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.

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.
