Just a great big pile of a lot of comics, books, and art I've worked on over the years. To everyone out there creating your art, please keep on doing it. Every step of the creative process is a wonderful experience and you'll be much happier for it. Keep creating, go nuts!

I drew Trendmasters Anguirus for this collab! It was also a really fun opportunity to try an all-digital piece. #trendmasters #anguirus #kaiju #artwork #digitalart

A digital illustration of the Trendmasters version of Anguirus, made for a Kaijune 2025 collab! He is charging toward the viewer with sheer brute strength in his stride.

I wanted to try something a little different. Not only did I go with a toy version of a character (especially a toyline that is very nostalgic for me), but I usually stick with traditional media, or a mix of both (line art by hand, digital coloring). This was 100% digital. I felt this would be a fun opportunity to stretch those muscles some.

Just gonna repost this one for no reason in particular.

A lot of GODZILLA MINUS ONE's anti-war message resonates heavily with me. Despite being set ~80 years ago and specifically in one region of the world, its sentiment is universal.

And I turn to the real world, and I see the very thing the movie spoke against - no one deserves to die just because some well-dressed people in business suits say so.

"One side must be obliterated" is not anti-war. Lobbing munitions capable of leveling entire buildings and calling the casualties "human shields" is not anti-war. Boasting of being an upholder of peace while supplying weapons to oppressors is not anti-war.

Saying no to a ceasefire is not anti-war.

Unfortunately I didn't get around to making a "No Kings" post last Saturday...on a completely unrelated topic, here's a drawing of the Edgar Allan Poe classic tale 'Hop-Frog'. I needed the right reference for the evil and foolish king so I went with a modern source.

I recently watched the documentary "Pee-wee as Himself"; I've only ever drawn Pee-wee once before, as part of a drawing request where a patron asked for a 'Face/Off' parody but with Paul Reubens and Nicolas Cage (and hey, I think it could have worked as a movie!).

My "Monochrome Series" Godzilla paintings. 🧵1/5 These are 16x20 paintings I did as an exercise to show that limitation can't stop you from making art. Reposting them, this time with alt text. "Gojira 1954" (2018) #godzilla #kaiju #artwork #painting #acrylics #traditionalart

An acrylic painting of Godzilla 1954. He's blasting his atomic breath while standing amidst a sea of fire.

The overall piece was done in blues to compliment the character and to show that art can still be made despite a limitation of colors.

Someone asked how long I've been painting - almost to the day, ten years. Well, I have done paintings prior for high school art class assignments. But I looked at one and said if I could do that then, imagine what I could do now. So yeah, here's a little retrospective. 1/ 2015-2018 #painting

An acrylic painting of Gamera, standing amidst a sea of flames.

It is a little rough, as this was the first time in 6 years (since high school) that I painted something. But this is what I made because I saw one of those school assignments and said, "If I could do that then, imagine what I could do now".

Also, this was done on Bristol board (aka really thick drawing paper). The smooth texture naturally results in a much different appearance than if I had used a stretched canvas.

9x12 Bristol; 2015

An acrylic painting of Alien Baltan from Ultraman. A blue gradient backdrop was meant to give it an ominous presence.

8x10 canvas; 2016

An acrylic painting of Biollante (beast form) towering above in the back; Godzilla, who has a cluster of thorny vines wrapped around his thigh and a severed tendril in his hand; and Biollante's rose form is front and center in a lake, with the surrounding land covered in roses of various colors (in reference to a deleted scene from the movie). There is a heavy use of blue to give the piece a somewhat gloomy and rainy atmosphere.

At the time, this was the largest piece I had ever made, earning it the nickname "the Big Painting". Being this early on, it was definitely an ambitious feat.

24x36 canvas; 2017

An acrylic painting based on Godzilla vs Gigan, with the monsters' designs being the Trendmasters toys from the '90s, which earned this piece the nickname "the Toybox Painting". Godzilla and Anguirus are confronting Gigan in front of the Godzilla Tower (which is based on the Imperial Godzilla toy from the '80s), while King Ghidorah is flying above. The diamond that Gigan emerges from in the 1972 film is shining brightly in the sky.

The bottom 1/3rd of the piece is of another Godzilla and Anguirus, but as their on-screen designs. This piece was made the year after Haruo Nakajima had passed away, and Godzilla vs Gigan was his last film in the Godzilla suit; this was my acknowledgement of him in this piece.

24x36 canvas; 2018

R.I.P. Jim Smith. I've written a longer obit for him on my other social media (too long to post here), so I'll give the quick version now that he was a super-nice guy and always fun to work with. Here's hoping he's still drawing really crazy, weird, messed-up cartoons on heaven's clouds right now.
