I really should frame this someday, but this will have to do for now 😅

Without social media, I never would have found out that my Daredevil #373 cover was given new life through the work of these notable artists; Paolo Rivera, Peach Momoko and Dustin Nguyen.

Many thanks to Jeremiah Fettinger, Dakota Alexander, and Alex Macphee whom I met through FB

Its #portfolioday!

I'm a former Marvel penciler (Daredevil #373)

This is my recent work from the last year for Blue Shack Comics, Lenovations Press, Disinter Comics, and Dr. Masque.

I just ordered a copy on eBay. I'm building a little collection! 😊

Just learned that Peach Momoko also did an homage to my DD #373 pose. I consider it an honor 🙏

Daredevil (2022) #1 Variant cover

It's quite an honor for me to have Dustin Nguyen do an homage of my pose from Daredevil #373 for this Batman / Daredevil crossover.

It's tiny, but really cool! I just found out about it today, thanks to my friend Dakota Alexander.

Plague #1 has shipped out, and my variant cover is out there in the real world!

Thank you to all who supported this Kickstarter 🙏

My professional work 2024-2025

This cover marks the official 1 year anniversary of my return to comics!

Yes! Great catch 👏

It's also an homage to Gil Kane's Jungle Action #14 cover

My first credit in a comic since 1998!

Plague #1 Virgin variant

I appreciate it Kim 🙏

I'll miss creating art professionally, but it was a privilege to do it again at all.

Thank you 🙏

Rest in peace Dave Taylor 🙏

Thanks Kim.

This is more about true comic veterans with 15 + years with the big 2.

I don't consider myself a veteran comic artist.

This is more about true comic veterans with 15 + years with the big 2

I'm leaving the industry, so I have nothing to lose.

The big 2 don't care about comic veterans.

They have no loyalty to, or gratitude for the comic veterans upon whose backs they built their success in comics and film.

Here's a parting middle finger to Marvel and DC🖕

I'll be taking a break from comics for a while.

My day job has become more stressful, and I'll be teaching martial arts a few more nights a week soon.

It was a really fun year!

My pencils have been inked by Kevin Nowlan, Bud LaRosa, and Mark McKenna.

I'm very honored to have had the privilege to work with such renowned artists 🙏

I visited my friend Christian Angeles who was tabling at Nerd Fest in Swedesboro, NJ today.

I had the pleasure of meeting Derek Allen from Konkret comics and Robert J. Sodaro, comic writer. Hoping to have the opportunity to work with them in the future 🙏

Thanks Kim! I still think he must have been high or something 😅

A vendor visited my table on Sunday, pointed at my copy of DD #373 and said, "That's a nice cover. Everyone wants that issue. It's hard to find." and I said, "Really?!" Lol 🤷‍♂️

I had the great pleasure of meeting Star Trek actor Steven Lance at the Tom's River Toy and Comic Show today!

He played the Rhaandarite Crewman in “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” @stevenlance.bsky.social

I had a great time meeting Daredevil fans at the Tom's River Toy and Comic Show. I had the most visitors and sold more prints & comics at this show than any of the other events I've done before.

Many thanks to the hosts Kevin & Margit for their hospitality and support 🙏

All setup for the Toy and Comics show in Tom's River

Finished this Nova sketch card commission for my show in Tom's River NJ this Sunday
