These are the covers I've worked on for Marvel, Blue Shack, Lenovations Press and Disinter Comics.
Without social media, I never would have found out that my Daredevil #373 cover was given new life through the work of these notable artists; Paolo Rivera, Peach Momoko and Dustin Nguyen.

Many thanks to Jeremiah Fettinger, Dakota Alexander, and Alex Macphee whom I met through FB
Its #portfolioday!

I'm a former Marvel penciler (Daredevil #373)

This is my recent work from the last year for Blue Shack Comics, Lenovations Press, Disinter Comics, and Dr. Masque.
I just ordered a copy on eBay. I'm building a little collection! 😊
Just learned that Peach Momoko also did an homage to my DD #373 pose. I consider it an honor 🙏

Daredevil (2022) #1 Variant cover
It's quite an honor for me to have Dustin Nguyen do an homage of my pose from Daredevil #373 for this Batman / Daredevil crossover.

It's tiny, but really cool! I just found out about it today, thanks to my friend Dakota Alexander.
Plague #1 has shipped out, and my variant cover is out there in the real world!

Thank you to all who supported this Kickstarter 🙏

This cover marks the official 1 year anniversary of my return to comics!
Yes! Great catch 👏

It's also an homage to Gil Kane's Jungle Action #14 cover

My first credit in a comic since 1998!

Plague #1 Virgin variant
I appreciate it Kim 🙏

I'll miss creating art professionally, but it was a privilege to do it again at all.
Rest in peace Dave Taylor 🙏
This obi was hard. I’m very sad to report the passing of the marvellous comic artist, UFO and Rush fanatic Dave Taylor, most recently known for his outstanding work for 2000AD, who, at the time of his death, had been working on the second volume  Megatropolis for Judge Dredd Megazine

A small tribute to a great artist...

Thanks Kim.

This is more about true comic veterans with 15 + years with the big 2.
I don't consider myself a veteran comic artist.

I'm leaving the industry, so I have nothing to lose.

The big 2 don't care about comic veterans.

They have no loyalty to, or gratitude for the comic veterans upon whose backs they built their success in comics and film.

Here's a parting middle finger to Marvel and DC🖕
I'll be taking a break from comics for a while.

My day job has become more stressful, and I'll be teaching martial arts a few more nights a week soon.

It was a really fun year!
My pencils have been inked by Kevin Nowlan, Bud LaRosa, and Mark McKenna.

I'm very honored to have had the privilege to work with such renowned artists 🙏
I visited my friend Christian Angeles who was tabling at Nerd Fest in Swedesboro, NJ today.

I had the pleasure of meeting Derek Allen from Konkret comics and Robert J. Sodaro, comic writer. Hoping to have the opportunity to work with them in the future 🙏
Thanks Kim! I still think he must have been high or something 😅
A vendor visited my table on Sunday, pointed at my copy of DD #373 and said, "That's a nice cover. Everyone wants that issue. It's hard to find." and I said, "Really?!" Lol 🤷‍♂️
