The ultimate guy. Though, honestly, what I want right now is more 30cm scale Showa Kaiju. I would be stoked if the shelves were only that. The other gens can get a home elsewhere.

It also doesn't help that 8 y.o. me also latched onto Vaporeon and 12 y.o. me Gardevoir. Quick, what defines my personality for loving Primape, Poliwag, Kadabra, and Blaziken?

8 y.o. me: "Charizard is my favorite Pokémon cause he's a big tuff dragon!"

Some terminally online chud 30 years later: "God, that's such a red flag. He's not even a dragon type, idiot!"

Now all I need is a half-size Billy bookcase to go on my dresser so I can fill it up with 15cm kaiju.

"LET HIM SPEAK!"

9" x 12" ink and watercolor on watercolor paper.

Somewhere, in the Deep reaches of space, an assembly has gathered on a space station. During a heated discussion on the design and capabilities of mecha, Isamu Kurogane (Lance) stands tall and dares to speak the truth. "Every Gundam is worse than Voltron because his hands are lion mouths!!!" he declares without shame. His bravado has impressed the Red Comet, Char Aznable, while confusing and insulting Amuro Ray. The delaration is heard to mixed reactions by many other mecha pilots (not by Shinji Ikari, he is doing his best to ignore him).

Just two ghosts in the haunted forest!
9" x 12" ink on Bristol paper.

Commission for @plante.bsky.social of his son and pup in scary sheets. This was a wonderful study to do that helped me unlock a strong storybook vibe!

A child in a sheet ghost costume and straw kitty hat tries to desperately keep his costume as his dog pulls on it happily. They are in a forest that is bright and cheerful.

"The Cultivation of Purpose"

Two 9" x 12" pages done on watercolor paper with a mix of sumi ink, watercolors, and airbrushed acrylics.

I wrote these pages a few years ago, and am happy to finally share them with you.

Watercolor comic page: Opening on a close up shot of a red rose in a dimly lit flag stone room. A pair of shears comes up and prunes the blossom from the plant, revealing a young woman with red hair and a dim blue dress. She asks, "What are you doing" to the gardener. Said gardener is a woman in a fine black dress with pearl buttons. Her fingernails are long and sharp like the thorns of the rose bush she is attending. She responds with a voice similar to that of her aged shears, "In order to properly cultivate a plant such as this, one must see to the removal of diseased material... Lest the rot spreads". She punctuates this with the sharp removal of another bud. "But," the young woman responds looking to a rose at the gardeners feet, "You're only removing the blossoms. Why grow roses only to prune their beauty?"

2nd page of a watercolor comic; The gardeners response almost shocks the young woman. "Oh, you poor, misguided, thing. Beauty IS the rot." we now look closely at a thick bramble of thorns as the woman continues in her rusty shear voice, then move out to show her identity. Standing before a massive rose bramble with thorns of unnatural length is a Sister of the Ever-Sharpening Blade. A dingy silk cloth laid over a face hidden to the outside world with long, sharp, protrusions poking out of an unnaturally tall head. In the glowing light she says, "What I cultivate... is purpose...".

Fem Math in a black party dress with a black and gold woven bead bracelet, a silver belt, and a choker that looks like a ticket stub that says "hell, admit one". They have red and black nails and simple smokey makeup.

A group of reporters look on in horror on Tokyo tower as Godzilla approches.

A young woman kneels naked on a bed of moss within a fairy ring. She holds a hand out to a unicorn that approaches her cautiously. It's head is lowered, sniffing at the maiden's hand with large, round, nostrils. It's long horn glows softly against the backdrop of it's shaggy mane. It has the forward-facing eyes of a predator. White butterflies mindlessly dance around them, one even landing on the glowing blade of a dagger hidden behind the maidens back.

Classic adaption of Henry James from director Jack Clayton. Sublime. One of the finest ghost stories on film. Utterly spine-chilling, simply exquisite. 1961
