Some process from the piece for @thebenjis401 I’m always a big fan of black and white and the stark contrast it creates. What do you think of this version? Go listen to their new single “Shimmering” at the link in their bioooooo 🙀💀 #thebenjis #catart #meow #illustrationartists #procreate #procreateart #albumcover #albumart #comicartist (at Swan Point Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZzGLXJ2sZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Black Widow 🕷. . . . . I thought @marvel ‘s Black Widow movie was pretty decent. What’d you think? Gonna miss Scarlett that’s for sure 😢😜. I wasn’t really a huge fan of this character when I was younger, but she’s grown on me thanks to her development in the movies. The fact that she’s a deadly assassin with a hilarious dad is what won me over. And respect to the goat King Kirby as usual 🙏. . . . . #marvel #marvelcomics #marvelcomicsuniverse #blackwidow #natasharomanoff #jacktober #jackkirby #kingkirby #avengers #scarlettjohansson #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #ink #inkdrawing #comics #comicbooks #comicbookart #moleskinesketchbook #pentelbrushpen #fabercastell (at Providence, Rhode Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTQCwEPHEXF/?utm_medium=tumblr

MOON KNIGHT 🌙. . . Who’s excited for @marvel ‘s new Moon Knight show on @disneyplus !? He’s one of my fave characters visually, and I’m excited to see how they flesh out his story and his struggles with mental health. . . Why do we have to wait until 2022 😭!? . . . . #moonknight #marvel #marvelcomics #disneyplus #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #ink #penandink #inkdrawing #pentelbrushpen #micronpen #fabercastell #comics #comicbooks #comicart #comicartist #byronolsonart #byronolson #strangeonecomics (at Providence, Rhode Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CShv-b7nugh/?utm_medium=tumblr

#jacktober 5. THOR. . . . . I’m gonna keep doing these until I’m done. I might change a few of the characters on a few days, but all in respect to the #kingkirby 👑. Thor is another one of my fave characters ever. My Swedish heritage/ love of Norse mythology, and my fascination with superheroes, combine to admire one of the coolest and strangest Kirby characters ever! This piece was fun for me. I am struggling to draw these small enough to fit in this little #moleskinesketchbook as you can see in this one. But I think it was worth it because I’m feeling the energy in this piece... might have to color it! Stay tuned, Galactus is next! And maybe I’ll bring back Surfer and Thor in that joint... . . . . #illustration #illustrationartists #illustrator #comics #comicbooks #comicart #comicbookart #comicbookartist #penandink #inktober2020 #intober #inkdrawing #thor #marvelcomics #themightythor #avengers #avengersassemble #makecomics #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #jackkirby #moleskine #pentelbrushpen #micronpen #fabercastell (at Providence, Rhode Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHjAi3PnjbQ/?igshid=108v0fzrbgyfy

#jacktober 4. Cap. . . . . Cap will knock your bitch ass, white supremacist ass right the fuck out. In case you were confused, Cap was created as an anti-fascist, and punching fascists is what he’s all about. This is an homage to Cap’s first cover by Kirby and Simon in 1941 where he’s knocking out Hitler. Swipe to the end for reference. That’s all, have a nice day 😁. . . . . #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #inktober #inktober2020 #captainamerica #nojusticenopeace #inkdrawing #illustratorsoninstagram #comics #comicbooks #comicbookart #comicbookartist #jackkirby #kingkirby #blm #america (at Providence, Rhode Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGs3Ac4H64z/?igshid=1gw70gy3z1jnn

#jacktober 3. Thing. . . . . Had fun finishing this up on insta live. Thin is such a cool character that I’ve never drawn so this was pure enjoyment for me. It’s clobberin time 👊! . . . . #inktober #inktober2020 #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #illustratorsoninstagram #marvel #marvelcomics #jackkirby #ink #inkdrawing #thing #thething #fantasticfour #brushpen #brushpenart #comics #comicbooks #comicart #comicartist #comicbookartist #artistsoninstagram (at Providence, Rhode Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-Ug-rnlN0/?igshid=1aqskicwr3z7x

#jacktober 2. Silver Surfer. . . . . Silver Surfer is one of my fave characters all time. I was kind of nervous to post this because it is very messy and there’s a lot wrong w it, but that’s not really what these inktobers are about for me. So I said fuck it. I’ll do another surfer piece at some point 🏄‍♂️. Again, no pencil, no under drawing, very little planning. Just attack the page w ink! . . . . #inktober #inktober2020 #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #silversurfer #space #marvel #marvelcomics #ink #inkdrawing #comics #comicbooks #comicart #comicbookartist #surfing #surf #cosmos #illustratorsoninstagram #artistsoninstagram (at Providence, Rhode Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF73hM8H_xJ/?igshid=a0ho5k4kh6sw
