“WE ARE”. Looks like my cover to POWER RANGERS/VR TROOPERS 2025 FCBD Special is doing the rounds.

For those of you who’ve missed my MMPR covers… stick around. Might be some cool stuff around the corner.

I had the extreme pleasure to do a cover for the legendary @fabiannicieza.bsky.social and Emilio Laiso’s GODZILLA vs X-MEN, set in one of the most iconic X-men eras.

This is exactly the kinda insanity I love to draw… but I’m even more excited to read it. In stores May 2025.

40 years ago my Dad came home from work with the OG TRANSFORMERS #1 for me to read (two weeks before the cartoon aired) and I was HOOKED.

Seeing my name and art on the cover of a TRANSFORMERS #1 as an adult is still one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced.

This variant is In stores 12/18.

If this is the way to do it, maybe *I* could be a great writer!

I love that @pattonoswalt.bsky.social digs our CAPTAIN AMERICA run… the real question is what cover did he buy..?

(To be honest, this might be my favorite I’ve done on this run)

Another piece of fan art turned cover that I did after a great convo with @iamhandaxe.bsky.social about a joke Alpha Flight pitch.

I even did it traditionally for fun. Snowbird, 2022.

I saw a post today about making sure to draw for yourself… I’ve only been able to do that twice in the last year and both illustrations ended up being extremely popular.

Here’s one:

X-men 97 fan art that ended up a variant.

Stray thought: I need to go back to painting traditionally.

I really REALLY miss it.
