Due to an insane August schedule, I'm going to get #109Kirbys rolling a little early. I'll do 9 commissions of Kirby characters to commemorate the 109th birthday of The King and raise money for charity. I'll be taking requests with bids via DM for the next few weeks. Samples of past campaigns below.

With THE FOLK OF DOONEY HOLLOW #1 on FOC today, I wanted to take a moment and share the genesis of my cover, from thumbnail all the way through to final dress. If you love my work and Folk Horror tales, make your way to your local comic shop, tell them you love them, and reserve you a copy!

When a campaign official asked me to donate this drawing I did to commemorate Obama's speaking engagement in my small town being cancelled by an honest-to-goodness tornado, I thought it was going into the archives at the Obama library. Baby, it's on display!

A circa 2007 cartoon of Barack Obama barnstorming Iowa in the form of a human tornado by yours truly.

You don't have to draw like a master to make it in comics, but you do have to draw in an engaging manner. No one can tell you how to get there, but a good teacher will know the signs.

New original art tiers have been added to my #Kickstarter for Start Your Engines! I added a few more items including this set of pencils and inks from #gijoe ARAH Beachhead! Pencils by @philhester.bsky.social and inks by me! Link in replies!

The final issue comes out Wednesday. It's been many years in the making, from convincing the filmmakers it could be a comic, to passing through the hands of multiple editors, and through painstaking production. Every drop of sweat paid off this weekend when a new dad told me it brought him to tears.

The cover for A Quiet Place: Storm Warning #5 featuring estranged siblings rigging a bridge for demolition while a monstrous creature approaches from the foreground. Art by Ryan Kelly & Lee Loughridge, who also handle the interiors.
