My version of a poster from one of my favorite movies, “Raiders of the Lost Ark”. I also included some development stages so you can see the progress leading up to the final version. Made in @Procreate! #raidersofthelostark #indianajones #marionravenwood #arkofthecovenant #fanart

Inking and flatting more pages for “Roland’s Turnip Experience”, my all-ages comic adaptation of “The Turnip” by the Brothers Grimm. Making progress! (Eventually this will be done! 😄) #makingcomics #kidlitart #childrensillustrator #comicartist

This is basically me now. I wear contacts most of the time, but I can't really use multifocal contacts for reasons. So reading glasses it is. And often on the end of my nose. (Looking for "all-day" readers too, so let me know if you have a recommendation!)
I still have 94 Bluesk^ codes that I need to distribute to the #KidlitArt/#Kidlit community. Looking at you authors, illustrators, art directors, designers, editors, marketers, agents, teachers, librarians, etc. 💙❤️

An inked panel from “Roland’s Turnip Experience” (my all-ages #comic adaptation of “The Turnip” by the Brothers Grimm). Often times if you look at a character you created long enough you get accustomed to it, but I still chuckle at these Chihuahua guard dogs whenever I see them.
It’s going slow, but I’m gradually making progress on “Roland’s Turnip Experience”, my all-ages comic adaptation of “The Turnip” by the Brothers Grimm. Here are the final front and back covers (although some adjustments will probably happen before it’s complete). #makingcomics
I've got a couple of Bluesky 🟦☁️codes if anyone is interested! #bluesky
Haven’t posted lately as I’m in the middle of a project, but here’s what I’ve been reading. I’m a pro wrestling fan from way back, so it’s fun to read about the history in a graphic novel format. (H/T to @Kingfridayjoe as I saw it in one of his posts a while back so I bought it.)
Here’s an older illustration of an aquatic elf + a little bit of animation in @Procreate. Wow, cell animation like this is a lot of work! I’m more familiar with motion graphic style animation, but both are fun. Looking forward to doing more of this in #procreatedreams in Nov!

I worked at ILM on this film years ago. This clip has what would generally be considered a HUGE vfx error in it. It was going to be fixed but Dennis Murren said “if people are looking there we’ve failed”. Wisdom I applied going forward in my work. Focus on the important stuff.
Got myself some business cards reprinted, but this time with a couple of my illustrations on the reverse.

@drawnbyshawn It’s been about 15 years since I’ve seen either one, and I love them both. When a new format is announced, I hold off on re-watching a film until I can see it in the new format. And since both films skipped blu-ray, I haven’t watched them since the DVD versions were relevant.
