Started this sketch cover about 8 years ago. Finally pulled it back out and finished it up this week after an amazing Cherry Capital Comic Con. Trying to continue riding the high from being among my favorite people. #comics #sketchcover #art #ink

Drew a "Last Ronin" piece for the Cherry Capital Comic Con drink and draw, one of the two pieces i completed... Forgot to snag a picture of the second one. Had a great time with lots of wonderful conversations. This will be available at the Art Auction Saturday night at the C4 after hours party.

Another blast from the past... The TARDIS card box i made for our wedding in 2012.

Another piece i did from some years back. Was working on some Grumpy Cat (tm) studies and drew one that looked rather like MODOK... Then this thing was birthed into the world.

For Valentine's Day I thought I'd share our 'Save The Date' card I created for my wedding back in 2012...

Nailed it.

Can't believe it's been 13 years since i made this Beatles and Muppets inspired poster for the Michigan State University Comics Forum. Ton of fun putting this thing together.

Sometimes you draw something that just makes you smile... This gorilla does that for me.

It's that time of the year when all the cookie boxes get labeled appropriately...

Matisse has a bowling field trip tomorrow. Every time she can take a sack lunch to these things she does. Why? Because i draw stuff like this on her lunch bags.

I've been meaning to do some fan art of this for a while now. Hawk from Ryan Tavarez's wonderful comic NOMADS. I absolutely love the design the mask has a ton of life and character to it.

Ryan is currently running a kickstarter collecting the first 6 issues find it here kck.st/4fJ1NDK

When your daughter asks for a mascot penguin head for her halloween costume... you make a mascot penguin head.

When my daughter has field trips she likes to take a bagged lunch. I like to give her a little surprise when she heads to school... These were for her "Big Zoo Lesson" a couple years ago.

I felt the need to up my game a little each day.

Here's a piece from many moons ago. This was part of a project where fine art was reinterpreted in a comics style. I chose the piece "Lunch at the Restaurant Fournaise" (also known as The Rowers' Lunch) by Renoir. I chose to make a single page comic that interprets events leading up to the painting.
