I hate most things I draw but this hand on his chin is all kinds of tits! I'm having so much fun with my new comic. I've been getting lots of positive feedback from my people both in and out of comics. I think you'll all dig it too. I'm going to start sharing pages soon. There will be a print version in the future but don't worry about that. I hope you all enjoy the madness that's coming! "FUBAR IN DUNWHICH" starts soon! #comics #comicbooks #bootlegcomics #bootleg #outlawcomics #80sexplosion #gijoe #cobra #snakeeyes #parody #toys #arealamericanhero #ink #sketch #instaart #instaartist #instatoon #cartoonist #cartoon #matthewjamescartoonist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn2kTTOP3r5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Panel from the book I'm working on. It's a labor of love and a bit of a secret. I was just really happy with this silly panel. Stick around for more previews as I get closer to finishing it! #bootlegcomics #outlawcomics #blackandwhitecomics #80scomics #80stoys #ink #sketch #sketchbook #cartoonist #cartoon #instatoon #instaart #matthewjamescartoonist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnz4jEMPtrs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Friday the 13th! Too sick to make something new so here's a piece I made for the 20th anniversary of Jason X. #fridaythe13th #jasonvoorhees #jasonx #kikikimamama #procreate #instaart #instaartist #instatoon #cartoonist #matthewjamescartoonist https://www.instagram.com/p/CnW8i1Grwr0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Combo Man! Another sketch nobody has ever asked for but I'm delivering it anyway a Mid-to-late 90s comics was a difficult time. The "bubble" had burst on the collector's boom and the big companies were trying things they typically wouldn't try to get people reading their books. Combos are a snack food with a pretzel or cracker crust stuffed with flavored goo. It was a match made in heaven and Combo Man was born! He might be the most 90s character ever! He has the strengths (and weaknesses) of 14 of Marvel Comic's most popular heroes and villains! He has Carnage's elbows! He has flaming knees from The Human Torch! Oddly enough, he doesn't have any Wolverine parts. He does have thighs from that hit character, Century! That's right, no Wolverine but a character from Force Works! (If you're into 90s comics, you'll get that) This was all part of some promotion between the 2 companies and I would love to own the 1 and only Combo Man #1 but it's pricey online. If you have a copy and want to trade for art, let me know! #comboman #combos #marvelcomics #90s #ink #sketch #sketchbook #cartoonist #cartoon #instatoon #instaart #instaartist #matthewjamescartoonist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl38wKqLkYw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tom Waits @tomwaits Digital sketch in procreate. Hard to get right but I'm pretty happy with it. My favorite musician ever. Not for everybody for sure. #tomwaits #raindogs #downtowntrain #sketch #sketchbook #digitalsketchbook #procreate #instaart #instaartist #instatoon #cartoonist #matthewjamescartoonist https://www.instagram.com/p/ClyyVkqvGVl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Creeper! Posca and ink in my smooth bristol sketchbook. I'm really digging these posca markers! The Creeper was created by Steve Ditko (and Don Segall). There's a great hardcover collection that I've had for many years but go back to often. It's great weird stuff! I always loved when he would pop up in the animated shows! #thecreeper #creeper #gotham #batman #jackryder #dccomics #steveditko #ditko #ink #posca #bristol #sketch #sketchbook #cartoonist #cartoon #instatoon #instaart #instaartist #matthewjamescartoonist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cllf0JQrcAr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Maggott suggested by my pal @ericsobelart (who you should follow). 1st appearance was X-Men #345 cover date 1997 Often noted as the worst x-man ever (they must not remember Angel) because he was really weird. He didn't last long and has only had brief appearances since. Ink and posca on 9x12 smooth bristol. The posca pens are fun and I look forward to playing with them more. Hope you like it!

Who doesn't love The Robot Devil? Wonderful performance by Dan "Homer Simpson" Castellaneta The 1st 4 seasons of Futurama are all great.

Mister Tawky Tawny in my little straight to ink sketchbook. They should just let the Marvel Family be fun again. #tawkytawny #mrtawkytawny #tiger #captainmarvel #marvelfamily #fawcettcomics #ottobender #ccbeck #goldenagecomics #ink #sketch #sketchbook #cartoonist #cartoon #instatoon #instaart #instaartist #matthewjamescartoonist https://www.instagram.com/p/ClEUSLYp2jE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I just watched both Horrifier movies back-to-back and was blown away (and actually shocked) by them! As a lifelong horror fan I highly recommend them to anybody into practical effects and gore. They're low budget but they seem extremely polished. My only criticism would be the runtime on part 2 (it's over 2 hours!). @damien_leone did a wonderful job and I'm interested to see more of this world and I'd love to see what else he'll come up with! Art the clown is a great modern slasher! @davidhowardthornton gives a great performance across the board! It's definitely not a series for the squeamish! Here's a quick little straight to ink sketch in my tiny sketchbook! #terrifier #terrifier2 #arttheclown #horror #ink #sketch #sketchbook #cartoonist #cartoon #instatoon #instaart #instaartist #matthewjamescartoonist https://www.instagram.com/p/CkwbWoMvomp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The 90s are always alive in my sketchbook NFL Superpro 1991-1992 Marvel Comics Only ran 13 issues The art is actually pretty solid from what I've seen of it. Jose Delbo who I don't know. Written by Fabian Nicieza (of course) #nfl #nflsuperpro #superpro #marvelcomics #marvel #90s #90scomics #ink #sketch #sketchbook #cartoonist #cartoon #instatoon #instaart #instaartist #matthewjamescartoonist https://www.instagram.com/p/CkmZDAlM0Ir/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Marvel Family Villains! I like this little sketchbook. The paper feels nice (and it's pretty thick). Plus it has gridmarks. I got it at wm. #marvelfamily #captainmarvel #shazam #mrmind #mratom #blackadam #sabbac #ibac #sivana #fawcettcomics #dccomics #ink #sketch #sketchbook #cartoonist #cartoon #instatoon #instaart #instaartist #matthewjamescartoonist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cki8YFMvuLE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Morning coffee straight to ink sketch MF DOOM Known by many aliases over the years but always DOOM one of the best to ever pick up the mic. Gone too soon but we have a great catalog of his music for his legacy. I highly recommend his Special Herbs instrumental albums for my artist friends. Put those on and draw! Also anything he did with Czarface is LOADS of fun. I defy anybody who likes hip-hop to deny the power of MADVILLAINY (2004). That's the first album from him and his collaborator Madlib as MADVILLAIN and it's just incredible. ALL CAPS! #MFDOOM #allcaps #czarface #madvillain #hiphop #rap #mc #ink #sketch #sketchbook #cartoonist #cartoon #instatoon #instaart #instaartist #matthewjamescartoonist https://www.instagram.com/p/CkiZTqVL7k6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
