“But now, you shall witness… it’s dismemberment.” That scene gets me, and I can’t wait to watch it in 4K this weekend! Again, honoring @danielwarrenart.bsky.social’s classic TF #1 cover. @skybound.bsky.social @robertkirkman.bsky.social

@okcomicarts.bsky.social OCAF 2026 was a whirlwind celebration of comics and those awesome creators makin’ em. HUGE MASSIVE SHOUT to all involved! As Programming Director, joy overflows from the success of it all. Now excuse me while I enter the Odinsleep. #OCAF2026 #oklahoma #comics

Man, drawing Cybertron was a chore, but I loved how it all turned out in the background as Galvatron attempts to threaten Unicron. “You underestimate me, Galvatron.” Boy, did he. Honoring Daniel Warren Johnson’s now-classic issue one cover. #art #comicart #transformers #galvatron #transformersart

Showing off all my Star Trek themed portraits for Star Trek Day’s end. I’ve grown up on Star Trek. Best memory: tricking my Mom to taking us to Wrath of Khan on opening weekend, when she said she would NOT take us on opening weekend. #startrek #startrekart #comicart #digitalart #art

Getting amped for the Transformers The Movie 40th anniversary! Love that a fave Monty Python actor (Eric Idle) voiced such a dynamic Transformer, the leader of the Junkions, Wreck-Gar. Two more in the works leading up to opening day! #art #comicart #transformers #wreckgar #transformersthemovie

It feels right to post a piece I made honoring the 86 movie, where Optimus Prime died (Hasbro didn’t realize they were screwing up our childhoods.) Rest in peace, Peter Cullen. The 40th anniversary screening of Transformers The Movie will hit harder than ever now. #transformers #hotrod #comicart

I worked up two ideas for the @okcomicarts.bsky.social festival trading card set, which sold gangbusters last year, so they are doing it again. Which would you want to see on a trading card? #comicart #mecha #transformers #shredhead #tradingcard

Just a smidgen of the illustration work I’ve been privileged to create for the many children’s magazines distributed by The School Magazine based in Australia. I’ve absolutely loved the challenge of illustrating so many fascinating and varied subjects!

Playing with a Pilot Parallel pen after seeing Jesse Lonergan do some really cool stuff with his. I love all the happy accidents I’m getting. It’s a really different process to let the pen create some textures I don’t usually create with traditional media. #art #comicart #primal #ink #parallelpen

Was in need to enjoy a quick sketch for myself, and apparently inspired a bit of Big Hero 6 too, before I head off to the Paseo Arts and Creativity Center from 12-6 to volunteer and serve my arts community! Come see all their galleries and studios there today! #comicart #kidlitart #robot

It’s always a fun exercise to see how many free sketches I can crank out during #freecomicbookday at New World Comics in OKC. I drew seventeen in three hours. It’s not my record, but it’s respectable. :) (Oh and my stained hand afterwards.)

A series of nine sketches surrounding a photo of Jerry Bennett with a marker stained side of his hand.

Another of the Star Trek splatter commissions! What’s your favorite episode, and why is it “Subspace Rhapsody?” (Because it was fantastic, yes, I agree.) #startrek #strangenewworlds #ussenterprise #digitalart #procreate

Last minute, I had to miss the @scbwi.bsky.social OK/AR Spring Conference for the first time ever, but I created this for the postcard illustration contest, which used the prompt ‘Route 66.’ #kidlitart #route66 #bigwheel #comicart #procreate

I’m constantly floored by the passion and camaraderie found at the SCBWI Winter Conference. I have come to again realize how much I enjoy cheering and supporting like-minded creators and their successes, and THAT, ultimately, will always be the fulfilling factor in my publishing journey. #scbwiny26

I tell you what: as much as I love drawing mecha, Gundam is one of the tougher mecha styles to draw, though I still love the challenge of it. #gundam #mecha #comicart #penandink

I drew and illustrated a ton of stuff, SO MUCH I STILL CAN’T SHARE, and there’s much much more to come. This year was… something, but I still saw the blessings provided through it all. Here’s to fighting the good fight in 2026.

STEAMPUNK HOLLOW Hadn’t done a proper pen and ink piece in awhile, and it’s made my mouth water for more. I don’t really post much anymore, but I was happy how this pen and ink turned out.

#scbwiArtober2025 Day 5: Eyes My apologies if it’s a bit too freaky. I’ve been dwelling on the idea of eyes being windows to the soul. While working, it also brought to mind Junji Ito’s work, not that my stuff even compares. #art #artober #inktober #penandink #ink #digital #comicart #procreate
