Busy. (And yes, I have a slight pen addiction.)
Comic book cover featuring a superhero laying on a recliner lazily watch television with his cats lying around.

I’m constantly floored by the passion and camaraderie found at the SCBWI Winter Conference.
I have come to again realize how much I enjoy cheering and supporting like-minded creators and their successes, and THAT, ultimately, will always be the fulfilling factor in my publishing journey. #scbwiny26
A drawing of me watching the world burn from the window of my studio. The caption says “Go back to work, Francesco. You can watch the world burning later, when you’re done with the deadline “
Yep.
I’m gonna hang this next to my phone…
Absolutely delighted to see and hang with you again! Fills my heart up! #scbwiny26
Seeing @thejerrybennett.com again was delightful! Sweet! @scbwi.bsky.social 2026
THANK YOU.
I can’t wait!!! (I guess I should think about packing, too.) 😬
I can’t believe the NY Conference is next week! I’m so stoked! It’s such an overwhelmingly inspirational and energizing weekend. SUPREMELY excited to host the illustrator social with @debbieohi.com! #scbwiNY26
I love this.
Pen and ink drawing of a Gundam mecha vehicle.
I tell you what: as much as I love drawing mecha, Gundam is one of the tougher mecha styles to draw, though I still love the challenge of it.

I drew and illustrated a ton of stuff, SO MUCH I STILL CAN’T SHARE, and there’s much much more to come. This year was… something, but I still saw the blessings provided through it all.
Here’s to fighting the good fight in 2026.

I was privileged to read this story and see all the gorgeous lineart, and trust me, you will love the Lynchian tone of this narrative. Go back this book!
Looking forward to talking shop with the Oklahoma comic creators!
Pen and ink drawing of the Headless Horseman, designed with a steampunk flair having a coal chamber on his chest and a mechanical arm, over the town of Sleepy Hollow.
STEAMPUNK HOLLOW
Hadn’t done a proper pen and ink piece in awhile, and it’s made my mouth water for more.
I don’t really post much anymore, but I was happy how this pen and ink turned out.
For a limited time, you can get the official OCAF tees that @robertwilsoniv.bsky.social and I designed!
A Steven Soderbergh Star Wars film would have been amazing. Again, Disney fails.
Ink and Draw is now rescheduled for October 26th, 3-5pm @literatipress.bsky.social in the Paseo Arts District. @jeocreations.bsky.social(HIRO DOGGIE SPACE CORGI) will offer tips/feedback on comic art portfolios. Now’s your chance to get solid pro comics mentoring!
Skirvin rules.
