I finally put the finishing touches on my Hourly Comics Day comics. They aren’t the right ratio to fit on Instagram, but I’ve posted them on my @patreon (link in the usual places) and should have mini-comics of it at all my shows this year. Hope you get to read it soon! 💙💙💙 #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicsday2026

I don’t typically share personal illustrations here but I’m really happy with this family portrait I made for my sister. It harkens to something I can’t quite place. 90s sitcom openings, maybe? What do you think?

Earlier this year, I colored Krime Guys 17 by Vince Vert. 🫟 Here are some of my favorite non-spoiler moments. In this issue: The boys visit Pee Legs at community college, Apose gets a job offer, and Cowboy takes a dumpster baptismal while trying to enter the annals of graffiti history. 🧯🧯🧯 Using Vince’s pre-existing colors as a foundation, I focused on matching his style from previous issues. I expanded the palette as necessary to enhance mood or settings. You can read the whole story online at @krimeguys , and find the books and merch at www.krimeguys.store #krimeguys #graffiti #comics #vincevert racheldukes

Willow risographs are up in the shop! ⛅ 5x7" two-color risograph print (aqua, flo pink) on cream and rainbow-speckle cardstock. 🌈🌈🌈 While I continue to make Frankie artwork well after her passing, I realized a few months ago that I don't have any sort of public art/record of Willow even though she is seven years old! I took a risograph workshop with Manda at @burn_all_books in San Diego and decided to make Willow the focus of my print. Look at how cute she turned out! mixtapecomics.storenvy.com mixtapecomics.storenvy.com mixtapecomics.storenvy.com #willow #risograph #riso #burnallbooks #babsandfriends

Earlier this year, I colored the last 15 pages of Everything Sucks #6 by Michael Sweater. Here are some of my favorite moments. In this issue: Noah and Calla may be best friends; but is it forever? Noah kicks Calla out to mixed results; Brad doubles down on #vanlife, and Noah's cat goes on the run as a storm brews outside. Using Michael's pre-existing colors as a foundation, I focused on matching his style in known environments and well-lit scenes. I expanded and adjusted the palette as needed to create a rainy Fall landscape. You can see Michael's other work at @michaelsweater , and find the Everything Sucks collection at /products/pre-order-everything-sucks-kings-of-nothing-by-michael-sweater #everythingsucks #comics #michaelsweater #racheldukes
