So moving to see artist Amy Sherald's original portrait of Breonna Taylor on display at the @whitneymuseum. The piece was commissioned by @vanityfair.com for a special issue guest edited by writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, who invited me to illustrate two pieces. Both were brilliantly colored by @sotocolor.

I spent Weds signing books at the @nmaahc /Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture "District Day" event. Such a great, diverse crowd of visitors. All books are available at the museum bookstore. @simonschuster.bsky.social @dccomicsreal.bsky.social
Shadow Cabinet number 10 March 1994. Cover by JP Leon.
Page 3-4 showing the credits for the creation of Milestones Comics. Shawn Martinbrough as the inker.
I love going through my collection and seeing badasses I have been following for years - like @smartinbrough.bsky.social , one of the best out there - and the incredible work he did as an inker in things like Shadow Cabinet back in ‘94.
I did figure out who would lead it btw! 😛
