Inspiration is for suckers. Talent is worth the same as an idea, which is ZERO if you put no effort into its manifestation. Work conquers all. Pair that with patience, consistency, effort, humility and a splash of ambition and you’ll be ahead of 98% of all humans. Inspiration needs to find you behind the desk when it comes around or it’s already too late. Get to work!

My OFFICIAL drop for SDCC with @comicsketchart is a cover for the legendary @brett2dbean and his breath-of-fresh-air-constantly-going-to-reprint D’orc! In my particular case, issue 6! What a banger experience working with this team of proper professionals. Can’t wait to do more! Side note, and I will do another video going into more detail on this, but these colors are the debut of a wonderfully talented artist @mad_strom who approached me in LA with whom I was super impresse

Yes, that’s Ryan Ottley talking to a guy with Ryan Ottley’s face on his shirt. 😂 Yes that’s Shoei Ohtani as Invincible. 😂 Crazy fun remark done for a great dude. It’s official. SDCC day 4 is in the books. Highlights? Todd McFarlane came by the booth to say hi, so that was insane. Finally got to meet David in person and have a solid convo. A young lady named Amanda, who was submitting a portfolio review, landed her first big gig and came over to celebrate her win with me. Wh

I was supposed to leave the con an hour earlier. We were going to go to dinner at a totally different location. We were going to walk the dog first but decided to make sure we could get seated before it got too busy. There were about half a dozen things that had to fall into place for me to stumble by @toddmcfarlane and have our second conversation 35 years later. But that’s how it seems to work when the time is right. Todd was gracious with his fans (fan) as always. We had a

Keep going G. You’d be surprised how far a little patience and tenacity will take you. You got this. 🙏🏻 SDCC 2026 booth GG17

It is not lost on me how lucky I am. And while that luck was definitely earned in many ways, I’d have to be an arrogant fool to believe that I didn’t hit some cosmic jackpot after gambling for a lifetime. My wife and I were on the road driving to San Diego last night, and as we were carving our way between cliff sides and ocean, with the music, moonlight and my thoughts all harmonizing at once. And I had this awesome moment of gratitude to be a creator. To be one of those bur

Them: “Bro, how many covers are you dropping for SDCC?” Me: “Yes.” Get my D’Orc 6 cover while you can! Just comment “LFG” and I’ll send you everything you need! @brett2dbean is the man!

Like any proper idiot, I was brought an idea and said yes before considering how VERY difficult this would be. And difficult being relative of course. It wasn’t hard in the sense that I struggled to figure it out. It was just MANY LINE! TOO MUCH LINE! SO MUCH LINE! 😅 Covers generally take me around 12-15 hours. This was closer to 25. And that’s considering it was one of the easier covers to color. All of that bitching and meaning aside, I am SUPER stoked with the end result.

You know what the best part about these cons has been? The surprising connections and experiences with some of the best peeps in the industry. I made a switch mentally back at the end of 2024, that these cons can’t be looked at as direct financial revenue sources. They are expensive in every way. Mentally, physically, and financially. But when they became more about networking events and opportunities to connect and grow my community, all the expense in the world has become w

If you’re a D’orc and Todd Beats fan, just comment “DORC” and I’ll get you hooked up! My latest pencils for D’orc 5, dropping at San Diego Comic Con in a couple weeks! I partnered with @knightofcomics for this one. He was adamant about wanting a close up bloody D’orc. I was struggling with the idea because I felt like 3 other artists had done this approach, and done so VERY successfully. I was also trying to get away from always being the “bloody close up” guy. But when I cam

We’ve been waiting to talk about this one and finally, we can! Dropping in just a couple weeks for the comic convention of the year, SDCC, and in partnership with @knightofcomics, my INSANE D’ORC cover. Bruised, bloody, and immersed in flame, yet still ready to kick some major ass, this cover is ABLAZE! We are making limited presales available through our respective businesses tomorrow (FRIDAY JULY 10th at 12pm EST). If you want to be in, I strongly suggest you sign up for my

I know my females need work. I’m really trying to get some stylistic choices locked in and I should probably dedicate some real time on them. Maybe a week of female only commissions?

There are some things I would do differently for sure. But all in all, I love the vibe of this WildC.A.T.S. trio.I spent a bit more time on these than I normally would. But the commissioner of these has been SUPER patient, and he deserves the best work I can provide.

Mistakes are great. They often lead to more freedom. That is, if you can accept those mistakes and why they were made, do your best to improve upon them, and keep your cool along the way. We were hanging out on a Live. I was working on a commission and selling some books, doing some remarks, having a GREAT time. I did a dope drawing. I was excited about coloring it, and when I did the color wash, the ink I had never used before decided to bleed with the wash. (I know better a

Hell no it’s not effortless. Sometimes it’s confusing AF. “Why the FUC* is this arm WRONG?!” Like, I KNOW it’s wrong, but I could not figure out WHY. I tried to go back to the basics, and it still didn’t make sense. Then I realized it wasn’t my geometry, it was my incorrect location of the elbow. The moment I recognized the problem, EVERYTHING ELSE fell into place. I think that might be why “problems” are ok to me these days. I try to recognize them as a precursor to me getti

Struggles became simple after I made one small adjustment in my thinking As an independent artist and business person, I struggled for 20 years before things started to click. In my attempts to better myself, something important was revealed to me, and that is the principle that most of our suffering is self imposed. Those feelings of discomfort, fear, apprehension, torment, doubt, can often be directly attributed to our own expectations not being met. It is wanting this mom

We are that which we invest our time and energy into. The universe responds to how and where that time and energy is spent. Move through your life with that in the back of your mind and you’ll soon recognize why you have what you have, why you don’t have what you claim to want, and how you’re feeling about all of it.

I was told that this idea was going to make everyone lose their minds at SDCC. The concept seemed simple enough. Pay homage to modern manga while respecting my obsession with the 90’s comics aesthetic. Should be easy. But, it was not. 😅 This was a lot to put into one cover. Arranging the story panels of Battle Beast in the background with the madman Conquest laughing maniacally was no small feat. But the end product is definitely going to stand out from the crowd. @webstersv

From day one, this has been a true passion project. ⚔️🔥 Proud to finally reveal our SDCC Exclusive Battle Beast cover by the incredible Todd Beats, paying homage to Luffy Gear 5 in a way that perfectly captures the energy and spirit of both worlds. 💥 Limited to ONLY 1,000 copies worldwide.
