Wonder Girl Sketch

Happy mid-week, my friends! I hope you'll indulge me with one more messy SBFF sketch. Had never drawn Donna Troy before so thought I'd give her a shot. Winded down my day sketching her after some more Spidey pages (and hurricane prep) last night and splashed some quick color on it this afternoon.

For those who might be ...

Batgirl Sketch

Hey, everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I've had my nose to the Cintiq working to meet my Spidey 3 deadline and have been staying extra focused on only that (or trying to at least). Thankfully, I'm in good shape to have the whole book drawn by the end of next week and then it's just coloring, coloring, coloring....

Tradecraft Conversation

Hi all! Last week I chatted with J Alex Morrissey for his excellent Tradecraft podcast. We talked about--well we talked about a LOT of things--but mostly we talked about making art and how to find the joy in making said art. It was a really chill and fun conversation! The second thing we talked most about was probably superhe...

Supergirl Sketch

Boy! It's been a tiring week. School is back in session here in Florida and for the first time my boys are at two different ones (elementary & middle school). So it's a been a bit of a transition waking up extra early to get everyone where they need to be. Put on top of that some extra family stuff and me unfortunately be...

Tinkerbell Watercolor (and Auction)

✨ Hi friends! Quick reminder that the auction for this piece ends today, Sunday at 2pm EST (or shortly thereafter). Best of luck! ✨

Hi, all! Here's a lil' Tinkerbell for your Tuesday. It was originally intended to be a Happy Monday sketch, but I decided it might be more beneficial to watercolor it i...

Rooftop Hangout Timelapse

Happy Friday, my friends! Thought some of you might like to see a timelapse drawing of that Batgirl Supergirl illustration I posted earlier this week. Above is the quick 60 second version. If you want to see all the little nuts, bolts and loose screws of my process working on this, I uploaded the full version 2023-08-11 17:25:12 +0000 UTC View Post

Rooftop Hangout

Hi, all! And happy midweek. Hope it's been a good one for you so far.

This is a piece I've been kinda noodling away at between other drawings. I've drawn Babs and Kara a lot this year, but not as much with them together. So this is a bit of a precursor before SuperBatober starts up in a couple months.

In my imagin...

Summer Hat

Happy Friday, my friends! Here's a quick little warm-up sketch from this morning before diving back into more Spidey pages. Messing around with a softer brush this time around (just for fun).

BTW, thanks for all the kind words on that Barbie/StarTrek mash-up from earlier this week! It was kind of a silly idea, so wasn't...

Where no doll has gone before...

Hi all! This is what happens when someone (like me) gets back from finally seeing the Barbie movie while simultaneously catching up on the current season of Strange New Worlds.

Highly recommend both btw!

Diamonds & Hearts

Hi friends! Happy Friday.

This was originally going to be another random beach girl pinup but, like that Storm I shared a couple of weeks ago, fairly quickly became a simple Harley Quinn pinup instead. I feel like this kind of fan art is nondescript enough that I can get away with some of it in an eventual art book anyw...

Hi all! I know this is a lot but PLEASE READ as this effects ALL PATRONS.

Meow Monday

Hi, my friends! I'm back from a short, yet fun, trip to SDCC! It was good to see some of you there. Thanks for taking time out to check out one or both of my panels. Really loved putting some faces to some names. Now I'm happy to be back with no trips planned for over a month and ready to concentrate on getting my third and f...

Guardians of the Galaxy Lineup

Since they're the primary team-up in the third Spidey book, My publisher asked me if I ever drew a Guardians of the Galaxy lineup they could possibly share at SDCC this year. I hadn't! Until today that is. Because I needed to create a reference pic for how I'll draw them in the book.

I wanted to unify them (without losi...

SDCC Schedule

UPDATE: So I found out the library panel is a registered event. Still free, but you have to go here to register for it (the signing is open to the public and you can preorder books in advance at ...
