Science Comics: Computers comes out today!!! I am so excited that this book is finally out there in the real world! It's been a long journey, and I want to give a shout out to Perry and Penelope, what a fun team! And thanks for First Second for believing in this book! Get your copy today!

One of the great joys I had working on this book was the chance to really tap into my cartoony side. All the goofy, silly, ridiculous stuff was there in the script and Perry and Penelope really let me go wild! Aside from just teaching, I think this book is really funny!
Computers is out TOMORROW!!!

Hey, I finished this mural! I actually finished it about 2 weeks ago, but I've been so busy I hadn't had the time to post about it. It's going to be installed sometime later this year at Level99 in Natick, MA.

Made big progress on this mural these week. Hoping to finish it by next week! Thanks to Level99 for the opportunity to work this big!

Finally had the chance to finish off this gouache painting that I started a few weeks back. I'm pretty pleased with it!

Another round of marker tests. I got kinda garish with the colors, but I like 'em anyway!

I recently had the pleasure of digging back into marker drawing. I've got to get my chops back up for a project (can't talk about it yet!). Here are the first three practice drawings I did. #marker #drawing #penandink #scifi #copic #spaceship #doodle #artpractice

Another batch of robot doodles. Which one should I turn into a gouache painting? #drawing #sketchbook #doodle #robot #scifiart #comicsart #comicsartist #conceptart

New gouache painting. With birds! I'm trying to do more without the linework and just letting the colors sit next to each other.

From the sketchbook, some random robots... drawn while waiting for a doctors appointment.

It's finished!!! This one was quite the challenge, but I'm very pleased as to how it's turned out! Thanks again to @golevel99 for the unique opportunity to paint this pillar! The Tyson's Corner, VA opening late summer early fall. Be sure to check it out!

Forgot to document yesterday, but I made a lot of progress these past few days. Hopefully just a couple more to finish. Level99 - Tyson's Corner.

And here comes the next one. It doesn't look like much yet, and it's pretty much impossible to document. But here's a peak!

And she's finished! Not bad for 3 days labor. I think this might be my favorite thing I've ever painted. Thank you Level99 for the opportunity! Be sure to visit in late summer/ early fall if you are anywhere near Tyson's Corner, VA! Now on to the next one!
