Villaintober 2026 day 6, Crossbones. Being the 30th anniversary of Heroes Reborn, I thought going back to that controversial run from Rob Liefeld would be fun. #villaintober #inktober #captainamerica #heoresreborn #robliefled

It’s October & having said that, we have a new list. It’s Villaintober & the overall theme is Marvel Villains, some I’ve drawn, some I haven’t. Today’s entry is Annihilus. #inktober2026 #villaintober #annihilus #marvel

Mulletor Monday two for one!!! Kim Possible’s Motor Ed & Doctor Drakken, both with epic mullets, both actually related to each other & both voiced by John DiMaggio. That’s a lot of coincidences… #mulletormonday #kimpissible #doctordrakken #motored

Derek Barton Art 🇨🇦 @derek-barton-art.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

It’s Tic Toc Tom Tuesday & I have a copy of One Way or Another, our newest book now available on Amazon but should be available at @worldscollideca.bsky.social soon. 363 pages for $25 is a bargain!!! #tictoctom #tictoctomtuesday #worldscollide

Mulletor is taking the night off so he’s sharing a sketch of Chris Stewart’s Blue Orchid, which I don’t draw enough of. This was a sketch I drew from Convergence this past Saturday. #blueorchid #mulletormonday #candiancomics

Derek Barton Art 🇨🇦 @derek-barton-art.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Anyways, the fine folks at @worldscollideca.bsky.social have let as many of us from Tic Toc Tom to share their table at Convergence 2026 in downtown Oshawa THIS SATURDAY!!! Drop in & say hi.

Derek Barton Art 🇨🇦 @derek-barton-art.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

It’s Tic Toc Tom Tuesday & I thought I’d share another pointless reorganizing of my studio space. I do this on a semi regular basis, maybe this arrangement will stick.

Derek Barton Art 🇨🇦 @derek-barton-art.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

It’s Mulletor Monday & here’s a new sketch of an old Tic Toc Tom foe, the Conquistador. @worldscollideca.bsky.social has been gracious again to share their table with the TTT crew which includes me, drop in & say hi. #mulletormonday #convergence2026 #convergenceoshawa #gorilla

We now have a bit of distance from X-Men ‘97 and I will say season two was a bit more of a mixed bag than I anticipated, but I’m excited to see what Mystique does in season 3 & what a Graydon Creed presidency would look like. #xmen97 #xmen #mystique

Derek Barton Art 🇨🇦 @derek-barton-art.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

It’s Tic Toc Tom Tuesday & Madame 666 & Ek are about to paint the town red. @worldscollideca.bsky.social has been kind enough to allow us some space at their set up for Convergence this year on Saturday, September 19. Drop by & say hello!!! #tictoctom #tictoctomtuesday #convergenceoshawa

Derek Barton Art 🇨🇦 @derek-barton-art.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

It’s been a few weeks since X-Men ‘97 ended & I do have mixed feelings about this season. Anyways, here Colossus drawn on grey toned paper, I did this one live on my YT & Twitch (link in bio) and yes, it was awkward. #xmen97 #colossus

It’s Tic Toc Tom Tuesday & here’s something form my sketchbook from a few years back. On top of going through time, he blows things up. www.tictoctom.com #tictoctomtuesday #tictoctom #torontocomix #indycomics

Derek Barton Art 🇨🇦 @derek-barton-art.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Mulletor is feeling a little overwhelmed this week so he’s just going to chill. Hands down Optimus Prime was my favourite fictional character so I thought I’d attempt to draw him on this sketch cover. #transformers #optimusprime #petercullen #transformersg1 #mulletormonday

This was some saddening news indeed. RIP Peter Cullen, whose career played a big part in defining my childhood.

It’s Tic Toc Tom Tuesday & here’s a flashback from last year’s Tic Toc Tober, Indiglo Tom. This look only made a few appearances in print but I like it. #tictoctomtuesday #indiglo #tictoctom

It’s Mulletor Monday & I thought I’d show off Brock Samson from The Venture Bros. from a few years back. This was hand drawn on @eonprez.bsky.social #mulletormonday #brocksampson #theventurebros #theventurebrosfanart

Derek Barton Art 🇨🇦 @derek-barton-art.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

And just like that, season 2 of X-Men ‘97 is done. I have my nitpicks but I did enjoy it overall and I seem to be more excited for next season. #xmen97 #xmentheanimatedseries #disneyplus #marvel #marvelanimation

It’s Tic Toc Tom Tuesday & I don’t know about any of you, but I more often than not sketch random things on the backs of my comic boards, nothing specific, but in this case, I was thinking through the outfit I put Iggy in for a specific story. #tictoctomtuesday #tictoctom

Za’s Vid! It’s Mulletor Monday & here’s an older Shatterstar piece I made while wondering if we’ll ever see him at any point in X-Men ‘97… #mulletormonday #shatterstar #xmen97 #xforce #deadpool2

It’s Tic Toc Tom Tuesday & I know I showed this pencil sketch of Iggy a while ago but now I’m trying my hand at inking with a brush. I haven’t seen much for Tic Toc Tom drawings lately, let’s fix that!!! #tictoctomtuesday #tictoctom #tictoctomcomic

Derek Barton Art 🇨🇦 @derek-barton-art.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

It’s Mulletor Monday & I know I’ve got a lot of fans who are wanting to give other Marvel cartoons the ‘97 treatment, but I really want to see Gargoyles get that revival treatment. #mulletormonday #gargoyles #xmen97

Derek Barton Art 🇨🇦 @derek-barton-art.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

My biggest influences at this point is Erik Larsen (well, he’s been an influence since I started drawing seriously) & Terry Moore, who’s work I’ve enjoyed but have really gotten into in recent years. Anyways, happy TTT Tuesday!

Derek Barton Art 🇨🇦 @derek-barton-art.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

It’s Tic Toc Tom Tuesday & I am working on some new stuff. I’m also learning how to use the Ames lettering guide that I bought years ago & attempting hand lettering.

Derek Barton Art 🇨🇦 @derek-barton-art.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Mulletor is taking time for himself today. We had found out over the weekend that our friend & Wednesday Warrior Ken Gallant had suddenly passed away. Until I can get a proper tribute piece put together, here’s a cover I did for his comic within the comic character, Walrus Boy. RIP sir

Mulletor’s taking the night off so I opted to finish a long time item off my checklist. Here are the belts that I’ve earned over the 30 years I’ve been in karate, still looking forward to the next 30 years of training!!!

It’s Tic Toc Tom Tuesday & poor Jack is overwhelmed by the aroma of cow pie. What’s going on? This is the kind of stuff I share on my Patreon account behind the wall, but the wall is only $1/month. Check the link 👇 www.patreon.com/derekbarton?...

Mulletor is getting his fun but not age appropriate cereal ready for Wednesday when the long awaited X-Men ‘97 season 2 premiere. So here’s Wolverine sans adamantium. #mulletormonday #mutantmonday #wolverine #xmen97

Mulletor has been doing some manual labour in my studio, updating book cases. It’s still a work in progress but Mulletor is on a coffee break and interrupting those is never a good idea. #mulletormonday #studiospace

It’s Tic Toc Tom Tuesday & here’s a sketch of Madame 666 drawn live with TTT themselves. I’m hoping to get up to 1000 followers on IG so I can go live again, I miss it. #tictoctomtuesday #tictoctom #maneater #diediemydarling
