Kyle and I are answering letters for 6 SIDEKICKS OF TRIGGER KEATON #5 today. Just a reminder: if you've got a question or thoughts you want to share in the letters page, there's one issue left in the arc after this one!
After more than a year working on it (almost exclusively, for the past several months), I'm finally finished drawing and coloring 6 SIDEKICKS OF TRIGGER KEATON. It's been a really fun project and, like any long project I undertake, I couldn't be happier to be done with it.
Working on roughs for an educational gig; reworked the left panel a few times, never happy with it, because I was scared to risk losing valuable compositional space to a big-enough reader-immersion foreground element. Panel on the right is better (still no real FG, though).
Inks for three Star Trek (original series) vehicle commissions; waiting til tomorrow to paint them because I'm gonna take my last couple work hours to watch new Macbeth (and I'm very excited!)

Today's Charles Schulz's 100th birthday. Peanuts means a lot to me and my family, but there's one factor of his work that I've thought about an awful lot, and which I wrote about in a (comics) essay for a Peanuts tribute book some years back. 1/2
My favorite prequel-era thing was when they had Obi-Wan go full Jedi KNIGHT, armor and all.
A quick thread comparing the ages of the characters in Alexander Dumas's THE THREE MUSKETEERS and the ages of the actors playing them in adaptations: 1/
Tightened pencils!
I got an ipad so that i can work not-at-the-desk sometimes (I've gotten to the point where I almost exclusively do my pencils digitally, so to do anything other than fool around I needed something screeny). First sketch on it that I'm pretty happy with (about ten sketches in):
