Finished color version with trade dress, so you can compare it with the pencil art above...

Sketches for Marvel & Lucasfilm...

My Star Wars Episode 3 20th anniversary variant cover series starts today with this piece on Marvel's The High Republic – The Finale #1. While drawing Christopher Lee was fun, I hated this one in its pencil form (pictured). Then colorist Neeraj Menon absolutely saved it. One of my faves now...

A black and white cat lying on a red striped blanket and looking at the camera.

Daily cat photo: sweet little Jim-Jim...

Daily cat photo: it's too bright in here for sleepy Mr. William...

Daily cat photo: Ms. Furbs and I have watched every single one of Jeff Tweedy(of Wilco)'s livestream shows together since deep in the pandemic shutdown days. Here we are again last week, keeping the uninterrupted streak going. Don't know why but she always joins me and even watches along...

Daily cat photo: Jimmy is hunting rabbits…

A black and white kitten lying in grass, as seen through a chain link fence.

A black and white kitten lying in grass against some decorative concrete "stones."

Daily cat photo: today is Furbs Day! On this day in 2018 we brought this little stray kitten inside to live with us after she'd been hanging around our yard for a while. Once she worked up the courage to approach us that afternoon (pictured), she became a member of our little family by that evening.

Daily cat photo: Willy-boy!

A black and white cat and a brown tabby cat lying up against a person's legs on a blue blanket.

Daily cat photo: Ms. Furbs and her "little" brother, Willy, sharing me...

Sketches submitted to Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm for approval...

My final Force Awakens 10th anniversary variant cover was released today on Marvel's Star Wars #3. Coming soon: the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith variant series! Pencil art shown w/sketches in the comments...

Black and white tuxedo cat lying on a red Catassaurus Cat Cave.

Daily cat photo: here's Jimmy on his Comfy Cat Cave, which is kind of a big fuzzy donut that cats can play on, sleep or hide in or even scratch with their claws. Our cats love them!

A brown, tan and white tabby cat lying on/snuggling up to a person's lap with that person's arm around him.

Daily cat photo: I think Willy is happy I'm home from my New Orleans trip...

Sketches submitted to Marvel and Lucasfilm for approval. In this case, I really wish they had picked sketch #1 instead. The one they picked kinda looks like many other lightsaber battles I've already drawn...

The 9th of my Force Awakens 10th anniversary variant covers was released today. this one is on Marvel's Star Wars: Legacy of Vader #6. One more to go. Sketches in the comments...

A brown tabby cat and a black and white cat sleeping intertwined on a blanket together.

I'll be a guest at GalaxyCon New Orleans this weekend. I'll be signing books, sketching and selling original artwork all three days of the show. Full details at the following link: galaxycon.com/pages/galaxy...

Daily cat photo: too busy to post lately, but here's cute little Furbs...

A close up of a brown tabby cat with yellow eyes.

Daily cat photo: handsome Mr. William...

Black and white cat sleeping on a desk.

Daily cat photo: sleepy Jim...

Two cats on a desk looking out a window.

Daily cat photo: my tuxedo cats, Furbs & Jimmy, watching a rabbit in the yard (left of Jimmy's head). I think Jimmy is kinda squinting because he knows he's risking some slaps from Furbs for getting too close. Though she's half his size, Furbs can definitely smack her "little" brother down..

Daily cat photo: snuggling with Ms.Furbs...

So many sketches were done and sent to Marvel and Lucasfilm. There was one more set, bringing the total to 12l, but I didn't save a copy of the 3rd set, apparently...

My 8th Force Awakens 10th anniversary variant cover is out today and can be found on Marvel's Star Wars: Legacy of Vader #5. The death of Han Solo was originally slated for this one, but after many sketches it just wasn't working and we switched to something with Poe Dameron. I'm relieved, honestly.
