Here’s a recent illustration for the Canadian Medical Association for their Why I Med campaign.
I’ve been having a blast working on these illustrations over the past while and am currently searching for more work in this vein so if you have a project that you think I’d be a good fit for hit me up!

It's rare to read comics with such a raw, visceral energy to it from both the aesthetic of the artwork to how it feels to actually read it.

Very late to the Brecht Evens train, but I just read The Wrong Place and -- holy! I couldn't connect with the story, but as a piece of comics storytelling, this book is phenomenal.

Apparently we’re supposed to be making a terrible comic today but I’ve just been plugging away on roughing out my Box Man comic which will, god willing, not be terrible some day. Here’s a peek at a rough page xoxo

The new 28 movie is fantastic. Very much lives up to days while doing its own thing. Very curious to see what's next with the series

Okay this one floored me -- Bob by David Genchi and Michele Marchetti. It's got it all. It's political, poetic grotesque, pornographic, funny, and wonderfully surreal.
Thanks to @hollowpress.bsky.social for publishing such interesting books

They're even kind enough to show how much better the book could have looked by giving you examples of the original art in the back of the book -- the original pages are so much stronger than what they actually give as the bulk of the book. Why do this?

And... I want to like it so bad because i have a huge soft spot for Wolverine and it seems like a mostly well made book... but the coloring is so often bafflingly poor with rendering that's just so I'll fitting on Tsutomu Nihei's original art that I find it genuinely hard to read.

Wow, imagine that!
When the Google AI spits out total nonsense like this, I'm honestly amazed that they can stand by the implementation of it. Just absolute trash through and through

Teratoid Heights by Mat Brinkman is fantastic. Just short, somewhat hypnotic stories about some weird little dudes

My biggest struggle in illustration is moving from black and white to Color. Been plugging away on this here and there over the last couple of days trying to find the proper collection of colors to make this look nice… and… I haven’t!
I’ll get there but yeesh it takes forever sometimes!

Here’s how the rough sketch based off of the model looks in the process. Lotsa detail and characters to add but this is where it starts to come together as an acutal illustration

Here's what the illustration is more of less going to look like. The character models aren't mine - - they're just there for reference
