I was pretty amazed myself, June. I thought these might have been lost in the many moves from one coast to the other over the years.

Hard to put into words how excited I am to hit this stage—this one’s been a long time coming. Here’s a sneak peek at the opening page of The Tommy Gun Dolls Volume 2.

My first comic book, created in sixth grade, Superperson, was obviously inspired by Superman/Captain Marvel(SHAZAM⚡️). I went on to create 120 issues, culminating in 1989. Film, books, comic books, and music have always influenced my illustration and comics work.

Christopher Reeve as the quintessential Superman. The impression Richard Donner’s film had on me—seeing it in the theater with my family—sparked my imagination: that a human being could truly fly, that anything was possible.

Greetings from the studio.

Work in progress—inking a page from The Tommy Gun Dolls, Vol. 2, a 1920s crime story. #graphicnovel #indiecomics #comicart #inking #noirart

Ve Neill posted this oldie but goodie I did for my pals @fangoria.bsky.social on her insta, so I thought it deserved to be over here too. (The background was done in actual eyeshadow.)

My black, gray, and white, pencil, ink, and a bit of gouache drawing of a very excited Animal from The Muppet Show. He's sitting behind his drum set, with his arms in the air, holding his drumsticks.

Here's another post in my "Gallery 1988 is closing" & "they're having a sale" thread.

Every step forward this country takes, America takes two steps back. Twice, you could’ve elected an intelligent woman with government experience—but no, you chose to vote for an imbecilic, childish thug. Imagine telling your kid(s) you voted for this piece of shit.

Inking progress—The Tommy Gun Dolls.
Disturbing news.
Liang Tong gets the message.
The police make it real.

Attention artists! 🎨

Recently, I needed photo references of a particular flower in bloom. I don't use AI for/in my art.

I discovered "Unsplash". From their website: "We do not accept content generated by AI, or where AI was involved in it's creation." (I hope it stays that way.)

I’m sure a lot of us are in the same boat.
Heating oil costs per gallon since last December in CT.

Ouch.
We (my kids and I) conserve as best we can with the thermostat, record cold temps in Feb. Hustling to make ends meet. Ugh.

Thanks for the signal post, Josh! Cheers

Look at this beauty. Dan does amazing work.

The negotiation is over.
Out in the desert, Nestor tries to buy time.
One shot breaks the silence—and suddenly everyone remembers exactly who they’re dealing with.
Thank you all for backing the series and letting me keep telling this story. More soon.

Listening to Return of the Maltese Falcon by Max Allan Collins got me inspired to draw Humphrey Bogart as Detective Sam Spade from The Maltese Falcon.
This piece is a nod to the original poster design by the Warner Bros. studio art department—artist uncredited, often attributed to Bill Gold.

There are only so many winter mornings like this—chimney smoke drifting over cold fields and woods—left before the spring warm-up begins.✍🏼☕️

Thanks, Josh!

From pencil roughs to final lines—here’s a time-lapse of me inking a panel from The Tommy Gun Dolls Vol 2 graphic novel. Brush first, then fine detail—bringing this 1920s crime world to life.

Indie comics folks—distribution question:
I have a couple of new books coming out this summer and fall. It’s been some time since I last solicited through a distributor—who’s the “new Diamond” in comics or book distribution these days? 📚

Entering the school library… 📚✨✍🏼

Thank you!
