I made a new flyer for Coffee Zombie Collective! This one announces their upcoming Halloween show at Moe’s Alley on October 10th with opener Rabbit Truck.

Digital painting of a monster sitting on a stump in the swamp surrounded by dark trees, dark water, and a dark sky. He crosses one leg and looks down at his phone as he lifts a wooden mug to his mouth. Spooky text (“Ghoulish Fright” font by Brian J. Bonislawsky from DaFont.com) fills up the left side of the painting in alternating lines of light purple, dark purple, and green, reading, “Coffee Zombie Collective / with Special Guest / Rabbit Truck / October Tenth / Beeeeewaaaaare! / Tickets at / MoesAlley / DotCom.” A signature in the bottom right corner reads, “Baggs.”

The biggest news for nerds of a certain age is that the creator of Adventure Time, Pendelton Ward, will be there to participate in a live animated comedy show along with one of my favorite comedians, James Adomian!

I finally added a background to my oil pastel drawing “You Know I’m Gettin’ Silly” and fixed some other details while I was at it. I also changed the name to “Zugzwang,” which is a German phrase associated with chess that means, “compulsion to move.”

Oil-pastel drawing of a mustachioed gentleman in a purple suit taking a large step across a dark-wood stage, one leg elevated and bent as if to execute a kick. The man supports himself with a cane held in his right hand while doffing a purple hat with his left. The hat has a light-blue band that matches his tie and socks; he also wears a brown belt that matches the color of his shoes, while the white of his hair, which grows from tufts above his ears but not the top of his head, matches his shirt and gloves. The man has green skin and bright brown eyes. Below the stage in the background are rows of dark-red theater chairs, all empty.

Anyway, thanks to Chris Wisnia for making such a fantastic poster and for not taking undue offense at my error, and thanks to Eben Burgoon for commissioning the poster and helping me out! [7/7]

Comic-book convention poster in the style of Jack Kirby’s Iron Man cover from “Tales of Suspense” #39. The title features white writing against a red banner and says, “Tales of CrockerCon.” To the left of the banner is a white circle with black text that reads, “12th year!” Instead of the Comics Code Authority statement, there is a similarly shaped rectangle that reads, “Approved by the Sacramento Arts & Culture SAC Society.” Below that is a white rectangle with the letters “MC” written vertically within it, and below that a white square with the text, “Free! All ages!” Partially covering the red banner is a large gray rectangle containing yellow text that reads, “Who? Or what, melds ‘pop’ culture and high art into the most breath-taking, most sensational comics festival of all … ?” Beneath that in an all-caps font decorated with a grid of squares is the word, “CrockerTron!” in quotation marks. The eponymous robot stands beneath its name, a hulking figure that vaguely resembles the architecture of the Crocker Art Museum, hunched over slightly in a fighting pose. Behind it, Sacramento’s Tower Bridge can be seen; over CrockerTron’s left shoulder are the words, “Heroic! … Defender! … of the comic arts!” Beneath CrockerTron’s left foot is a red rectangle reading, “The Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento / September 20th, 2026 / 4pm, free for everyone!” Beneath the red rectangle is the artist’s signature, “Wisnia? (after Kirby!)” To the left of CrockerTron is a vertical stack of squares meant to be read sequentially as comic book panels and features art by artists and cartoonists associated with Sacramento, including Robert Armeson, Suzanne Adan, Sam Keith, Adrian Tomine, Kelly Jones, Chris Wisinia, Wayne Thiebaud, and Ron Lim.

… The other mystery image is in the bottom left corner of the poster & I can’t tell what it is. The only place I could find the new CrockerTron poster was on Instagram, and there are some repost icons covering up that part of the poster, making it hard to identify where the image came from. [15/15]

Small excerpt of Chris Wisnia’s 2026 CrockerTron poster that appears to reference a painting by another unknown artist. The details of the image are difficult to make out as they are obscured by a purple “repost” icon from Instagram and an image of comic-book writer Eben Burgoon teaching a comics-making class.

And check out this year’s amazing CrockerTron poster! The fantastic design is an homage of Jack Kirby and Don Heck’s cover for Tales of Suspense #39, which featured the first appearance of Iron Man. [3/15]

There’s one stop left on my 2026 Spring/Summer Mini-Tour and that’s CrockerCon, baby, my favorite con of all! [1/15]

Flyer in the style of the late 80s / early 90s featuring a pink background spattered randomly with tiny purple squares and triangles. The text is a darker purple, uses the font “Gwenchana” by Syaf Rizal, and is separated by scribbled green lines. Green circles also highlight aspects of the text, which reads, “The Jesse Baggs 2026 Spring / Summer Mini-Tour. Sunday, May 21, 5:30-8:00PM: Art Auction Preview Party; Crocker Art Museum; 216 O St, Sacramento. Saturday, Aug 8, Time TBA: ‘You Are Here’ Art Show; Old Soul at Weatherstone; 812 21st St, Sacramento. Sunday, Sep 20, 10:00am-5:00pm: CrockerCon; Crocker Art Museum; 216 O St, Sacramento.”

Here’s my other new piece, which I consider a companion to “Fecund Slop”: “Purification.” Acrylic on canvas, 16” x 20”.

Painting of a woman who appears to be on fire. She has yellow skin and blue hair; her eye sockets are either empty or in shadow, her mouth open. Her hands are pressed together in front of her chest as if in prayer. The fire is suggested by scribbles and spatters of warm-colored paint.

The You Are Here opening at Weatherstone was great fun! Gabriel Sanford did a fantastic job hanging & arranging the art, while Terry Chunn and Tara Leigh were talented and lovely co-exhibitors. I also got to meet the other half of You Are Here, Tony Allen (and his wife!) for the first time … [1/4]

Here’s the first of two new pieces debuting at Weatherstone tomorrow: “Fecund Slop;” acrylic on canvas, 14” x 18”. I’m moving away from using colored markers as they make better rough drafts than finished pieces. Working in paint and oil pastels allows for the rough draft to become the final piece.

Painting of a jaggedly drawn Mickey Mouse as seen from the shoulders up, his eyes googly, his teeth sharp, his posture slouched. His ears and the ball of his nose are dark blue and his skin peach-toned. Mickey’s outline is made up of overlapping strokes of blue and red; the entire painting is splattered with multi-colored dots and scribbles. The background is green.

This weekend I have the privilege of participating in my second art show with You Are Here … [1/8]

Website banner featuring white, all-caps, sans-serif text on a black background, the black textured with barely-perceptible, dark-gray lines of distorted wood grain. Small, all-caps text at the top of the image reads, “GABRIEL SANFORD” (on the left), “SACRAMENTO” (in the center), and “TONY ALLEN” (on the right). Large text in the middle states, “YOU ARE HERE,” with “ARE HERE” underlined. Small text on the bottom surrounded by a rectangle with rounded sides reads, “ARTIST HELPING ARTIST.”

THE STARS MY DESTINATION. As promised, here’s the color version of my grayscale reinterpretation of my colored-marker drawing of Hal Jordan! The background is from a photo I took of a dusty black table in my ceramics classroom; part of it looked like Jack Kirby’s Apokolips so I threw that in as well

Digital drawing of Green Lantern Hal Jordan floating in space against a sea of colored stars. He looks down in pleasure at his ring, which sits on his clenched fist and bursts with power. His other hand holds his lantern by the handle. In the bottom left corner the planet Apokolips can be seen, several burning industrial pits visible from space.

“Gimcrack.” Ceramics, 4” x 5”.

Open-topped, spherical ceramic piece featuring random bumps, spines, holes, and cracks. The piece is sponge-glazed in dark blue and pink but mostly yellow matte.

Jesse Baggs @jessebaggs.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

“Riven;” glazed ceramic, 2” tall by 2-3” in width. After the sea urchin (pic in reply), this is my favorite ceramic piece I’ve created so far. Still so small though!

Four photos of the same small ceramic bowl. The first two photos show the vase from the side; lines approximately one-sixteenths of an inch in width were carved vertically down the sides at various angles, intersecting randomly to create rough triangular shapes in the clay. A black glaze was applied and wiped off before firing, leaving dark streaks on the surface and within the lines. A third photo shows the vase from above; the glaze was applied to the interior but not wiped off and is revealed to be a dark metallic gold. The last photo shows the bowl from the bottom, where the lines from the sides continue underneath to form the words, “Baggs” and “May 26.”

“The Gil Kane Special.” Colored marker on paper, PhotoShop; 9" x 12”.

Colored-marker drawing of Green Lantern Hal Jordan, a DC Comics character from the Silver Age. Jordan is drawn in an exaggerated, almost grotesque fashion, looking at his power ring as he floats in space. His mouth is open and head tilted back, exposing the underside of his nose, something comic-book artist and Hal Jordan co-creator Gil Kane was known for drawing often and well.

“Nothing is Fixed In Place” by S. Baggs. Yarn glued on paper. Happy Independence Day, everyone! And don’t forget ...

Photo of a small piece of white paper on which blue and red yard is glued in an approximation of the flag of the United States of America. There is a square of pinched-together blue yard in the top left corner, and three lines of red yarn with spaces in between them so that the white of the paper can be seen. This makeshift flag sits on top of a piece of dull-brown wood. “‘The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed, we may have walked on the moon, but the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence–that work endures, my friends, and it belongs to us all.’”--Zohran Mamdani.

Third, I was excited to meet Raul Lacanilao, who was just as fun to meet in person as he is online, and whose quick draw portraits more than lived up to the hype! Special thanks to Felicia for always putting on such a great, welcoming show–I can’t wait to do it again!

This was my first time at the new location, Gold Bay Mortgage, where the owners Joseph and Cam were very generous with the space. Local art covered the walls! (My work covered most of this wall)

Photo of the June 13, 2026 Second Saturday in Natomas art show at Golden Bay Mortgage in Sacramento, California. The photo is of a wall covered with work by artist Jesse Baggs, including “Luminescence,” which depicts a young blonde woman sitting in front of a lake and hugging a large, blue-eyed husky; “I Am the Night-Night,” depicting a silly looking Batman grinning at the viewer; “How Bad I Was,” depicting a futuristic-looking woman who is nude except for a Mayan-looking headset and breathes out a cloud of smoke that takes the form of a genie’s face; and “Goomin’ Up that Hill (A Deal with Toad),” which depicts Super Mario with mushrooms falling out of his mouth.

I’ve been so busy lately that I didn’t have a chance to share my latest commission, a gig flyer!

Cartoon drawing of a red big rig driving down the highway at sunset. The cab is tightly filled by six people and a monkey, who is dressed in overalls like a toddler and sits on the lap of a man in the middle of the front seat. The other five human passengers look on with a mixture of confusion and amusement as the monkey pulls the man down for a kiss. On the front-grate of the big rig there is exaggerated text that reads, “Coffee Zombie Collective” along with a small skull.

I’ve been busy with freelance projects and accidentally took a month off from posting, but I’m back with the color version of “Stingers Up,” my ode to Sac State football!

Digital painting of a sepia-colored, anthropomorphic hornet wearing an old-fashioned American football uniform and running with a football down a football field. The hornet has four arms, two legs, and wings poking up from behind its shoulders. The insect’s face is cartoony and determined, brows lowered over its beady eyes, lips pulled back in a grin across gritted teeth. Stacked in the infield behind the insect are block letters forming the words “Sac State,” “sac” bouncing above the hornet’s stinger. Fans in the bleachers cheer on the hornet, while a blimp bearing the word “Sac” floats in the sky.

“Alternatives to Reason.” Collage; 9” x 12”.

Collage depicting an anthropomorphic horse sitting on a box in the middle of a cobblestone street. The horse has long, blonde hair, a glowing red eye, and buck teeth. It wears an orange sweater but is naked below the waist. It curls its hands below its chin and crosses one leg over the other. Emerging from behind the box is a small pink creature with buck teeth and round white eyes on each side of its head. Elegant European buildings can be seen behind both creatures, along with horse drawn carriages and men wearing top hats.

Here’s an ink version of my new piece, “Stingers Up;” Adobe Fresco. It’s based on a concept rejected by a client who since went out of business, so I decided to rework it with a focus on Sacramento State football. I’ll post the colored version next week!

Work in progress. Adobe Fresco.

Incomplete black-and-white digital drawing of an anthropomorphic insect wearing an old-fashioned American football uniform while running with a football. The insect has four arms and two legs but one hand has not yet been drawn, nor has any background. Two wings can be seen behind the insect’s shoulders. The insect’s face is cartoony and determined, brows lowered over two beady eyes, lips pulled back in a grin across gritted teeth. Instead of a nose the insect has a cone-like protuberance.

Despite everything, I was still surprised this morning when I woke up to the news. “Show Them What They Won (Iran Update).”

Digital painting of an anthropomorphic elephant walking down a city street that has been ruined by war or some other disaster. The skyscrapers in the background have collapsed, leaving only steel girders poking out of concrete frames. The sidewalks are cracked and littered with rubble, the street full of holes. Smoke and ash drift in front of an orange-glowing sky. In contrast, the elephant wears a spotless blue top hat and suit, white shirt and gloves. The brown band of his hat matches the color of his tie, shoes, and cane, which is topped with a sand-colored stone. The elephant grins and winks at the viewer, gesturing proudly at the destruction behind him. A pink, rat-like tail emerges from under the back of his suit jacket. At the top of the image in dark brown text is the word, “Iran.”

To the right and overlapping with Wolverine are other doodles in blue ballpoint pen, including another drawing of Wolverine with his claws extended, only in this one he looks more rational.

Here’s a parody painting of Wolverine’s “Bloodlust” book, called “Poo Dust.” Did you know that flushing the toilet can aerosol fecal matter? My wife did, because she knows her shit.

Digital painting of Wolverine sitting on the toilet and wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans around his ankles. He makes a pained expression, biting his lower lip as he leans over his legs. His left hand rests on his thigh while his right hand holds a phone that conveniently keeps the viewer from seeing his genitalia. On the left side of the image, vertical brown letters that glow green spell out the word, “poo;” letters in the same style on the right read, “dust.” The rest of the image is filled up with brown clouds of indeterminate origin.

I wouldn’t say I’m good at throwing yet but I turned a corner recently and started throwing larger pieces. While small, this one was well centered, but I accidentally sped up the wheel when I was taking it off and dented it. Rather than throw it away, I decided to make dents the whole aesthetic!

“Piña de Pino” by Jesse Baggs. Glazed ceramic, 3.5” wide by 2.5” tall. Four photos of the same small ceramic vase. The first photo shows the vase from the side; it is glazed brown with a series of indentations in which the glaze pooled and darkened to a near black. The second photo shows the vase from above; the neck of the vase is slightly asymmetrical and a dent can be seen in the body below. The third photo shows the vase from the side again but also slightly above. In a few indentations the glaze did not adhere, exposing circles of white clay beneath. The last photo shows the vase from the bottom. Carved into the white clay body are the words, “Baggs” and “Feb 26”.

Here are sketchbook drawings of a crew team and Buffalo Springfield. I’m not very familiar with the band, but from left to right I believe that’s Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Dewey Martin, Richie Furay, and Bruce Palmer.

Sketchbook page containing two ink drawings. Across the top is a row of eight young white men. They hold long poles and wear short shorts and shirts printed with the word “crew.” Below them and to the left is another young white man in a crew uniform who looks as if he should have been with the rest but the artist ran out of room. On the bottom right is a group of young white men with longish hair and clothes associated with the fashion of the 1960s. Below them is written the words, “Buffalo Springfield.”

Here’s a digital painting of Wolverine using the title of his 1990 graphic novel, Bloodlust. Marvel can release a book with the word “lust” in the title, but only if the object of that lust is violence!

Digital painting of Wolverine in his yellow and blue costume, snarling and crouching with his claws extended toward the viewer, eyes spirals of red and black. Vertical, shiny red letters to the left of the image read, “blood;” letters in the same style to the right read, “lust.” Framing Wolverine against the background, which is made up of blood-red splatter, is a large, serifed, uppercase “X”.
