Starting the weekend by inking up A Last Goodbye flashback page. Got them heavy shadows for that heavy domestic drama 🎭

Today’s a day to celebrate terrifying tropes, and my WAKING LIFE comic plays a lot with the nature of dreams… and by association, nightmares.

After all— aren’t they the safest way to work out our worries? Or— are they are *really* a torment we can’t easily escape?

If you’re interested in a story about the nature of dreams and fears run amok— one that takes classic comics tropes and investigates then through a character-driven lens— then you must check out @comickerdigital’s WAKING LIFE pre-order campaign, now on Kickstarter. See the link below for more!

WAKING LIFE comes to Kickstarter TOMORROW. A modern-day sequel to Little Nemo in Slumberland, this graphic novel set is on the way from @comickerdigital to fire up your imagination. Mark those calendars; I’m looking forward to sharing this with you all!

One reason to check out my WAKING LIFE graphic novels? Big impact pages like these— I tried to make them count. (I thought this one especially did a good job evoking the classic Winsor McCay feel from Little Nemo— just with more monsters!)

Volumes one and two are coming to Kickstarter next week from @comickerdigital. Excited to share this all-ages adventure tale with you in a fresh way!

Win: drew the time-traveling X-Man known as Cable on my legal pad!

Loss: didn’t give him enough pouches; my bad y’all

Managed to get in a few sketch warm-ups over the past few days. Going with the recognizable (1), as well as an original (2)!

Folks. Fate has conspired in such a way that I have stories in TWO different anthologies that are currently funding on @kickstarter.

CRITICAL MASS Vol. 1 features my short thriller about a man whose past catches up with him in an unexpected way-- just when he thinks he's free from its consequences. It's Rear Window meets Promising Young Woman, and it's a big swing for me.

Meanwhile, CTHULHU INVADES NEVERLAND re-teams me with writer Stonie Williams for an Eldritch Mermaid story-- one that's become a cautionary tale for the Jolly Roger's crew!

Both stories are suspenseful, thrilling, and maybe even a little funny— and they are both part of wonderful anthologies with even more stories to love. I encourage you to check them out on Kickstarter – links below – and get ready to enjoy some new reads!

Coloring up some spooky pages this week 🕷️ 😱

[benhumeniuk]

We’ve got Turtles on the brain in my house, so here’s a Donnie sketch. (I couldn’t bring myself to do glasses or goggles; I’m too stuck in the old school!)

Here’s hoping that Mutant Mayhem is as awesome as the trailers suggest!

Trying a new approach-- pencils-only-- to a story idea. Let's see if this one plays...

Anyone up for a coloring critique? 🤞

I’m getting ready to wrap this Norse horror story, and I’m trying to decide if an electric palette works for or against the vibe. Comments welcome!

[benhumeniuk]

I’m not horsing around with my art right now, y’all

(Did you like that joke? If not, say neigh 🐴)
