Introduction…I’m an Eisner winning artist and writer, known for the independent noir comic book series STRAY BULLETS, that I cocreated with my partner Maria Lapham. In any medium, I believe in visual storytelling that can knock you on your ass.

Amazing!!!
AZRAEL! Finished. 9x12 con-style. This would be somewhere between a head-sketch and a torso. If anyone, noticed compared to yesterday, I had a highlight around the backside of the figure; but filled that all in black, as I realized the figure would hold fine without that highlight.

Superman appears in Action Comics
Batman appears in Detective Comics
So, really, when there’s a crossover between Superman and Batman it shouldn’t be “World’s Finest”, it should be AC/DC.

Currently reading the robin compendium. Some great Grant and Breyfogle stuff so far. Really hope we get a Second collection as I’d love to have the Mike Wieringo run.

I'm still a bit shaken up. I was involved in quite a violent mugging yesterday, but on the plus side I made a few quid...

Cleaned out the press under the stairs for the first time in over 10 years and found a few things including an original piece by Garry Erskine and some old annuals my wife got for me (second hand I haven’t been married since the 80’s 😂). Along with a few asterix books.

Some recently read books. The transformers universe remains a lot of fun to read and I really enjoyed the new Hate stories but did feel slightly personally attacked by middle age Buddy listening to Hardcore history on the cover 😂

while I didn’t get into American comics until the 90’s I have read a lot of older book but teen titans was a blind spot for me. This was immense fun and I found myself looking forward to reading it every day. Really makes me want to pick up the Suicide squad collection now.

Let's say DC does Wednesday Comics again. What characters and creative teams do you want for it? 16 slots, just like the original. #comics
