A drawing of a lanky robot with pigeon flying and perched on it. Drawn with ink on tan paper, colored with pops of bright purple on it's arms, head, and feet.

A closeup of the drawing, showing details of the head, and pigeons.

A closeup of the drawing, focusing on the robots arms and hands.

Another piece I put together in early December. Sold before the MICExpo, so this the first time I've shared the work. I'm pretty happy with those pigeons. Ink, marker, and gouache on toned tan paper. 5.5" x 8.5"

A color drawing of a diesel punk small mecha walker, being piloted by a Schnauzer type dog, in a brown leather jacket and jeans.

Here's some close-up shots of this new piece. I'm calling it "Dog Walker". 5.5" x 8.5" ink, marker, and gouache on toned tan paper.

Thank you so much to all the hard work put in for @massmice.bsky.social . It was such an amazing weekend. I had so much fun, met so many wonderful people and was reminded once again what an amazing comics community we have here in Boston! I feel lucky to be a part of it!!!

A diesel punk style walking mecha is standing among low bushes being piloted by an anthropomorphic schnauzer in a brown leather jacket and jeans.

New work! Squeezed in some time this week to produce a few new original pieces to bring with me to MICE this weekend. These bots are on 5.5" x 8.5" ink, marker, and gouache on toned tan paper.

I just saw it last weekend! So good!!!

One of the great joys I had working on this book was the chance to really tap into my cartoony side. All the goofy, silly, ridiculous stuff was there in the script and Perry and Penelope really let me go wild! Aside from just teaching, I think this book is really funny!

I'm counting on it!

Hey, I finished this mural! I actually finished it about 2 weeks ago, but I've been so busy I hadn't had the time to post about it. It's going to be installed sometime later this year at Level99 in Natick, MA.

Another round of marker tests. I got kinda garish with the colors, but I like 'em anyway!

I recently had the pleasure of digging back into marker drawing. I've got to get my chops back up for a project (can't talk about it yet!). Here are the first three practice drawings I did. #marker #drawing #penandink #scifi #copic #spaceship #doodle #artpractice
