The Art of Jason May

I am the creator of Helmights, Bags, and Bot. I am also a freelance illustrator.

We had three well behaved little friends at our house today so I figured I'd draw them some weird unicorns. Hopefully they like them. Are you into weird unicorns? . . . . #art #drawing #comics #illo #illustrator #illustration #cartooning #unicorn #unicornart #copicmarkers #pentel #jasonmayart (at Hopkinton, Rhode Island)

I had a few people ask me about these alien beings. Some folks even said they look like wild taste good 😳 I decided to look a little deeper and to experiment with a little color. I hope you enjoy these #art #drawing #comics #illo #illustrator #alien #blob #eyeballs #eyeballart #copic #copicusa #markers (at Hope Valley, Rhode Island)

I was checking out @ryanmyersart piece that that he posted today and it made me want to sketch out this weird cat. I know a lot of you folks are into cats so I thought maybe you'd enjoy this unusual cat person inspired by Ryan's painting. . . . . #art #copic #copicmarkers #pentel #pentelamerica #cat #cats #catart #drawing #illustration #jasonmayart #comics #handdrawn #illo #illustratorsofinstagram #markers #ink #original (at Hopkinton, Rhode Island)

🛸 Here's another odd ball character drawing. A strange space mechanic comes upon some floaty eyeball aliens while leaving the hanger bay 👽 . . . . #scifi #triclopse #mechanic #art #illo #drawing #illustration #jasonmayart #comics #aliens #lowbrow #sketch #illustrator #illustratorsofinstagram (at Hopkinton, Rhode Island)

My small legged friend must be weighed down by his large upper body, because he's having a hard time lifting up that sword! #art #drawing #inks #comics #instaart #illustratorsofinstagram #illustration #penandink #illo #character #sword #fantasy #fantasyart #silly #quirkyart #lowbrow #jasonmayart #artist #sketch (at Hopkinton, Rhode Island)

Trying some new things. I plan on coloring this some time soon. I have a few more sketches that I will post over the next week or so.

How is your studio going? Mine is littered with more and more notes, character sheets, reference and tools. Progression tends to bring calming feelings . . . #studio #comics #art #artwork #drawing #behindthescenes #robotart #jimmycakes #jasonmayart #workarea #workflow #sequentialart #penciling

A nice pile of, my current favorite, pens has landed. I was running on fumes! Time for more inking #pentel #artsupplies #weaponofchoice #drawing #inking #comicart #studio #illo #illustratorsofinstagram #jasonmayart

I have spent the last few weeks upgrading my studio. My latest acquisition is this great light pad. I have also been moving forward quickly on an old project #comics #illustration #art #drawing #studio #thumbnails #behindthescenes #wip #webcomics #illo #artistsofinstagram #jasonmayart #jimmycakes #robotart

If you've been around for a while you may sense that something is coming. I drop hints here or there. Sometime things slow down, sometimes they speed up. Ebb and flow. No time table What do you hope to see on the horizon? #drawing #panels #comics #robots #drawingcomics #wip #webcomics #hint #ink #graphite #layout #behindthescenes #jasonmayart #jimmycakes #art

There is a lot of rain in the forcast. I'm really hoping for some snow. How about you? Are you ready for winter to kick into gear or do you love the mud?

My surf fin greeting card is sure to please any wave riding ocean lover. This limited edition lino block print is available on my new web store right now. It may still be able to get to you by Christmas if you order soon! Every now and then I need to carve out some images and lay down some ink. It's like meditation.
