This cover of a panda bear attack is sort of infamous as bad covers go, but you'd perhaps hope the interior artist had done a little more research on pandas.
No such luck.
As a lifelong fan of the White Sox, the majority of which was during the Jerry Reinsdorf era, here's the thing I will never miss once Jerry sells the team. Signing washed up stars at the end of their careers.
Chris Sabo, Cory Snyder, Jose Canseco, Manny Ramirez, Edwin Encarcion, Steve Sax, Ken Griffey, Jr., Roberto and Sandy Alomar, Tom Seaver, George Foster, John Kruk, Jimmy Rollins, and on and on...

Finally, I can show my cover for BLOODLAND #4 from @ignitionpress !
BLOODLAND is the new political horror series written by @bclaymoore , illustrated by @thedrawist , and lettered by @davesharpemetal — a dark, brutal world of collapsing power, violence, and vampires.
For this cover I had the chance to play with a strong noir atmosphere, heavy shadows, cold blue light, and a nasty warm glow from the blade… basically all the fun stuff. 😄
Here you can see both the original black-and-white line art and the final colored version.
Line art traditionally inked on paper, with digital colors by me.
Huge thanks to the @ignitionpress team for having me on this one.
Hope you like it!

Sink your teeth into the latest issue of BLOODLAND by B. Clay Moore and Mack Chater. Out today!
A power struggle emerges as Heather’s new companions in the Art League wonder if she can be trusted as she plans to save the infants being held in the hospital. Soon, a shocking act shifts the balance of power within the group.
Meanwhile, it is becoming increasingly clear that not all members of President Andrew Cross’s inner circle support his decision to hand over control of the US government to the vampires of The White Cell. But in this lawless world, even a small act of rebellion can have major consequences.
Just when it seems like things couldn’t get any more dangerous in the nation’s capital, a gang of child-like vampires, The Kinder, begin a reign of terror over Washington DC.

Cleaning the mansion, and need to make room for this.
A kid (20) I gave advice to at Planet Comicon came by the Ignition booth later and said, "I appreciated your advice so much I got you a sword!"
Weird, but why not? I appreciated the gesture!

Great Easter weekend mail call. Alex Grecian's THE BOATMAN arrived, along with a copy of MIDNIGHT MIND MAGAZINE, which features a conversation I had with Chris Neseman about influences (in this case an issue of STARMAN by two men who are now friends, @jamesdrobinson and @tonyeffinharris ).
Physical media for the win!
