The wheel of emotions after watching the Rockets in the playoffs this year. The same can be said about watching the NBA draft lottery. Oof.

A comic series called SPEAR set in the world of Genndy's PRIMAL...

I had a blast with this page. What do you guys think? Fun idea? I know that I'd read the heck out of it!

The World Is a Funny Page is the comic series that I've been working on for the last year. After MONTHS of mulling over it, I have landed on the best descriptive analogy for the book. It’s artsy Indiana Jones. Pulp adventure, art crimes, surrealism, detective-craft, and more.

Comics are the best.

Robot Tod by @farel.bsky.social is a beautiful comic and needs to be on your pull list. Run to your LCS and snag it ASAP

I had so much fun with the book. Here's a doodle of ol' Toddy boy.

I talk more about the comic in this week's newsletter. Link in comments!

I've often said that if I could contribute to one franchise it'd be PLANET OF THE APES.

Fell in love with the movies when I was just a wee lad, and I love the new ones. Can't wait for what's to come after KINGDOM. It's a franchise that keeps on giving!

Here's a sketch of my guy Dr. Zaius.

Blockhead is the BEST comics podcast out there. Host and artist @geoffgcomics.bsky.social talks to cartoonists and has lovely conversations. It's my favorite thing to listen to when I'm drawing or when I'm daydreaming about going home and working on comics. Creators/fans - check out Blockhead ASAP!

Phantom Road by Jeff Lemire and Gabriel Walta is, as the kids say, a BANGER. A slow-burning, surreal horror-fantasy with down right beautiful art. Check it out.

Here's a drawing of the nightmarish walkers that infiltrated my dreams after reading volume 1.

The publisher rejection email life cycle...

Hero or villain origin story??

New to Bluesky. This Summer, I published a graphic novel called WEST, NOT SOUTH. It's a wild, wacky, and surreal crime-comedy story. It's a hoot!

My sketchbook after reading Bear Pirate Viking Queen. Man, this book was a visual force. Definitely in my top books of 2024
