Very stoked to show off my variant cover for HERO HIRO issue 3, from Jeff McClelland and @geckoadams.com! It’s now available to order at your local comic shop! Releases in April! Thanks to Jeff and Michael for this opportunity!

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

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

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!

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.

A Steven Soderbergh Star Wars film would have been amazing. Again, Disney fails.
Steven Soderbergh reveals that ‘THE HUNT FOR BEN SOLO’ was the first time Lucasfilm had a finished script that got rejected by Disney.

“I asked Kathy Kennedy if LFL had ever turned in a finished script for greenlight to Disney & had it rejected. She said no, this was a first.”

#scbwiArtober2025 Day 5: Eyes
My apologies if it’s a bit too freaky. I’ve been dwelling on the idea of eyes being windows to the soul. While working, it also brought to mind Junji Ito’s work, not that my stuff even compares.
