See you at MCAF / FBDM this weekend! GROUP OF 7 Comics in Tent A05 between Roy and Duluth.
Exploring the DNA of #mikemignola #hellboy through drawing this #homage #mashup
Do you think Kirby’s The Demon is somewhere in the genetic? I wanted to see what HB might look like through Kirby’s lens.

Do you ever tweak your artwork after it’s been published?
This one first appeared on social media with a different approach, placing the figures within the title lettering. A variation of that was printed in @group-of-7-comics.bsky.social Peregrines: Badlands.
I think I like this new one best.

A quick digital drawing added to PEREGRINES: BADLANDS from @group-of-7-comics.bsky.social
I see something there, so I’m tempted to use it as the basis for a traditional pen and ink piece.

Have you been to a comics event that profoundly inspired you?
I’m reflecting on our Group of 7 experience at The International Festival of Comics in Angoulême one year ago. Met talented Canadian cartoonists and publishers (in France? 🤣), kind and generous locals, and saw mind-blowing original art.

Started this portrait of Lt. Gray from Peregrines as a drawing demonstration in front of a few classes of grade school students.
Salvaged what I could once I got home. Gotta love white ink.

An image I made in the fall. To be economic, I tried to create a composition that could serve a variety of purposes depending on the cropping. Book cover, display banner, website banner, etc. One of the first I’ve made with characters from both ‘The Group’ and Peregrines.

Do you ever make comics quickly?
‘Peregrines: Badlands’ is the fourth comic that we produced in a spontaneous style, with little to no script, and most panels were drawn in 15-20 min.
The ‘how’ and ‘why’ we (Chris Sanagan and I) worked this way can wait for another time.
Here’s page 1

New cover art for an upcoming graphic novel. I can’t wait to colour it, so maybe it will be a late night.
On second thought, I should consider ink-wash first.
