Hello new Bluesky users! I should reintroduce myself! I'm a comic book and storyboard artist from Portland, OR. I'm mostly known for:
-Drawing comics! Most prominently, Plants vs Zombies.
-Drawing (mostly video games) fanart in varied styles
-Pretending to be Kim Kitsuragi from Disco Elysium

A 2x2 Grid of art showing the cover art and an interior page from the comics Earth Boy and Plants vs Zombies.

3x3 grid of art showing fanart for Disco Elysium, Final Fantasy 7, Hades 2, X-Men, Elden Ring, NieR Automata, Mass Effect, The Last of Us, and Hades

2x2 grid of photos of me in Kim Kitsuragi cosplay. I'm an early-forties Asian dude with round glasses and an orange bomber jacket.

For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.

Shadow of the Colossus: An oral history

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Team Ico’s masterpiece by looking back with 11 people who worked on it (and three who didn’t).

French people (probably)

Crudely drawn dinner art done in the iphone notes app. A man with a moustache, red pants and beret, and striped shirt grabs his crotch with one hand while pointing at it with the other. Text indicates he is saying dix-neuf. He also has a baguette on his back.

...To their credit, the PA guys later fully apologized and deeply regretted their handling of the whole situation. Time will tell if Jay is able to grow up and come to similar realizations.

This whole waffles situation feels like dickwolves all over again and I'm sorry if you understand what that means. You can pwn your haters for lulz if you're a bullied underdog but you cannot do this once you've grown to be the one in power-

Went out to see Perfect Blue on the big screen. Hadn't seen it in years! Still one of the most intense and immaculately crafted psychological thrillers out there.

Shameful and irresponsible reporting to quote all these people who support federal occupation, but not address the fact that the feds aren't here to fix any of their grievances. They will not help with homelessness or crime; they are here only to make a show of force against peaceful protestors.

Good Devils: Don't Play Fair With Evil is here!
Me & @nickdragotta.bsky.social co-created it, @sievish.bsky.social designed it, and @erikaschnatz.bsky.social got us ready for press at Image. I feel really fortunate to have made another book entirely with friends. Rare feeling.
Anyway, please buy it!

the wraparound cover for Good Devils: Don't Play Fair With Evil, a one-shot collecting three stories by Nick Dragotta & David Brothers, designed by Sasha Head.
in an homage to 36th Chamber of Shaolin, a tall black woman named Bella strikes a martial arts pose inspired by the film's poster. on either side of her, in inset panels, are a boxer and a gunman who've been spot-colored.
To the left is text that reads: "It's a 64-Page Love Letter and we sealed it with a fist."

They used it a lot on Queer Eye, which I'm guessing had a significant role it the popularity in those circles!
