These are some of my drawings and comic pages that appeared in the art show last night (June 18th) at @agitatorgallery . Thank you to @agitatorgallery for having me in the show - I really appreciate it and a great time. My plan is to collect these and a bunch of other drawings I have into a zine. Turns out I will not be taking any summer classes which will give me more time to focus on the zine and other comics work. #drawings #drawing #comicart #markers #sharpies #crayons #streamofconsciousness (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfA5blSMAnZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

An exercise to see how quickly I could get these done before time ran out (lunch break, some downtime, getting off the train, etc). The first one is supposed to be #ghostrider, the second one is supposed to be #ironman. I definitely non referenced that iron man suit - I think I got the metal robot look across enough though. Both characters belong to @marvel #drawing #drawings #super #superheros #sharpie (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdNBHlnMb41/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
