Name is pronounced like “Vlod”

I draw Comix and other cool shit.
Right after we dropped our March issue of SOOT ‘N’ SPRINKLES magazine into our subscribers inbox, @theivorybunny.bsky.social made full size print versions to see what they would look like…

This changes everything for me 🤯

Long live print!!

An #AKIRA tribute piece I collaborated on with my wife @theivorybunny.bsky.social for OTAKU NO GAIJIN vol 2, a #KayFamComics project.

I did #pencils, she then came thru with #watercolor and then I #inked it to bring it all home.

Very proud of this page, only our third time working together!

This is spectacular 🤤
A recent commission for a friend.

The success of Absolute Batman fills me with so much hope for the future of the superhero comics tradition.

Nick Dragotta is a bad ass and a gentleman of the highest caliber.

My latest at @comicsjournal.bsky.social : a talk with Avi Ehrlich of @silversprocket.net about the many challenges ahead.

It's more biz-oriented than most of my previous chats, but give it a read. Avi genuinely cares about the artists they publish. It's nice to see.

Here’s an episode from my comic THE LITTLE THINGS that I really like.

Based on a true story of course…

I still feel bad 😂

Some more formative Comics!

Also that Calvin & Hobbes strip is accurate to how I work
