TONIGHT!!!

Variant cover for Superman/Spider-Man #1 by Doc Shaner, featuring Spider-Man driving up the side of a building in the Spider-Mobile, and Superman driving the Super-Mobile, fending off attacks from their respective villains. It was a lot of work, thank you for your time.

Here's my variant cover for Superman/Spider-Man #1 without the text, featuring the vehicle that climbs walls and the other one that punches. Because I knew what to do with my one chance to draw Spider-Man.

The Ick looms over a terrified man. Lettering by Lucas Gattoni.

Do you like horror?

ORLA! is about a woman with a monster inside her, unleashed when she gets too angry or scared. It has suspense and oodles of gore, and The Ick is an instantly iconic monster design from @sallycantirino.bsky.social & @dearbhlala.bsky.social.

ORLA! is out 21st April.

The Explorateur: Issue #15 Monthly design jams, critique, theory, and inspiration for tabletop rpg designers by rpg designers. Vetted. Looted. Curated.

I updated this month's Explorateur with a few new links. It's "underperforming." Likely because I focused on The Bloggies last week. I need to start putting something "viral" in these.

I also started adding emojis to entries to signal video/audio content.
