John Amos on Facebook: "This is a great write-up on my old friend Billy Graham. The first African American to illustrate Black Panther and Luke Cage for Marvel."
When I wrote about the great comics artist Billy Graham for the New York Times back in 2018, I was unable to reach his old friend John Amos for comment.
But I was thrilled to see that he saw the article!

This image features two different prints - 5x7 and 8x10 - of the same drawing leaning against a tile backsplash, propped up by an air plant. Not sure if this counts as #sciart, tbh, but I’ll give it a go?
This is the drawing itself - two orange-red flowers and a small bud in a small antique glass vase.

Something a little different! Just a simple #stilllife, but one I had a lot of fun with - rendering old, swimmy glass is my JAM. I am now officially selling prints of this one! Here comes the link: www.deepgreenravine.com/for-sale/p/s...

A Great Gray Owl perched on the very tip of a small spruce tree, with distant blurry birch trees in the background. The owl is large and mostly gray and white with brown streaking. It has small but intense yellow eyes. Its body is angled to the right, but its face is looking directly at the camera.
In addition to Boreal Owls, a second owl irruption is overtaking northern Minnesota and was the primary reason to travel there --- I got my lifer Great Gray Owl!
The Great Gray Owl is North America's largest owl, with a 5 foot wingspan.
