Some recent Resident Evil pin designs for Puncture Wound Pins:

Illustration of the Licker from Resident Evil. You know, the one with the tongue and the exposed brain and the big clumpy claw hands. He's crawling and looking back and his tongue is spiraling at you as if you were offering to share your ice cream cone with him.

Illustration of Lady Dimitrescu's daughters for an enamel pin. Three hooded women with bloody mouths and blades and way too much going on with their necklaces. What're those green rocks for anyway, you gonna go fight Superman? Anyway there's also a big fly in the design because apparently the daughters are made of imitation blow-flies and I needed something to put at the bottom to pull it all together. I guess that means their necklaces are also made of flies so those green rocks aren't doing jack if they go up against Superman. I haven't played these games in awhile though, I could be wrong. it's possible.

Illustration of Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters for a pin design. The daughters wear hooded outfits and have bloody mouths and blades. They're posed to match a painting seen in the game based on The Three Robinson Sisters. The lady wears a big fancy hat, a fancy dress, and has massive metal claws coming out of the fingers of her gloved hands. Also she's maybe ten feet tall and the daughters are not.

Started off only knowing it was gonna have the Mystery Man with the camcorder and timelapse shows where I went "uhhhh" and kept futzing until it seemed okay enough to stop

Made some Lost Highway fan art for fun.

Fan art of David Lynch's Lost Highway, featuring the Mystery Man holding a camcorder, Patricia Arquette's characters overlaid in blue and red over headlights on a dark highway, and the two male leads split in the background, also in blue and red.

Only making designs I can imagine on shirts I would've worn in middle school, now and forever. This is my apotheosis

Poster for the Denim Devil, a denim-themed wannabe slasher, done in a style that I've seen called acid graphics or neo-acid but least accurately as brutalism, I really don't think it's brutalist, maybe just because it's a grid-heavy kinda look? I don't know. There's some big text and a bunch of little text that is mostly there to look neat. These make me think of the kinds of shirts I would've really been into in middle school or something, I think even the guys who picked on me would've been like 'nice shirt weirdo' before pulling it over my head and kicking me in the face, which would've been an improvement over whatever loser shirt I was actually wearing back then. Maybe Guardians of the Coast or something with Spawn. Geez I sucked in middle school, middle school sucked

This is it, this is the stuff I do now, things that look like this. Nothing that is not like this.

Poster for an actual real-ass movie called The Unquenchable Thirst for Beau Nerjoose, done in a style that I've seen called acid-graphics or brutalist, but I really don't think it's brutalist, so I dunno. Lot of distressed paper texture, boxes, giant headline and a bunch of little text. There's an evil doctor with a knife, a guy looking at a worm creature puppet apparently coming out of his rear, cast pictures of people who were apparently cool with being in a movie called The Unquenchable Thirst for Beau Nerjoose, some other worm puppet dudes. One little text block reads: Everybody is telling you that you're the chosen one who needs to stop an evil doctor intent on ruling the universe.

Just gonna make these things going forward, only stuff that looks like this

Nonsense poster with Big Boy, Bettie Boop and A&W bear statues, big text reads ‘mealtime’ little text is random breakfast menu items, done in a style that I keep seeing called Brutalist but no it’s not - I guess acid graphics or neo-acid is closer, I dunno, but it looks like the coolest tshirt 12 year old me would ever wear

Kathy from "The Mask Returns." Doug Mahnke's been one of my favorite artists in comics for as long as I've had favorite artists in comics, and my copies of the first two "The Mask" TPBs are damn near falling apart at this point. This one was the best of my last batch of Big-head studies.

Comic style art of Kathy from 'The Mask Returns.' Big green head and wielding a flamethrower, torching left side of the frame.

Coming soon, a reference I can't imagine landing but hey

Handed dad my phone to show him the neat new Hellraiser drawing I did and he looks and swipes to the next pic and it’s this and this is the one we talk about

Super duper rough thumbnail sketch for the Denim Devil comic, in which the eponymous Denim Devil sneaks up on a woman holding a large sex toy. The final version, I assure you, was in color.

My buddies made a Sasquatch movie a little while back and commissioned me for some background art that didn’t make it into the film. We liked the concept for it enough that I made some fan art for the film based on it. Check out #SummoningTheSpirit for your Bigfoot cult drama fix

Poster illustration concept for the film Summoning the Spirit, with tagline reading: Embrace your fear. A Sasquatch stands in background with fingers dripping blood. A woman floats in front of the Sasquatch. At the bottom, silhouettes of a cult. Background is green forest in contrast to red illustrative elements.

Y’know what? Screw it. Cats.

Two ridiculously cute kittens cuddling together. One’s black, the other is whatever that stripes mix of brown and white is, and she’s got the Scottish fold ears thing. It’s just too damn cute.

Absolute Batman 8: Marcos Martín gives the action such fun action-horror dynamics, Muntsa Vicente’s colors are striking, Clayton Cowles’s lettering builds on all this and elevates it and somehow after writing so much damn Batman, Scott Snyder is delivering his most innovative and stunning takes

The Ultimates 12: Big Nextwave vibes from H.A.N.D. No complaints. Doop! Tony Stark pulls a Clara Oswald. Eager to see how Ultimates 3.0 plays out. Having the status quo of this world be deeply corrupt and corrupted sure makes the Ultimate universe more relatable than Marvel proper

You’ll Do Bad Things 2: really digging the art style and color pallet choices, stuff I want to try out. More hooked now on the plot after this issue, a lot of fascinating threads

Neutro does not know the difference between right and wrong

The Slasher’s Apprentice 1 - Cosmic Monkey had a signed copy out at the counter, figured I should check it out since I’ve been making my own slasher comic. Good premise, really liking the execution (hah) so far. Rebecca Nalty’s colors are great here, I’m taking notes

Absolute Superman 7 - Body Horror Brainiac shovels. He shovels well. Maybe one of the darker Superman books where he’s still heroic.

Absolute Green Lantern 2 - out of all the absolute books, I’m least sure about where we’re going with this one. I’m a big fan of Al Ewing so I’m sticking with it - so far feels like all the mainline GL alter egos stuck in a Stephen King novel. I’m intrigued.

Ultimate Spider-man 16 - as ultimate as ever. The ultimate Mysterious design and concept are fantastic. Very pleased by the twist at the end, can’t wait to see how this pans out.

Batman: The Long Halloween: The Last Halloween number 7 was a good entry. I wasn’t thrilled about the rotating artist concept for this series but it’s been going well. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen this scene happen in a Batman comic before - very nice for the Mother’s Day issue

Deniz Camp is writing some of my favorite marvel and DC now, figured I better see what else he’s up to - Assorted Crisis Events is shaping up to be a real fun/dark anthology. Maybe I should’ve started with these, gotta go back to Martian Manhunter to fix my vibes

Issue 2 and issue 1 of Assorted Crisis Events

Absolute Flash made me realize why I like this line so much - it feels like Vertigo takes on the characters. The Flash costume teased here especially gives those vibes.
