I love, on American cooking shows, when the chef is like “I love my opponent but I told him I’m not holding back. I’m gonna unleash HELL on him!!”
And by “unleash hell” he means, “cook the tastiest risotto.”

Absolutely something I never thought about until I had to take that extra step of drawing them in almost every panel of a story.
I’m saying this as someone that recently asked my co-writer if we could change a character design because I get miserable if I draw glasses for more than ten pages, so don’t take anything I post too seriously.
Amazing cover, amazing lineup. Must-buy:
Lighting and framing/composition drive our sense of beauty more than subject - focusing on that has helped me mentally invest in drawing things that might otherwise be dull and time consuming. Still always tough under comics deadlines though!
If you read Ancestor you will discover this is not a figurative statement 👀
😬 Ten year anniversary of the comic!
The original drawing vs. the final cover of the Ancestor trade Matt Sheean and I did for Image Comics.
WHEW. Tax bill this year. REALLY BAD. Does anybody want to buy any pages from:

Please hit me up, seriously. SERIOUSLY.
Great review up on Broken Frontier: "It’s a damning indictment of where we are now [...] The very best thing to have come out of the revived EC line to date. A short comics masterpiece that will hopefully be on a few awards shortlists at the end of the year." www.brokenfrontier.com/cruel-univer...
