Miles Ritchie from @capecowlcomics in Oakland knows exactly what ComicsPro is really all about! Curious about the comic he mentioned? ✨ 👁️ ODIN #1 (May 2026) Odin is a brand new miniseries from Image Comics, described as "Green Room meets Midsommar in JAMES TYNION’s most relentless Horror story yet!" 😱 We've got a few more interviews from @wearecomicspro in the bank, so make sure you're following along! #arsenalcomicsandgames #comicspro #imagecomics #norsemythology

WOW. A massive THANK YOU to everyone for an overwhelmingly amazing Cape & Cowl Con! @capecowlmanhoff , myself, and the rest of the Cape & Cowl Comics crew are incredibly proud of this event, but it would be nothing if we didn’t have the best attendees, guests, vendors, sponsors, venue, and volunteers supporting us! This has quickly become my favorite day of the year, and I’m grateful I get to spend it with my favorite people. Time to start planning for next year!

“I remember some... horrible dream about... smothering? I don't know... Anyway, where are we?” Alright, I’ve awoken from my Instagram slumber. Let’s kick things back off with this portrait of Kane from Alien (1979). This piece fought me just about every single step of the way, and went through multiple different iterations. It was definitely a learning experience, and I picked up some new painting and woodworking techniques. Ultimately, I am extremely satisfied with how this project turned out. It’s up there as one of my favorite things I’ve ever made. Special thank you to Owen, for being the most patient client in the world while I took my (way too much) time with this piece. Thank you Jermel for your input and assistance as I figured out how to build this thing. Thank you to Clinton for these lovely photos! Lastly, thank you Jack the cat for being my Jonesy Acrylic on hand-cut wood, Plexiglass

“ARCHENEMY! CRYSTAL BOWIE” Acrylic on wood. Crystal Bowie is the main antagonist in the 1982 anime series, Space Adventure Cobra. This piece was made for last month’s “Anime in LA” group exhibition presented by @spoke_art . The show featured over 100 works of art taking inspiration from Japanese Anime, all of which are still available to view at Spoke Art’s online store! #spokeart #ANIMEinLA #CrystalBowie #SpaceAdventureCobra #popplyportraits

🕸💬 THWIP! Here’s a Spider-Man Homecoming inspired commission. Achieving symmetry was definitely a challenge and took multiple tries to get just right, but I’m happy with the final result. 💬🕸#PopPlyPortraits #👀MakingFaces

⚡️🔩 A very limited batch of my HEADS UP! Frankenstein masks are now available on MakingFaces.shop! Originally released in 2020 at the opening reception of “HEADS UP!”, my two person show with @rat136 at recess gallery in SF. This mask was sculpted by special effects master @gregaronowitz , vacuum-formed at his art department @barnyardfx , and painted my me! A monstrously cool collaboration! They also come in a custom box that I designed. Get one before they go back to the lab!🔩⚡️ Note* The masks for sale are a very small batch that are in my personal possession and are marked down from their original gallery price.
