Double good mail day! Just received my certificate from the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles’ Illustration West 64 competition. Huge thanks to show chair Scott Bakal & the judges panel for the recognition.
Just got my copy of American Illustration 44 annual in the mail! I’m honored to have work from my comic, Hellscape Americana included in this year’s book. Huge thanks to the judges for the recognition, and to be featured alongside so many incredible illustrators is something I don’t take lightly.

Old Higgins Whiskey…Tops for taste! Cool matchbook that my friend Rich sent me a picture of. I’m thinking from the 1940’s based on my research? Contrary to popular belief, I am not the heir to the Old Higgins Whiskey empire. They share a solid name though…I need to find a bottle.
Excited to share that I’ve got work featured in the 3x3 Annual No. 22 in the Comics/Sequential category The piece comes from my latest comic, Hellscape Americana, a project that’s been a wild ride from concept to print Always an honor to be included alongside so many great artists and storytellers

Did you dig my Hellscape Americana horror anthology comic? Do you have unruly hair that needs to be slicked down? Do you like the smell of fresh ink? Boy oh boy, do I have the (hair) product for you: INK-FERNO Ultra Luxe Pomade! Coming soon from Hellscape Supply Co. Seriously.

When things get dark, find something to laugh about. Here’s a cartoon diagram of the Cosplay-triots in Minneapolis. Get outta my brother’s city and go play GI-Bro somewhere else.
One day left in the Horror Not Hate Kickstarter campaign! Currently 114% funded at $23,135. Proceeds support pro-immigrant and pro-lgbtqia causes, plus it’s a killer horror anthology! I’m putting a few finishing touches my the art for “Murder Apes”, written by Tim Waggoner. bit.ly/HorrorNotHate
Two days left to support HORROR NOT HATE on Kickstarter. Not only is this a kickass horror anthology comic, but the proceeds go towards anti-hate causes…Plus I’ve got some work in it! This is your chance to take a stand, and read some fantastic comics too! www.kickstarter.com/projects/slo...
Working on some client stuff that I can’t share just yet. So here’s a view from the other side of the drawing desk. And a little human activity is good for the ol’ Al-Gore-Rhythm, right? Is that even a thing on BlueSky?
MLK Day reading: The Montgomery Story. A comic book about Martin Luther King Jr. from 1957. Illustrated by the great Sy Barry—best known for The Phantom, but doing something incredibly important here. Proof that comics have always been more than entertainment.
Make sure you go back HORROR NOT HATE on Kickstarter! It’s an anti-hate, anti-fascist horror anthology comic and it’s over half way to the goal, so let’s help them go all the way! It’s for a good cause, plus I illustrated one of the stories. www.kickstarter.com/projects/slo...
Got my Bat-A-Log in the mail today! My version of the Alternative Tentacles bat is in good company…So many killer artists in this book. Thanks to Studio Fallout, Chick Lewis, and Winston Smith for having me!🦇🦑🖤
