Buy Marc’s book! I haven’t read it, but I know Marc is a fantastic artist who deserves your support.

Friends, with Endeavour launching tomorrow it would be really cool if you could increase our bandwidth by reposting my Endeavour posts and hopefully drive some good sales on the book we have all worked so hard on.

We’ve lost Drew Struzan. A modern master, who by all accounts was a humble, sweet, loving, dedicated man. His work influenced culture itself, & we’ll be seeing that influence until the end of the modern world. What a legacy. What a body of work. May he rest well, & may his memory be a blessing.

How I turned myself into a bog witch:
1. Setting up the reference shoot.
2. The reference shoot. Probably 20-30 shots. In costume, ‘acting the character out’. Sounds so pretentious.
3. Preliminary sketch. This is where I flesh out the character and give them their identity
4. Final artwork.

Agreed. And as far as the comic pages go...I'm with ya. There is nothing like the feeling of the ink on the brush against the bristol. But I wanted a painted book...but I needed it to be fast because I take waaaay too long to do the pages. So this was the compromise. I do love having the originals

OUT OF ALCATRAZ is a story I’m incredibly proud of, and the collected edition out next week is gorgeous.

@mrtylercrook.bsky.social’s art couldn’t be more beautiful in this book from @oni-press.bsky.social.

I’ll be signing copies of the new edition at Revenge Of in LA on 10/21 from 6-8p. Come by!

I've been experimenting with a hybrid approach: pencils on paper, trace, scrap whatever, scanned in and adjusted; then bluelines printed large for inking; colors are a selection of traditional washes combined with charcoal and graphite textures scanned in and overlayed. Final looks very traditional.
