Whom better to end book 1 with than this ol’ guy? Sad, gay, and with CLAMP-honoringly large pauldrons. I loved his Krakoa arc.

Thanks to everyone who's stopped by so far! It's always such a joy to chat about Circuit Breaker and feel the love 🖤

Day two of signing books & serving looks (sweaty, black t-shirt) #eccc2026

This and the "Keep Tahoe Goth" patches I printed are really only on my table because they always bring in delightful weirdo conversations

Gen Z recognizing my X print? The kids are alright

Aaah!!

Thank YOU!!!

Aww hell yeah, thanks, Larsen!

My booth at ECCC, with stuff on it and maybe even prices? Jury's out on that one

I did it, I set up my booth! Here at #ECCC2026 all weekend, say hi ✌️

I have so many thoughts on how to use her in a fun way for the narrative…and someday they’ll make it into a fancomic.

Risograph zine printed in fluo pink and blue featuring boom boom of the X-Men. I couldve done the overlays better on this one. Maybe I'll recolor it for a future edition

Okay, Boomer! She's young, dumb, and fun, and I've loved her since her X-Terminators days with Rictor. I have a soft spot for the X-Force Liefeld bodysuit, though

Photo of a riso printed zine page in blue and fluo pink featuring the X-Men character spiral, looking like a maniac. Also the photo is kinda bluish and I guess I didn't edit it correctly, oh well

Uhh she rules. Also what an exemplary 90s nonsense character design.

Photo of a cover for SIKTC in progress. My hand holds a Kuretake fudegokochi pen and I am detailing a bit body horror mess

He did the monster mash 🎶

Oh beautiful!

Do you ever think about where your powers came from? NOPE! A favorite since childhood. Dressed her in a bit of Bob Mackie Cher mixed with a pose study of Diana Ross Mahogany

I have finally capitulated... I guess not everyone wears only black tees haha

I’ve said this before when I’ve drawn him, but I’d love to see Prodigy take over the Xavier Institute someday...

Sorry for anyone who follows me for my own comics and crap, y'all are the best but everything is horrible and I have no capacity for beauty rn and a large backlog of X-Men drawings I never shared online

Oops, all hunks! Most of these points come from his Archangel years…this zine is in Archangel colors...but I seized a different opportunity

Photo of two models from Angus Tsui’s AW2026 collection. They’re both in head to toe black leather with red carved red leather that’s been pinned back, making it look like they’ve been vivisected. The effect is striking in a horror movie kind of way

Photo of a model from Angus Tsui’s AW2026 collection. They’re wearing an all red outfit with the highlight being a pair of thigh high boots that are 90% buckles. Vash the Stampede would absolutely rock these boots

Hellraiser chic is here and I’m honestly not mad about it

Back2back hunks~ We love you, Jimmy!! But you even dressed up and operated as your brother for a while so we just... couldn’t justify a higher Uniqueness stat.

There's so much exciting stuff happening in the comic space currently! Bhanu remains one of my all-timers. The shape-language is so singular, that it always leaves me breathless. The contrast is a lot clearer here than in the other works I've seen and lends a whole new power to those pillowy figures

PIOTR RASPUTIN - COLOSSUS

We love our chrome comrade, but he’s the less dynamic half of the Rasputin siblings and the Fastball Special. If this were a talent show, his paintings would get tens across the board!
