Hope y’all peeped #ForgottenIsland this weekend! It’s one of the best animated films of the year, a great film about friendship, & a wonderfully creative look into #Filipino folklore & mythology. The creature design is so good especially with Manang. #cardBOREDsketch #ink #watercolor #manananggal

Worked up a new #MardieAndMe piece of one of our favorites, #TurningRed. #inks over her #watercolors. She was around 2-3 years old when she painted all these and loved when I would draw on them. Now she’d be incredibly upset that I drew all over her work, even though I told her it’s a collaboration.

“Hey kids, it’s Buddy The Unicorn!” Whipped out the #watercolor for this big BORED piece. Imagine Stephen King wrote episodes of Barney The Dinosaur and they were all directed by David Lynch…that’s #Buddy. #cardBOREDsketch

Another big BORED piece. I loved the design of the cyclops in Nolan’s #TheOdyssey. Bill Irwin was fantastic in the role. #ink #marker #paint #cardBOREDsketch

A quick #CoyoteVsAcme #cardBOREDsketch to start the morning. The film is amazing and congrats to all involved…and a big raspberry to the one who wasn’t. #WillForte #ink

More progress on #BuddyCops Vol. 5: Lady Cops…if you haven’t seen Miss & Mrs. Cops (2019), you should seek it out. (It’s free on Roku right now.) Such a fun ride with perfect comedic timing and clever action. This zine should be ready in time for @zineclubchicago.bsky.social’s South Side Zine Fest!
