I Like good comics, and know the difference. I LOVE the craft and art of sequential graphical storytelling. I mostly post/repost about comics, creating comics, and comics creators. Very ocassionaly other stuff of interest. (Will comment on ANYTHING)

Found this lovely bit of hagiography for Mrs. Chiang Kai-shek in the back of Wonder Woman #6 from 1943. Honestly wasn't expecting that. This is why originals are better than reprint collections if you can get them. Sooo much cultural context in the back matter.

I've done a few commissions with a few artists and I cannot reccomend @stazjohnson.bsky.social highly enough. One of the best engagements. Proffesional,responsive, reasonably accommodating, and the finished piece was WAY better than I'd hoped for. The whole process genuinely brought me joy.

Here are details & examples of the private commissions I now offer. DM me if you're interested or if you have any questions.

I love my job. My mileage on my career varies for many, many reasons but Redcoat is such a pleasure. Some days are better than others but then you get an issue like issue 20 and I can't draw fast enough to get the pages out of my head.

Duncan let me and Jess watch ROGUE TROOPER last night and HOLY FUCKING SHIT, GANG! It's sooooo fucking good. Hilarious, fun, hard-R violent, adapted straight from the pages of the comic. 2000AD fans are gonna lose their minds, and just try not to throw a fist in the air at the final needle drop. 🤯🤯🤯

Poster for Rogue Trooper with several characters scattered acrossed a desolate landscape, while a huge tank with two cannons hangs in the background.Rogue Trooper (a muscular blue super soldier) stares down a huge tank, holding a machine gun, standing next to a backpack (named Bagman).Stylish character poster for the film, with many characters on it ala most big budget comic books and sci fi movies, with Rogue Trooper featured prominently.A shot from the film: Rogue Trooper (19) looks into the camera while the voices of Bagman and Gunnar joke with him through their implanted chips, represented on screen as small, floating digital readouts with skulls, their numbers (26 and 20 respectively), and names.

I'm REALLY looking forward to this. One of the most gripping books so far this year. With absolutely no credit taken from Phillip's excellent writing, @marclaming.bsky.social's clean, detailed, and effortless visual storytelling puts you inside the story, in the boat, feeling the building dread.

Wow, this is quite the review of my work on Endeavour #3 "Laming’s expressive artwork sells every moment of tension, fear, and despair, helping the story maintain its impact through the final pages." Read the rest here aiptcomics.com/2026/06/10/e...

D'Orc #7, variant cover. (Uncolored.) Some of you guys wanted to see the D'Orc #7 pen and ink original cover art. Well, here it is. I actually enjoyed drawing this. Every time I do something cartoony, I always see a hint of Wally Wood or Walt Kelly in my art. *** D'Orc #7 comes out in August.
