I sincerely hope this art posting serves, in some small way, as an antidote to today’s Black Friday marketing mind rape going on all across the net.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This week’s post about the Kirby Krackle got me a ton of pingbacks and a big boost in traffic. If you’re new to this site, it’s a visual blog featuring my work and spanning my whole lifetime. I’ve been posting regularly for about three years now so there is plenty to see. Dig in!

And just to stay in the mood, here’s a colorized version of an abstract strip I did a while back, riffing on the Kirby Krackle. I’ll be running a new page every day all week.

A penciled panel from the educational project I’m working on.

A panel from a “comics in schools” pilot program I’m working on right now.

Here’s a photocopy of a penciled and lettered splash from the 1994 Mirage mini-series “North By Downeast” starring everyone’s favorite fuck-up vigilante, Casey Jones. Kevin Eastman co-plotted and inked me on this wacky saga. I’ve just added it to the King Hell Bargain Basement so if you head down there you can pick up both issues, signed. I’ve only got a handful of sets and I doubt this story will ever be reprinted so get ‘em while the gittin’ is good, as they say.

My fill-in issue of Unknown Soldier #21 is being released this week. Alex Dueben interviews me about it over on Comic Book Resources. Lots of sample script pages, pencils, inks and colors. And IGN has a nice review too.

Pencils from ARMY@LOVE: ART OF WAR #4. Magoon freaks out.

Here are the inks (with some changes) to the penciled page of UNKNOWN SOLDIER #21 I ran a couple days ago. To see more and read a few comments of mine about working on this particular issue, bop over to the DC site.

I’ve just turned in the completed pencils and inks for an issue of Unknown Soldier. It’s a pretty cool story that follows a single AK47 machine gun from its manufacture in Eastern Europe in the seventies to Africa, then through the hands of its various owners to modern times. DC is putting up a three page sample of pencils and the same pages inked with a short thing I wrote about working on it.

Above are the pencils to Page 1.
