I have 3 or 4 more in reserve. I can’t draw without it.

Spider-man Reign 2 was dope! Someone let Kaare Andrews have a Spider-man line. Let him take the @toddmcfarlane.bsky.social route on it. Loved the more mature Spidey. He would crush it! Speaking of Todd, @thomashealy.bsky.social why on earth hasn’t Kaare had a run on Spawn? That would be crazy!

The humidity change lead to a pencil lead change. Drawing with F lead felt like I was penciling with a razor blade. Had to bump to 2B just to get that smooth glide again. Sheesh!

Matt and Trey are almost certainly getting a lawsuit for this. But in typical South Park fashion, they go all out. (And the lawsuit will likely go nowhere once he hears that he will have to prove that his Jon Donald is actually bigger than that) Hilarious.
