Started working on this stormy sky over the weekend. About 4-5 hours in so far. I think the bottom of the painting will be ocean with a single, small, backlit boat.

First SFX of the day...well, a combo of effects. Top is my font, Government Agent, and the bottom is Blambot Illustrator brush, Astro Disastro.

Lovely day. Chill Sunday—I’m just hanging out, about to start a new painting. Listening to some John Coltrane.

At my local comic shop yesterday and I overheard an 8 year old kid explain to his dad what the Siege Perilous is. And now I have hope for the future.

First sound effect of the day. A big metal thing being smashed into another big metal thing. This appears on a busy background, so I kept it simple and bright. (Made with my Blambot SFX brushes) #SecretProject

IMO, True Crime Campfire is the perfect true crime podcast. It’s my fav. Well written, and presented. Casual and often funny, yet suspenseful and fascinating. Katie and Whitney absolutely kill it. (See what I did there?)

Lovely day. I just delivered final files on the last chapter of Elfquest: Siege at Blue Mountain. I've been remastering the lettering on about 250 pages for over a year! Can I get a Wolfrider howl? AAAYYOOOOOOOOOAAAAH! @elfquest

Lovely day. I'm wrapping up final correx on Elfquest: Siege #8. Over a year of work re-mastering 250 pages of lettering will wrap up this week. I hope you enjoy the new editions. Listening to Tom Morello's new solo album and Rage Against the Machine in the studio this morning.

CAKE WATCH 2026: you guys… it’s one week later, and the mystery birthday cake is still there, outside of my local @Staples. Still in pretty good shape. I’ll brush off some of the ants if anyone’s interested in a piece.
