I am swamped as we try to get the Marvels Snapshot script done by next week, digging up money for our oven and car and bills, and trying to set up some work to jump to as soon as possible. And working out the commissions (thanks, you who know you should be thanked). So I'm sorry for not posting as much lately.

Work got hectic this week and then got even more nuts yesterday after pages, layouts and lettering dropped from all three projects I'm currently workin...

I have one Milk & Cheese commission on the board to finish, and I was going to wait until that was done before opening the commissions list up, but holy goodnight, the oven just broke and we need to get that taken care of asap and January traditionally sucks for us.
So, I'm opening the list up for basic 9" x 12" pin...

We just put the last two Milk & Cheese trading card production cels up for auction on eBay. We're keeping two cels for ourselves, along with the Action Girl chase card cel. Otherwise, they're all gone, including the other four chase card pieces..
FYI, if a Patreon backer is the high bidder on either of the cel...

These were done for the Eltingville Club collection. I originally wanted to draw them in the style of the old Jack Kirby Marvel pin-up pages, but didn't have time to work on accurate pastiches. Instead I ended up with a design for them that was inspired by a Jack Davis title page from Tales From The Crypt, w...

I'm trying to get the last of the 2019 commissions out, I got a birthday gift pin-up done last week for a friend of a friend, and finally finished this one up tonight. A request for Milk & Cheese with the family cat, LG (Little Girl, who is blind) and a pineapple. I added another pineapple for balance, some beer bottles f...

I've known for some time that the only way I could possibly get another issue of DORK done would be as part of a Patreon. I used to be able to put most of my SLG comics together around creator-owned material done for anthologies like DEADLINE, DARK HORSE PRESENTS and ONI DOUBLE FEATURE, as well as material done for zines and ...

It was just announced, so now I can share the cover of one of the secret projects we've hinted at on Twitter these past few months. Sarah and I are writing one of the eight MARVELS one-shots coming out next year, and our BEASTS OF BURDEN teammate Benjamin Dewey is illustrating it.
While the FF is featured and up f...

This has been a bad week and the coming week isn't looking too great, either. Sarah was sick, then I got sick, and I've started therapy so a lot of garbage is falling out of my head while I'm dealing with some severe depression, and the car is still not safe to drive but I have important errands I have to run and the mass tra...

I thought I'd show off the process on the drawing here.

I liked doing LP and CD art, and the bummer is I became a better artist just at the point where people stopped asking me to do anything for them. The Uncle Floyd piece for the Dr. Demento project and the cover I did for MC Frontalot are the two exceptions. Ha ha, that reminds me, I used to do art for The Exceptions. They neve...

Ron Jeremy and the Cookie Monster drawn for MAD magazine. I've had nightmares ever since drawing it.
"C" is for "creepy". That's bad enough for me.

Back in the 80's I started sending gag panel cartoons to Comics Buyers Guide, most of which featured a talking hot dog named Weenie. Weenie was a character I was drawing on store signs at the comic shop I worked at, Jim Hanley's Universe. He was a goofy little guy who made comments on comics and products and sometime...

The new Blackwood mini-series from Dark Horse Comics was solicited today, and it will have a variant cover drawn by me and colored by Sarah.
Here's some process scans I have:
Blackwood variant inks
We decided to sell seven of the nine remaining M&C trading card cels painted by Sarah, and also decided to put them on eBay. Since they're our last card specimens going back to 1995 (unless I goofed all the black and white front card art is gone), they're priced on the high side. If anyone backing the Patreon chooses to b...

This was a piece I did for fun a few years ago, to try to rekindle an interest in drawing, which I wasn't all that interested in at the time. I was pretty happy with it, and started another old Atlas creature piece ("Monstrom!"), hoping to do a small series of them over time. The second piece went off the rails (too much deta...
