Every year I set out to do a nice conceptual image that illustrated heritage, but every year I end up doing some sort of collage image. Is it possible [...]
click comic to read! My post this week is inspired by a regular segment on KEVIN POLLAK’S CHAT SHOW (an internet-based talk show) called The Larry King Game. The rules of the game are as follows: Do a bad Larry King impression (since I can’t do an “impression” in a comic, I opted to draw [...]
Your X-man of the week: Phoenix: And because it was easy: Dark Phoenix: Again, working on getting the brush to really look like a brush.
