We just had to take on $10,000 of debt so on top of my regular pet portraits I'm gonna offer some quicker versions at half price: $50 for a 9x12 or $100 for 12x16 in this style. DM me to grab a spot, I'm only going to take a handful to start with. And please share if you can!

Hey, I had the chance to draw Batman on this illustration cover for Detective Comics #1114 - I really like this run with all the ecological messiness and how it’s good material for art! - Story by the great @tomtaylormade, art by @claytonhenry_artist & @pedro_estouco_colorist 🦇🥶🌿📚

Hot dam! It's Beaver Week at the San Diego Zoo 🦫 The beaver ambassadors usually live behind the scenes, but Beaver Week means more chances to see and learn about them during special presentations all week long.

Honestly, I think the biggest reason not to use AI is because it just makes you a cooler person than the people who do use AI. Why would you ever choose to be uncool?

My August reading wrap up. I read 19 books this month because I was pushing to complete the #SummerReadingChallenge from @bpl.boston.gov & I made it with 1 day to spare. That’s also why partly why I read 7 nonfictions this month, which is a lot more than normal.

A Storygraph cover collage of all the books I read in August. It shows 19 books & includes my star rating for each.

At the studio bright and early (so early that my hair is still wet from the shower) to face down another stack of pages. Actually made decent progress yesterday, though now I'm back to coloring snow. Hopefully my lucky sneakers will help.

Once again I am begging indie bookstores, if your website has a section on "Our Story" or at any point includes the words "I," "my," or "our," *tell us who YOU are.* This is literally part of your appeal & why you are different from Amazon. It is SHOCKING how many don't do this. Also don't use AI.
