Throwback to one of my first ever ink commissions of Death of the Endless. Drawn directly on to the last page collector's sketchbook. The book was filled with amazing art by incredible artists I remember I was so nervous adding my drawing to it! I'm still proud of it after all this time 😊🖤

From the official Marvel Tarot Deck, the Silver Surfer as the Hermit and Galactus as the Tower card. I loved getting to illustrate so many cool characters for this deck! 💫

A recent waist up Zatanna commission I inked inside a blank comic 🪄🎩✨ The tiny frame details were a challenge to ink on the page - I know for next time to design something simpler😅

Sharing my Daredevil ⚖️ done for the Justice card for the official Marvel Tarot deck. I tried to include as many visual elements from the classic card designs as possible when designing my cards.

Sam Wilson Captain America as the The Chariot card for the official Marvel Tarot deck ⭐
It was a challenge to find a way to pose him and his wings into the vertical format.

Starting 2025 (and my 1st post here) by sharing the last commission I finished in 2024 - Jack O Lantern 🎃
I admit I had never heard of this character before receiving this commission but it was a fun one to design!
