Besides drawing & painting a lot of male figures right now, I’m also trying new creative practices. I took a workshop on bookbinding at Partners in Print last week, and here the book and clamshell case I made. The class inspired me with some projects ideas I will start in the new year.

The Paramount-Warner Bros. merger could cost Los Angeles County nearly 4,500 film and TV jobs over the next three years. It could also result in $2.78 BILLION in lost economic value. This merger is only good for the billionaire owners and their shareholders — not workers.

This Pride Month, we’re celebrating the beauty of diversity above and below the surface. Environmental advocacy and the LGBTQ+ rights movement share a common purpose: protecting vulnerable communities, caring for the spaces we all call home, and creating a world where we all can flourish.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is targeting LGBTQ stories. They are trying to control what you see on television. This government overreach is dangerous to the existence of an independent and free media. Take action: glaad.org/fcc

Experiment in gouache and underpainting. Stained my watercolor paper with coffee and stamp ink using Lego letterpress. Made a sketch and then traced it onto the paper. Started with a wash of thin gouache and built up with thicker paints from there. #gayartist #gouache #artprocess #malefiguredrawing

This is like staring into a kaleidoscopic magic eye puzzle but instead of falling down or even up the stairs you simply tumble into an abstract dimension like a Doctor Who episode where the stair pattern itself is the villain and David Tennant just says “I’m so sorry” while looking at you forlornly.

As DC’s publisher, Jim now has the opportunity to do the funniest thing: adjust the expectations of freelancers so no one ever has to worry about kicking into “5th gear” and damaging their health for unrealistic publishing schedules.
