Currently writing and painting a story for ‘Twilight Zone’ for IDW - it has been fun to draw humans again for a change. Hah also a lot of my story decisions are rooted in light and color- so it has been a fun challenge to take one of those tools away.

We love that @jaredcullum.bsky.social has taken into account readers of his first Kodi book are now 6 years older. A Place to Call Home is longer, better and features art that's even more beautiful. @topshelfcomix.bsky.social theslingsandarrows.com/kodi-a-place...

Made it to @SPXcomics ! (I’ll be at N6) I usually spend the majority of after hours time plein air painting in the neighborhood. Here’s some older ones from years previous. Anyhow! Come see me at N6 - I’ll have original pages/plein air paintings and copies of Kodi 2!

Blown away by this sculpture/action figure of Usagi Kaitō ’84 by master 3d model/sculptor Manuel Cardozo! Took some glamour shots but they don’t even show how moveable and high-quality it feels in-hand. So honored the artist gifted me, Zack and Stan a copy of the figure.
