Even adventurers get existential crises. From my comic Wizard Weekend

Around the same time, I also picked up Hellboy: the Chained Coffin & Others. This too had a profound impact on me.

I was already deeply in love with comics and TMNT, but buying this when I was in middle school was life changing. Somehow the lcs was selling it for very cheap just because the dust jacket was damaged (the book itself is in great condition to this day). One of my most prized possessions

Pyromancers against tyranny 🔥🔥🔥

(one of) mine: hands

Frankly I don’t think there’s enough global strategy currently in place for the possibility of ‘what if the Mongols rise again?’

Last weekend at Lone Star Zine Fest, a teenager saw my book Pair of Knaves and said "oh I call me dad a knave all the time!" and I thought that was pretty great.
Anyway, I'm making some new prints ⚔️

And a few extras just for fun!

Looks like it's #portfolioday so here are a few comic pages and one commission piece. I am currently open for commissions btw 👀

Big shouts to the person who gave me that tiny duck because they liked Zethia and the duck matched Zethia's hair color

Check out my little haul from Lone Star Zine Fest this year. I'm beyond exhausted, and as per default I failed to take photos during. I had a great time tabling though, so thanks to everyone who made it a wild success!

Lone Star Zine Fest 2025 - Dungeons & Possums This weekend, 11-12 October 2025, Austin's lovely Blue Genie Art Bazaar hosted the Lone Star Zine Fest and it was a blast that beat my expectations by a mile. Lone Star Zine Fest (hereafter LSZF or so...

I now have a stamp of the wizard from Wizard Weekend, and I feel such an urge to be a menace with it

After 20+ years of photoshop, I tried to switch to clip studio and have been struggling too. It feels very "can't teach an old dog new tricks" for me

Another favorite panel from Pair of Knaves

And if the lore I've heard about duckfolks in runequest and dragonbane are to be believed, we DO NOT want them getting mad at us or we're also in danger

Yeah, he comes back angrier than ever before, meaning stronger than ever before, and absolutely ruins the crew who sent him to space.

Right after his space gladiator phase, hulk comes back to earth and beats everyone's ass in world war hulk.

And the ducks will do the same, beware.

You ever get stuck hyperfocusing a cover design concept for a comic you have planned but won't actually be making until next year, then three hours later you have a 75% done mockup of that cover?

I definitely didn't just do that, I don't know what you're talking about.

If you're in the greater Austin area, but especially in Pflugerville, Round Rock, or any other part of the northside, come see me tomorrow at Library Con!

Cosmic Lion Productions Comics of every kind for every mind!

Since Diamond has fallen apart and left us out to dry, I'd humbly ask that as a favor to me, go get em directly from the source:

While you're there, you can pick up issue 2 of Zethia, plus plenty of other cool books.
(2/2)

Like so many others, my publisher and I got screwed over by Diamond Distribution. The first issue of my series Zethia Space Witch, as well as the first issue of comix anthology magazine I edit Lion Cosmique, were both supposed to hit LCS stands through Diamond today. (1/2)

If you see this, post a robot

I'll have a copy of issue 1 with your name on it at CASA! Thanks dude!

Zethia Space Witch. Leaps downward. Her cape giant behind her. Written created and drawn by Anton Blake

I don't have #1 (I think) but it was easy to jump right into Zethia Space Witch #2. Clever and cute and concludes the story nicely. Really like the mixed media art that's used in a few select panels
