Shadow season update.

It’s the most wonderful season of all, as shadows grow longer— here’s what I’ve been up to:

• I’m wrapping up the last batch of these commissioned pieces, having a blast and kinda leveling up along the way. Above is my favorite: a Magik piece with Illyana as ruler of Limbo, reigning over the skulls of vanquished demonic captors, manipulators, and abusers. Three more to finish in this batch. I’ll open up a new round of commissions early next year via Athenaeum Comic Art— you can email Sean (athenaeumcomicart@gmail.com) to snag a spot for a custom piece, or to buy a page from one of my books. (Shoutout to everyone requesting X-Men characters for these pieces!)

• I just finished a variant cover (below) for Jeff Lemire’s fantastic series, Minor Arcana— issue number and release date will be updated once it’s set! Look out for my taking on art duties for an issue or two sometime next year.

• I’m writing and drawing a single-issue story in The Twilight Zone #4, coming early next year from IDW— about to jump into lettering and inking this week. More to share soon! What a thrill to make an official Twilight Zone story—it’s also one of the most challenging creative exercises of my life.

• I just finished an 8-page story with Nobel Prize-winning climate scientist Dr. David Easterling for Islands In The Sky, a star-studded comics anthology of collaborations with survivors of Hurricane Helene, as the inaugural release from the Appalachia Comics Project. You can pre-order a copy here.

• About to do the final edits, cover, and packaging for my next graphic novel, Diana, which will be out next fall— I’ll have plenty to share about this book as soon as we officially announce it early in 2026.

I’m sure there’s more, but considering (waves generally at the terror, desperate fascism, and likely social collapse which will leave a huge number of people utterly unprepared, despite a decade’s worth of clear warnings from experts, journalists, activists, and academics), this will do for now. I hope everyone’s maintaining all right, showing up in real space with their neighbors to speak up and look out for each other, and summoning all the courage and perseverence we’ve got.

Love to humanity. Death to fascism.

Magik commission in progress.

Inks on a Magik commission in the works. Illyana is a lifelong favorite of mine, with an incredibly moving character arc. Colors are next!

Lots of commissions in the works from this batch— be on the lookout for a new round of commissions opening up next year via Athenaeum Comic Art, who also sells my original artwork.

Domino commission.

Here’s a recently completed commission of Domino from X-Force/X-Men! I had a fantastic time doing this one.

My in-progress commissions are penciled, and I’m working through the inks on all of them right now, followed by colors for those which need it. My commission slots are closed for now, but I’ll probably take on a new batch of them early in 2026 via Sean from Athenaeum Comic Art, who also has a bunch of my published original artwork for sale here, if you’re interested.

Thanks, everyone, for your support!

Kitty Pryde & Magik.

Kitty Pryde and Illyana Rasputin, soulmates and my two favorite X-Men.

After completing a near-full-color graphic novel last month, it’s been very satisfying to return to an inks-only approach for a while.

Synch & Talon

Cleansing the ol’ palate after finishing two books back-to-back by doing some X-Men fanart. Synch & Talon / Laura Kinney / Wolverine / X23, because I’m a diehard romantic and a total sucker for cosmic/quantum-level relationships.

20% off all original artwork until Halloween

If you’re interested in buying any of my original artwork, now’s a great time: everything available at Athenaeum Comic Art is 20% off until the end of October! This includes the pricier March pages as well as Sweet Tooth, Black Hammer, Two Dead, Come Again, Any Empire, The Silence of Our Friends, The Year of the Beasts, and Swallow Me Whole.

After that, we’ll be restocking with some new originals, including some art from Run and Save It For Later, some X-Men pieces, Nib illustrations, and more. Stay tuned!

Monday morning Storm.

In between my current book projects, here’s another for-fun X-Men piece: Storm over Krakoa!

new year at the drawing table.

This year brings the (hopefully broadly acknowledged) understanding that social media is not a permanent outlet when we are its product. Back to making more drawings for the enjoyment of drawing itself, as I continue inking my adaptation of Lies My Teacher Told Me.

Also on the horizon in 2023: my recently-completed graphic novel Fall Through will be released around August! Official announcement in the coming months.

In the meantime, I kicked off the year with this Kate Pryde & Lockheed piece! Kate is my all-time favorite member of the X-Men.

And while I’m at it, here are a few more: Illyana/Magik, and Psylocke/Wolverine and Storm drawings from the very beginning of the pandemic.
