Hello all!

I'll be doing inktober next month, and I'll be following amazing artist Jordi Riba's list!

Reading Jordi's list, I can already visualize so many cartoons with my characters and style, I cannot help but get excited about it!

Let's do some drawing!

Lately, I've been obsessed with the music, life, and mysterious disappearance of the great Robert Johnson... he left too soon, but he left such an enormous legacy.

Here's hoping the new generations find him and get inspired by his incredible music.

Yesterday's signing at Graham Crackers was, as always, a joy.

Thank you to all you who stopped by... it means the world to me.

I'll be doing this again a few more times at Graham Crackers and hopefully other shops... please keep your eye out for the next digital flyer!

Request I very much enjoyed drawing: The classic half-Spidey, half-Peter cartoon!

Inspired by a beautiful @skottieyoung.bsky.social figure.

Today's doodle... the 70s TV show Spidey!

To this day, one of my favorite live-action Spiderman suit versions... I just love the made-at-home feel, and the fact that he can only shoot web from one arm, not to mention the belt! Good stuff!

This morning I read a lovely comment in someone else's post:

As they're coming out of watching "Superman", one bitter person said "This is a movie for children!!", to which another one answered "Yes! it's for the men of tomorrow!"

Love.

Iron Man, Iron Man, does whatever an iron can...

Particularly proud of how cool this cartoon came out!

Today's doodle... it's clobberin' time!

Inspired by the last Fantastic Four trailer, decided to draw good ol'Ben Grimm, The Thing... I added a wee touch of Kirby. as I have always loved how he added black inks to Ben's rocky form.

Looking so forward to this movie!

Currently reading 'The Cartoonist Club' by Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud.

Loved this panel. It reminds me of a similar conversation I had with my father a long time ago.

Good read.
