I’ve always thought about doing a comic strip so I’m going try it out from time to time. Not committing to anything regular yet but exploring the format. This is a rough take on one. I’ll try to get a bit better framing and lettering when I do it for real. But today this gag presented itself and I wanted to dive in. #makingcomics #ink #comicstrip #stupidfreshmess

After an entire lifetime of waiting and false-starts, I finally get to see Wonder Woman star in her own, big budget Hollywood film. I’m so happy and excited for this movie that I HAD to do some fanart for it to tide me over until tonight. I streamed the process on my Twitch, if you’re interested in seeing how it came together. Enjoy!

♪I tried to keep myself busy. Ran around in circles almost made myself dizzy. ♪ Seat At The Table was one of my top 5 albums last year and Cranes, especially, resonated very heavily. The whole album is super soulful and you can feel every bit of care that went into crafting it as you listen to it.

I started this series of portraits as a bit of a self-care project. The US election in November put me in a pretty dark place and while I knew that art could serve as therapy, I also wanted to resist spending any of my time or talent on our new President or administration. Instead, I chose to focus on the people doing good work. The people that inspire me and give me hope. On Sunday, the French people took a stand against the darkness, and filled me with hope for the future. If I could draw them all, I would. Since I can't--here's the symbol of their epic stand: Emmanuel Macron. I named this series #OnlyLight, inspired by MLK's quote. I hope my portraits and my art inspire you to seel out the light in the world. It's the only way to beat back the darkness.

This morning’s warmup was a quick study of Daisy Ridley as Rey to celebrate the occasion. Happy Star Wars Day, y’all!

I drew oodles of psychedelic drugs for an article in the current issue of Men’s Health, about how scientists are testing out the use of these substances as possible treatments for anxiety and depression.
Much gratitude to my art director for this assignment, Robert Dominguez!

Thank you @staff for the Radar share and welcome, new peeps. Here is round 2 of my explorations into this new technique I’ve been trying out. I’m really excited to continue to develop it and refine it. I’m also putting together a little process video for my next portrait in this series, which is my most ambitious yet. I’ll share it as soon as it’s done.
