@christophcondon.bsky.social, Daniel Noah, and @davechisholmcomics.com really take you into the zeitgeist of abduction stories. You’ve got that Condon Dialogue™️, a great story, and brilliant art—in page design and color. Really enjoyed this take on abductions, and the descriptions are gorgeous

"That's the point – the smudge, the rough line, the hesitation - that's what makes my work come alive." - Jim Lee talking about why DC will never use AI storytelling. "AI doesn't dream, feel or make art, it aggregates it."

Things aren't looking super great right now, so if you have any art you need done, I'm very available. I've worked with Ahoy, IDW, Legendary, Oni, Image, and plenty of amazing indie writers. My portfolio is down below.

Dropped today! My cover for the new SMILE series from @idwpublishing.com

So excited to be a small part of this & to see the franchise take on new life from the amazing @hannahrosemay.bsky.social, Miriana Puglia, @dearbhlala.bsky.social & @heatherantos.bsky.social 🩸

Look for it FEBRUARY 2026

Cover for “SMILE: For the Camera” featuring a woman’s face on a black background. Her eyes are wide, mascara running down her cheeks. And in her hand, a pair of bloodied sewing scissors. Within their reflection, the unsettling SMILE.

My favorite part of indie comics is there is no gatekeeper.

You just write it, draw it/get someone to draw it, and you post it/sell it.

Simple enough even I can do it!

If I had a dollar for every person who didn’t know Puerto Rico is part of the U.S. I could retire.

A lot of people are going to go see the new NIN concert movie this weekend and the studio heads will learn the wrong lesson by thinking they should put Jared Leto in more things…

I used Sticker Mule once, before the Trump insanity. The hot sauce rolled out of the package, broke on my floor, and stained the carpet in my rental and the shirt I was wearing.

Friendly reminder to not use 🚫 Sticker Mule! 🚫

May I suggest StickerApp or Sticky Brand?

There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with the monthly floppy format, but mainstream comics publishers are training their readers to shy away from the monthly floppy format.
