This is a joke for so few people that it borders on surreal

“May god watch over us and bless us, all of Boletaria. Embasa brand jalapeños…”
Embasa brand jarred jalapeños. The brand kinda sounds like “Umbasa” and that’s the whole joke. I should be sorry but I’m not. Saint Urbain from Demon’s Souls for the PS3 (fuck the remake) kneeling on the ground probably ending every sentence with “Umbasa”

Game of the Year, eh? I think we ALLLLL know who deserves the big banana this year
Digital illustration in the style of a manga panel of Donkey Kong flexing powerfully. DK is wearing his trademark tie along with a pair of pants with suspenders holding them up and gritting his teeth as he flexes up towards the viewer. Action lines radiate from him as well as gigantic kanji sound effects which read something like “BAM” or “POW” in English, probably. Art by me!

Data gets in the strangest of positions to lay on us sometimes
My cat Data laying in a weird position to wrap partway around my arm while I’m laying in bed on my phone. Our overhead light makes it all look like a much older phone took this photo

For years I've had this idea for a pulp vigilante based on the Mothman and I think I've FINALLY settled on a design for him.

Is he just a ripoff of The Sandman and The Shadow with some cryptid shit thrown in? I'll never tell~
Digital sketch of a man leaning to one side and holding a revolver down by his hip. He's thin but wearing a very heavy wide cloak with a fur mantle over his body drawn tight with a chain. His face is hidden by a gas mask with red eye lenses and a slouched fedora that matches the color of his double-breasted suit jacket and jodhpurs, which are tucked into a pair of riding boots. He's The Mothman, but not like the big bug monster, just a pulp comic book vigilante inspired by it. (ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL by me, Jeff Pennington)

I always thought Ledian was pretty Digimon-esque and I’d love to partner with them

ESPECIALLY cause that lil bugger is based on my guy Pulseman

Just finished my second Easy Rawlins novel by Walter Mosley (my third Mosley overall) and he’s quickly become one of my favorite writers. Extremely tight dialogue and characterization with stakes that feel intense and real.

I enjoyed Devil in a Blue Dress a bit more but this is still 9/10 for me.
“A Red Death” by Walter Mosley photographed on my extremely yellow ottoman that goes with my extremely yellow reading chair.

Late night CutMan.EXE doodle for funsies between work
Digital doodle of CutMan.EXE from the Mega Man Battle Network series of video games and whatnot. He's a precocious little fella throwing up scissor-hands with a big cocky smile on his face and one leg kicked up into the air. The background has several 'cut along these lines' lines going to an fro behind him.

While Metroid Prime 4 is having some heavy discourse atm check out my shot at a manga version of Samus Aran from a while back
A black and white manga style illustration of Samus Aran from the Metroid series of video games, specifically styled on her Varia Suit armor from the game Super Metroid for the SNES. She stands ready to battle, hand on her arm cannon at the ready, which is already spewing smoke from being used a moment before. Her face can be seen dimly through the shine on her helmet’s visor. The entire piece is rendered in black and white and utilizes screen tones for the varying grays throughout.

Hey @idwpublishing.com ! Do you need a cover artist for your rad new Rocketeer comic by any chance? I’m very VERY available!
Digital illustration of pulp comic book and film character The Rocketeer blasting through stormy clouds with his famous jetpack. He is an adult male wearing a gold toned metal helmet with dark lenses and a grated mouth piece, a reddish brown leather jacket with a gold-over chest flap and gold buttons, tan jhodpurs, and black leather gloves and high boots. He is saluting the viewer with one hand and controlling the thrust of the jetpack on his back with the other which is spouting yellow and red flames that turn into a spiraling trail of gray smoke. Art by me, Jeff Pennington!

For real I think I could knock it out of the park doing comic covers and variants! I’m very easy to work with and physically very strong people tell me
Digitally illustrated comic book cover art for The Sword, a modern revival of an obscure golden age comic book character published by Ace Periodicals. A young black man in gleaming golden armor rests a glowing magical golden sword in his shoulder as he smirks confidentially at the viewer. He has a small goatee and a wide high top fade. A young white woman runs across the cover above and behind him wearing a long purple overcoat which flutters in the wind and black pants and fishnet sleeves. She has half of her black hair dyed white and multiple piercings. In the far back at the top of the piece a being made of pure undulating darkness with a near-featureless mask holds a hand out as if to control the entire situation. The eyeholes of the mask are leaking a bright whispy energy. Two banners unfurl behind The Sword, fluttering in the wind. Captain Sisko of Star Trek Deep Space Nine as the 1950’s science fiction writer Benny Russell, with the ghostly presence of the actual Sisko hovering contemplating over his shoulder. Russell wears a fedora, gold rimmed glasses, and a suit and tie and has a look of disbelief on his face. His right glasses lense has the reflection of the space station Deep Space Nine covering it. Digital portrait of Elden Ring character Malenia, Blade of Miquella. She is touching a digitized butterfly from the Kirby series of video games because that’s what the client wanted and I did it even though it’s kinda made this portrait not of the zeitgeist but whatever. The touch of the butterfly is digitizing Malenia, her lower half already transforming into broken apart glowing pixels. She wears a golden prosthetic arm and golden winged valkyrie’s helm, dark red cloak with a furred neckline, and a series of overlapping robes with golden accessories. What can be seen of her right arm is rotted into an indiscriminate inhuman tone. Her red hair is flowing from beneath her helmet, framing her body on either side. Digital illustration combining Nickelodeon’s Doug with Kentaro Miura’s Berserk. The Berserk logo has been over-written with the Doug logo as if the red kanji text translates to “Doug.” Doug Funnie is partially dressed as Guts and carries his massive demon slayer sword in the foreground while the Band of the Hawk in the mid ground is represented by the fictional band The Beets. In the back ground Skeeter Valentine, dressed as Griffith, looks into the distance with a blank smile while Patti Mayonnaise, dressed as Casca, looks contemplative and distant behind him. Rolling clouds lead into the sunset in the far distance.

If anybody has a hook up at @dynamitecomicshq.bsky.social maybe put a good word in for your ol’ pal Jeff to do some cover art! I’m pretty darn good I’ve heard
Digital illustration of Undyne from Undertale standing in full Royal Guard armor, her helmet tucked beneath her arm and her other hand grasping onto a glowing spear which highlights along her reflective armor. She has a gigantic, janky maniacal smile on her face and her ponytail is whipping in the wind. A lightning bolt crashes dramatically in the background, highlighting her figure from behind. Art by me! Digital illustration of pulp comic book and film character The Rocketeer blasting through stormy clouds with his famous jetpack. He is an adult male wearing a gold toned metal helmet with dark lenses and a grated mouth piece, a reddish brown leather jacket with a gold-over chest flap and gold buttons, tan jhodpurs, and black leather gloves and high boots. He is saluting the viewer with one hand and controlling the thrust of the jetpack on his back with the other which is spouting yellow and red flames that turn into a spiraling trail of gray smoke. Art by me! A black and white digital painting of Captain Jean Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation dressed as his Holodeck counterpart, hard boiled 1940’s detective Dixon Hill. He wears a classic detective’s outfit of fedora, overcoat, suit and tie. He’s illuminated by a light source coming through Venetian blinds off screen in a mostly black dark room otherwise. “The Big Goodbye by Tracy Torme”, the title of both the episode this is homaging and the fictional book the episode is based on, resides to the right of Picard in stylized lettering. Art by me! Digital illustration of Spider-Man from the less-than-stellar Spider-Man Unlimited cartoon series hanging on to a wall in a bright yellow spotlight surrounded by various wanted posters depicting him as wanted by the law. He is recoiling away from the light which illuminates the blue shadows everywhere else in the piece. Two moons hang in the air in the distance behind a few scattered clouds, and a gigantic poster of the Big Brother-like leader of this alien planet (oh yeah this is all happening on Counter-Earth, an alien world full of furries) The High-Evolutionary looms in the background down a different street. Art by me!

Data misses the season of spooks and baghouls just as much as we do, I think

I watched GDT’s Frankenstein the other day and absolutely loved it, dearly. I understand the criticism lobbied at it, and personally it’s a bummer we still don’t have a direct adaption of the novel on film, but it’s a sublime and gorgeous film that you would be missing out on by skipping. 9/10 ⭐️

Today was my wife Krystal and my 10th wedding anniversary! We have more planned for when we can take time off but for today we learned how to blacksmith and made metal chopsticks together and then ate UNBELIEVABLY delicious Korean BBQ. Such a great day with my favorite person on Earth
Photograph of me and my wife Krystal standing in the forge together wearing heavy aprons. I’m the big bald one. The anvil I used in the blacksmithing class with my hammer, forge gloves, and the chopsticks I made sitting on top of it. You can peep the tip of my Chuck Taylor in the bottom middle too. My hand (top) and Krystal’s hand (bottom) holding the two sets of metal chopsticks we made during our blacksmithing class. They ain’t ugly, they’re our utensils! You can see various forge related things in the bg including the action forge itself spitting out hot ass flames.

Commission of Van Arkride from Trails Through Daybreak partaking in the most delectable sweet treat of them all: a Choco Taco. For @obakabible.bsky.social
Digital illustration of Van Arkride, the protagonist of the video game Trails Through Daybreak, enjoying a delectable Choco Taco at a small round table. He is a fair skinned man with dark hair that has a blue streak of color through its fringe and bright blue eyes. He is wearing an ornate blue and black overcoat with a white fur collar with the sleeves rolled up over a grey half-zipped hoodie, a red t-shirt and a rectangular metal necklace. He stares lovingly at the Choco Taco he’s just taken a bite out of. The table has a glass of water with a straw, a napkin, and a small plate on it. Art by me, Jeff Pennington.

I know this isn’t the point of this cover but LOOK AT HOW SICK the second Blue Beetle costume is, man. Top 10 comic costumes ever for me, maybe? Could be!
Promotional cover image of DC Comics (originally Charlton Comics) superhero Blue Beetle/ Ted Kord. He’s a thin white dude in a multi-tone blue costume with black outlines and a yellow belt buckle to match the yellow goggles on the mask. He’s dropping upside down holding a zip line from his floating hovercraft above the city simply called “The Bug.” I wish I could make out who drew this and I feel shitty that I can’t attribute it in alt text so the constant bullying about alt text on this site is working super well.
