My new pen & ink piece is called "Meet the Devil." I had Marc Hempel film me inking this one at the Baltimore Comic Con. When I have time I will edit the footage and you can watch me doing some of the work.

My 27th Baltimore Comic Con was one of the best! Thanks to Marc and Shelly Nathan, Randy, Brad, Matt, Chris and every one of the amazing BCC people who pull off this family reunion every year! I tried to get some inking done, but it was just too busy to finish!

Weeks after 9/11, artists of Insight Studios; Marc Hempel, John Staton, Harry Roland, Gray Morrow & me, collaborated with Neil Kleid, who was all too close to the Towers. This story was published as a benefit. The original art now resides with the Library of Congress in their permanent collection.

Taking advantage of a delay in other assignments, I present my new Frankenstein Mobster pen & ink illustration.

Mark Wheatley @markwheatley.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Our girls, Autumn & Amber, are enjoying the summer. Autumn continues to "fit" into her "too-small-box" as she has since she was a kitten. And Amber loves time in a crinkly plastic bag. Simple pleasures!

My Saturday Sketch is several steps in the creation of a new cover for the Panthan's Journal. This features the start of a new novel from my colaborator on several previous projects for TV, Tom Simmons. Have a wild weekend!

As has become a PulpFest tradition, I came up with a few new cover ideas for the Panthans Journal, working each morning in the dealers room. But this one I had almost finished in the studio before the show. Final touches done this week.

Just 10 backers so far, out of all my followers and everybody I know. As a dad I'm doing my best to get more. Even a dollar helps. It's all about the algorithms and it getting interest. I know money is tight, but every little bit helps. Please, and thank you! 🙏❤️

Sarah Byam, master storyteller, and I are working on a new project together. Almost 30 years ago we worked together on a TV series called Troll Tales. Before that, she was briefly my agent. This is my pen & ink character shot of our new hero.

My Saturday Sketch is a page of doodles from a morning warm-up this past week. Including a splatter of stars for the 4th! (I practice free-handing stars as a way to focus and hone accuracy.) Have a safe and rewarding weekend!

I don't accept many commissions. But this one was a reward for help in recovering a full issue of our stolen Jonny Quest art. Marc Hempel and I don't take that kind of help for granted!
