Yo, dear Patrons! I don’t think I posted this before, actually I can’t remember. A lot of stuff from the past few years blends together, but did you know that CGR Infinity was intended to be a series of videos and a simultaneous print book?
I’m going through a massive hard drive cleanup and archive and forgot that...

Hello everyone, I hope you are staying safe and doing well. I’ll drop a few colorful drawings on you and attempt to brighten your day with my newest collection of work.
For the past few months, I’ve been primarily doing cover design and commercial art rather than my traditional black and white sci-fi stuff. Though s...

The end of days may be upon us, and everything sucks, and everyone is horrible, and people are idiots, but that doesn't mean we can't laugh about it!

Hey Patrons, how goes it!? Hopefully good. Remember to watch The Road Warrior and Mad Max a few times, and you'll be all prepared for our terrible future.
In the meantime, enjoy some more early access Old Timey Pictures with Silly Captions! 2020-07-06 21:13:30 +0000 UTC View Post
Hola patrons! Mark is here, Mark is still alive (or living in a virtual fantasy...aka hellish dystopian nightmare)

Dear Patrons, download the complete 200+ page Old Timey Pictures with Silly Captions Volume 1 right now! Enjoy with some absinthe and a talking horse. FYI, this version has some compression so that it fits within Patreon's file size limit, the real book does not. Also, it is NOT child appropriate. For anyone,...

Hello from Space! (just kidding, I'm on Earth but I WISH I was in space.)
Here's several pages of art in progress for Robot Kitten Factory issue 2, which will hopefully be complete this month. This is a very fun project because I can really experiment with wild artwork using Procreate in a classic manga style.

Stuck in quarantine for a millennia, Mark goes INSANE-er than he already is. Actually, he stays more or less the same.
How about a sweet new EXTENDED CUT 80s Comics PRO review of Shogun Warriors #7? Crack a beer and relax, this one is good.
Here's a look at two of my projects in development, Robot Kitten Factory #2 and Magnum Skywolf #2, both going through various completion stages. Check out the sketch/storyboard vs. finished artwork when done!

How about some early-access 80s Comics AND a special 80s Comics PRO for Patrons. I am looking into adding a members-only section to the website for these as well (since a lot of people hate Patreon.) That may take a week or so though. In the meantime, enjoy!

The world is in chaos, but a helicopter from the 1980s can save the future.
So close to being done.
Everyone stay safe and be well. As it turns after, after five years of working on Magnum Skywolf on and off, this is the time that we need it most.

This is pretty much how I feel every single day. Also I think it's funny (the comic, not reality), and you get it early.

I must admit that I've been enjoying the creation of The Horrible Octopus. The character is a lot of fun to draw and I love working with a 19th century style that is finding its way into all of my artwork. The rough paper, blotted ink, and old-fashioned lines work well on the octopus and Edit-Station 1 (of co...
