Ink, marker, and gouache on paper. "Planet" built by Robert Stephenson in the 1830s following the success of "Rocket". They had quite a talent for naming locomotives back then!

Got something big coming down the track! If you need me, I'll be in my engineering cap working on TRAINS! It doesn't say it well here, but I'm writing this one as well as illustrating! Wooooowoooooo!

An announcement from Publishers Marketplace: Jerel Dye's Trains, part of the Science Comics series, illustrated by Jerel Dye, to Robyn Chapman at First Second, with Tim Stout editing, in a nice deal, for publication in fall 2029, by Sally M. Kim at Andrea Brown Literary Agency.Bild

So this past March I had the pleasure of painting this Mural for Level 99. I wasn't able share the work until now because that Level 99 location is Disney Springs, Florida! I am beyond thrilled to have my work there along with over 40 pieces of art, plus the Level 99 games are the best!

It's been a while since I've posted art, and I'm hoping to remedy that over the summer. But I've been making lots, doing some experiments with mixing media, more on that soon. In the meantime, here's a new(ish) ink and marker piece. What should I call it?

A line drawing using pen and marker- Of a biker hound dog character in a leather jacked and blue jeans leaning on a diesel punk hoverbike and smoking a cigarette.

Thank you so much to all the hard work put in for @massmice.bsky.social . It was such an amazing weekend. I had so much fun, met so many wonderful people and was reminded once again what an amazing comics community we have here in Boston! I feel lucky to be a part of it!!!

New work! Squeezed in some time this week to produce a few new original pieces to bring with me to MICE this weekend. These bots are on 5.5" x 8.5" ink, marker, and gouache on toned tan paper.

We printed Jerel Dye's The Cycle with an uncoated, stucco-textured cover paper, to introduce readers to the kinetic experience of an accordion comic. Check out more of Jerel Dye's work on bsky or on tumblr @drawjereldraw. Got a crazy idea you want to make reality? Check us out!

Science Comics: Computers comes out today!!! I am so excited that this book is finally out there in the real world! It's been a long journey, and I want to give a shout out to Perry and Penelope, what a fun team! And thanks for First Second for believing in this book! Get your copy today!

One of the great joys I had working on this book was the chance to really tap into my cartoony side. All the goofy, silly, ridiculous stuff was there in the script and Perry and Penelope really let me go wild! Aside from just teaching, I think this book is really funny! Computers is out TOMORROW!!!
