New York! I’ll be in town next week for New York Comic Con! Come bring me stuff to sign/draw on! I’ll be with Dark Horse Comics and Dogu Publishing - I can’t wait to see you there!
Usagi Yojimbo Winter Special! Check out Stan Sakai and Julie’s covers! This is a collab comic with new short stories from Zack Rosenberg and I (modern version) with Stan and Julie headlining. So excited to share more about this. You can preorder now and it hits shelves in Jan!
Currently writing and painting a story for ‘Twilight Zone’ for IDW - it has been fun to draw humans again for a change. Hah also a lot of my story decisions are rooted in light and color- so it has been a fun challenge to take one of those tools away.

We love that @jaredcullum.bsky.social has taken into account readers of his first Kodi book are now 6 years older. A Place to Call Home is longer, better and features art that's even more beautiful. @topshelfcomix.bsky.social theslingsandarrows.com/kodi-a-place...
Made it to @SPXcomics ! (I’ll be at N6) I usually spend the majority of after hours time plein air painting in the neighborhood. Here’s some older ones from years previous. Anyhow! Come see me at N6 - I’ll have original pages/plein air paintings and copies of Kodi 2!
Last week, we dropped two very different episodes about two very different comics but comics that demand attention. @jaredcullum.bsky.social on Kodi: A Place to Call Home: cbccpodcast.podbean.com/e/jared-cull... @mattbors.bsky.social on The Toxic Avenger: cbccpodcast.podbean.com/e/matt-bors-...
Check out this awesome sculpture/action figure I received in the mail today with a thoughtful letter and original art by an amazingly talented young artist - thank you so much! Always a thrill to see art based on the series. :)

WIP 3 pages in rotation at a time. Opaque layers done and ready for “ink” which I use “jet black” gouache for instead.
I’ll be at one of my favorite shows I’ve gone to since I started making comics. @SPXcomics next week! Come see me at the @topshelfcomix booth. I’ll have remarqued copies of Kodi 2 AND (limited) FREE sketched on Kodi 2 posters for anyone stopping by!
Blown away by this sculpture/action figure of Usagi Kaitō ’84 by master 3d model/sculptor Manuel Cardozo! Took some glamour shots but they don’t even show how moveable and high-quality it feels in-hand. So honored the artist gifted me, Zack and Stan a copy of the figure.
MORE GOOD STUFF! Jared's the sweetest, hardest working guy and his watercolor work is out of this world. I feel fortunate to call him a friend. Grab a copy from your local bookshop/library/wherever you get your comics: www.topshelfcomix.com/catalog/kodi...
