Did you dig my Hellscape Americana horror anthology comic? Do you have unruly hair that needs to be slicked down? Do you like the smell of fresh ink? Boy oh boy, do I have the (hair) product for you: INK-FERNO Ultra Luxe Pomade! Coming soon from Hellscape Supply Co. Seriously.

When things get dark, find something to laugh about. Here’s a cartoon diagram of the Cosplay-triots in Minneapolis. Get outta my brother’s city and go play GI-Bro somewhere else.

One day left in the Horror Not Hate Kickstarter campaign! Currently 114% funded at $23,135. Proceeds support pro-immigrant and pro-lgbtqia causes, plus it’s a killer horror anthology! I’m putting a few finishing touches my the art for “Murder Apes”, written by Tim Waggoner. bit.ly/HorrorNotHate

Two days left to support HORROR NOT HATE on Kickstarter. Not only is this a kickass horror anthology comic, but the proceeds go towards anti-hate causes…Plus I’ve got some work in it! This is your chance to take a stand, and read some fantastic comics too!

Working on some client stuff that I can’t share just yet. So here’s a view from the other side of the drawing desk. And a little human activity is good for the ol’ Al-Gore-Rhythm, right? Is that even a thing on BlueSky?

MLK Day reading: The Montgomery Story.
A comic book about Martin Luther King Jr. from 1957. Illustrated by the great Sy Barry—best known for The Phantom, but doing something incredibly important here.
Proof that comics have always been more than entertainment.

Make sure you go back HORROR NOT HATE on Kickstarter! It’s an anti-hate, anti-fascist horror anthology comic and it’s over half way to the goal, so let’s help them go all the way! It’s for a good cause, plus I illustrated one of the stories. www.kickstarter.com/projects/slo...

Thanks Brad! Give it a shot. It’s always worked for me. Fixing jacked-up, broken files isn’t a perfect science, but this method will get you damn close if you’re in a crunch!

Bummed I couldn’t make it, but glad to be a part of the show and create my version of the iconic and infamous AT Bat. Thanks again, Studio Fallout, Winston Smith, and Alternative Tentacles!

Color in Comics: Using Color with Purpose Last week, I was listening to Brad and Dave’s Comic Lab episode, “Color Commentary - Can You Succeed With a Black-and-White Comic?” Listen Here!

I give my two cents on color vs black and white in comics after listening to @bradguigar.com and @davekellett.bsky.social on last week’s Comic Lab episode. Killer show, guys! There’s a link to their show and that episode in the beginning of the Substack article.
