The wait is over! THE MIGHTY ONION is available now: amazon.com/Mighty-Onion/dp/0… Many thanks to those of you who choose to support me by getting it! 🙏☺️

A rough draft page of MIKI FALLS compared to the final version of that same page. It took me a while to figure out how I wanted Miki to look, so a lot of the early pages had to be reworked substantially for the finished books.

Interesting to compare the rough version of this panel from LOST IN TAIWAN to the published version. I wanted to show more of the vegetable crates, so I moved things around to make more space for that element of the composition.

An illustration I did for my book, MANGA ART, along with the Norman Rockwell painting that inspired it. In both pieces, the "real world" colors are kept very close to gray, so as to make the painting's colors stand out by comparison.

From my REALISM CHALLENGE book. I had a lot of fun on this project, and it remains the one book of mine that got published in Japan. amazon.com/Realism-Challenge…

My son and I in Japan, back in 2015. My wife's parents kindly took us on a variety of trips whenever we visited, allowing all of us to see parts of Japan we'd have never been to otherwise.

Here's one of the new pieces I added to my Etsy shop the other day. Like all the artwork in my shop, it is not a print but an original work: ink on paper, made by hand. etsy.com/shop/MarkCrilley

Happy birthday to my dear old Dad, who turned 92 today. How lucky I am to have such a wonderful father! Here he is in the first flush of youth, a lifetime of great achievements waiting just around the corner. 😊🙏

Illustration for my CHIBI drawing book. I'm not sure witches are traditionally depicted with green hair, but I was like, "Why not?" 😁

The luggage tag that I created for CHIBI!, my instructional art book. I devoted about a third of the book to showing how chibi artwork could be used as part of various craft projects. amazon.com/Chibi-Official...…

The four different cover designs I proposed for LOST IN TAIWAN, along with the cover as published. I would have been happy with any of these designs, to tell the truth. (Always best not to propose anything you're not 100% satisfied with! 😁)

A mashup illustration I did of The Incredibles with Toy Story. Two completely perfect movies, as far as I'm concerned. 😊

Yesterday at my @flintlibrary workshop, one of the attendees requested a lesson on how to draw Squirtle (From Pokemon). So I pulled out my phone, quickly studied some reference, and proceeded to create a lesson on the spot. Next workshop is next Tues: fpl.info/.../comic-workshop-…...
