I would describe myself to other original art collectors as a "Back of the Catalog Guy."

I'm not saying I'm a hero, but I just satisfied People2.0's 2026 freelancer requirements.

A fun, insightful interview. I learned something about my own process here! These kids know their stuff.

John Watkiss was the best. You know what kind of terror "Ferris Wheel" strikes in the hearts of comic book artists when we read it in a script? Watkiss is like, "Give me a few minutes. I can do it all on one loaded nib."

Oh, boy. What a fun character to draw. Matthew Allison's mighty Cankor. OAX WIP.

I'm used to voting for my pals in The Eisners, but I guess I've finally aged into the demo that votes for pals on the dang HoF ballot!

More OAX WIP. Pre-show commissions are closed, though if you see me there in person I'll likely have room for more.
