Still have a few more deadlines to hit before the end of the year, but these are some of my favorites from 2025. I’m a lucky dude to get to draw such weird stuff! #illustration #cartooning #comics #beerart #packagedesign

I give my two cents on color vs black and white in comics after listening to @bradguigar.com and @davekellett.bsky.social on last week’s Comic Lab episode. Killer show, guys! There’s a link to their show and that episode in the beginning of the Substack article.

SAVE. THE. DATE. 12.19.25
Alternative Tentacles Records and the Dead Kennedys were my gateway to the work of Winston Smith and Studio Fallout. To have my work be part of the Bat Show 3.0? Crazy. I’m so pumped about this one!

Had a blast at the @american_illustration_winners party last night! Great running into old friends and making new ones. My only regret is that I didn’t think to take photos until the end of the night.
