I was asked to a piece featuring Batgirl by a friend and long time supporter of my work. I was racking my brain trying to get a unique angle on the piece. I always wanted to draw Man-Bat. The idea of his arm around her, almost like he's trying to protect her was my hook. She has an expression of defiance, like she doesn't need him. Maybe they need each other and don't want to admit it. Sometimes relationships are that way, right? #batgirl #manbat #dccomics https://www.instagram.com/p/CpJ4F1tu_eq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"In Limbo" Packing this piece up and sending it to a good home. Nice start to the weekend. #illustration #penandink #surrealart #darkart https://www.instagram.com/p/CpobSyGOACp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m so thrilled to finally get back to illustrating some pieces for Myopia #4 this afternoon. Been finishing up a few big projects, but now, back to what I gotta do. Here are the last two pages I did for #4 before I had to take a break fr the project. #MYOPIA04 #theMYOPIAsketchbookproject https://www.instagram.com/p/CjBHuR5JTZR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

KONG vs PTERODACTYL - A MASSIVE commission (22"x30"), mostly drawn in a hotel room in San Diego at last year's Comic-Khan. I was really excited about this piece, but drawing anything at that size with pen and ink can be problematic more times than not. It was drawn on the fly and I made decisions based on what "felt right" at the time. I like working that way, but it can be nerve wracking when you're trying to get something finished. At the last minute, I felt the need to "blow out" Fay and draw her in a more abstract way. I'm not sure why...maybe I didn't want to distract from Kong and the Pterodactyl, but it felt right, and I think it makes for an interesting interpretation of her struggle. ***SWIPE RIGHT for detail shots and process shots*** #kingkong #pterodactyl #penandink #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CpHYMjXuFD_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@richmondtattooconvention is coming up later this week and I’ll be coming out to do some live painting for charity. This 4ft piece (acrylic/ink/blue pencil on canvas) is what I came up with last time I was out there. It’s one of my favorite shows. I’ve met so many cool people last time I was there and I’m hoping to meet some more this year. #cthulhu #tentacles #illustration #penandink https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj3CSt8Onqf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New artwork for Skin Crawl #3. Pro-tip. Don’t draw oversized pages. Takes WAY too long. I have no idea how Wally Wood was able to do it. #skincrawl #indycomics https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVH0KnvVvY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
