My now nineteen year old son drew me this Superman when he was five. It's one of my favourite pieces of art.

A perfect start to Friday. Fantastic new album by Little Simz. Loving 'Lotus' so far. Find it on your favourite streaming service and give it a listen.

Sad to hear about the passing of Jackson “Butch” Guice. One of my favourite comic book artists when I was a kiddo. Between him and Michael Golden, I’ll always have fond memories of The Micronauts. (I didn’t connect with Gil Kane at the time!)

Saw this over on @wlupress.bsky.social's Facebook page. So fun to see Human/Animal by Amie Souza Reilly in print! (And thanks to @clarehitchens.bsky.social for tagging me over on FB). This was such a pleasure to work on.

Definitely getting Red Lodge vibes from this photoshoot for W Magazine by Greig Fraser, directed by Denis Villeneuve. A tribute to David Lynch, with Kyle MacLachlan and Timothy Chalamet. Both Chalamet and MacLachlan portrayed Paul Atreides in Dune films. www.wmagazine.com/culture/timo...

Have your team filter out AI images in their stock photo searches. I’m not sure it’s a 100% guarantee but a good first step.

Terry’s is popular in Canada as well. My grandmother once got us the Apple and Lemon and it did not go well. (Though I would try them now!)

Looking forward to playing with this new combo. Fuji X-Pro2 with ‘Oreo’ cookie lens. Basically a body cap with a disposable camera lens.

One of my favourite scripts for inDesign. Makes setting up baseline grid sooooo easy. Works on CS6 and up. It's free, but the developer takes PayPal donations: www.project-octopus.net/en/script-se...

So honoured to be included in the AIGA 50 Books | 50 Covers selections this year for Final Words, published by University Press Of Kentucky. It was a pleasure to work with the art by Robby Moore, adapting it to fit the parameters of a book cover.

Somehow, I’m one of the 768 accounts that Cheech Marin follows on Twitter. Even though we’ve never interacted, and I have no idea why he’s following me, I must admit to a certain loss aversion at shutting down my account there!

A couple of weeks ago I had a great time attending Fujifilm’s Create With Us day. These are some shots from a session with Jerick Collantes on Breaking.
