I think there might be some subliminal messages on this comic book cover but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Self-taught artist and photographer. My life through my drawings, paintings, sketchbooks, and photographs.
Last weekend, my partner and I went to a large flea market in southwest Ohio. I brought my 35mm camera and a roll of black and white film. Here are the best photos.

Portraits of two jazz giants...Thelonious Monk and Vince Guaraldi.
A sketchbook portrait of the great Ronnie James Dio from a few years back. Reposted for no other reason than Dio is awesome.
Machine Messiah II: Ecce Machina (20 x 16 inches, India ink and ink on watercolor paper). This one is a bit older but still part of the Machine Messiah series.
Drawings of the American Transcendentalists Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson, from a few years ago.
Machine Messiah III: Emerald Redeemer 12x18 inches acrylic ink and ink on watercolor paper
Work in progress. Tentatively titled "Machine Messiah III: Emerald Redeemer."
New piece in the Planetary Folklore series, titled "Flame Gate." 12x18 inches, acrylic ink on watercolor paper.
I should probably post something, so here's the first page of a still unfinished comic called "You Don't Have To Do This." It's about a reluctant paladin who is increasingly uncomfortable with the idea of using violence to solve problems. I'll finish it someday.
Friends, join me in this celebration. For most of June and July, I was on antibiotics. I am finally off of them, and cured, and I am ready to enjoy the first beer I've had in a long time. This is a Sundowner from the excellent Eudora Brewing Co. in Kettering, Ohio.
1 of 2 A sailor wandering London during a World War II air-raid finds a newborn baby in the debris. He takes refuge with the child in an empty church, where it amazes him by levitating and speaking. A dialogue follows between the child, fresh from eternity, and the man mired in the temporal world.
Sometimes I like to refer to a meatball sub as a "seatball mub."
This comic is not related to my trauma but it is something I'm proud of, and perhaps a good way for me to reintroduce my comics to social media. This is a comic adaptation of a poem by Mervyn Peake titled "Simple, Seldom and Sad."
Found this tiny painting of Superman I did in 2009. I still kind of love it.
Here's a pic of a large piece in progress. Will tentatively be titled "Flame Gate."
The Oniscidae, better known as woodlice, are a subgroup of isopod crustaceans whose role is to remove harmful heavy metals from the earth, such as mercury, cadmium, and lead. They help cleanse the soil and groundwater, reaffirming the wisdom of nature. Do not harm them or spray pesticides!
Today, for "Because You Demanded It," I reread "All Star Superman" issue 6...the funeral of Pa Kent. Then I cried like a baby. Why do some of the best and truest stories hurt so much?
Me and @ionedammit.bsky.social are at the planetarium for a Daft Punk laser show. First time either one of us has seen anything like this in decades! We got the idea from an episode of Bob's Burgers!
A few photos from the opening of The Gun Show at Dutoit Gallery, a show that I was honored to have a piece in. It was good to get out and see people.

I feel like Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely really get what makes Superman so wondrous and, literally, awesome.
