Jeffery J. Manley

I am a cartoonist living in northern Michigan. I am currently working on a new secret book project that I will talk about often on this blog (secret to pretty much everyone, but me and my 30 followers). I have many books available for purchase on Amazon.com (feel free to search them out and buy them all). I do many public appearances and am always looking to do more.

I have a new idea for a comic strip. People like pugs, right?.. #artistofinstagram #indieartist #indiecomics #comicstrips #joplinandlinus #drawpugs #drawdaily #pugsofinstagram #pugs

People often tell me that I would sell more sketchcards if I drew things that were more popular. Well, to that I give you Jack White playing baseball. #jackwhite #whitestripes #baseball #artistofinstagram #indieartist #cartoonistproblems #cartoonist #drawdaily #sketchcards

Some heros wear capes. Some heros rush into burning buildings.... my hero has the best mustache in comics and can draw faster and funnier than any person ever. #artistofinstagram #indieartist #groo #sergioaragones #legendsofcartooning #cartoonistlife #cartoonist

Some heros wear capes. Some heros rush into burning buildings.... my hero had giant glasses, a Freddie Mercury mustache and wears a sweater over a button up! #artsupplies #artistofinstagram #indieartist #calvinandhobbes #billwatterson #legendsofcartooning #cartoonistlife #cartoonist

I must say, this is one cute alien.... I am so creative. I bet 2018 is the year I break out of obscurity! Help that happen. Share my work with your friends! #zeroadventure #pugsinspace #pugs #drawdaily #artistofinstagram #indieartist #comicstrips #scifi #draw #illustration

My favorite part of the Punisher on @netflix is that it paints a horrible picture of the kind of people that would put a Punisher/Blue Lives Matter sticker on their pick up truck. #punisher #drawdaily #indieartist #illustration #blood #cartoonist

Earlier this year I had the most excellent experience of illustrating 2 pages of Albert the Alien. Well, I did it again! Go to albertthealien.com and see the first of two new pages! 2nd drops on Friday. #webcomic #albertthealien #baking #cartoonist #indieartist #artistofinstagram

Since Halloween is tomorrow, I went a little more creepy than alien. But, aliens can be creepy right? One more #inktober after this. #zeroadventure #inktober2017 #artistofinstagram #indieartist #drawdaily #coloringbook #draw #illustration #skull #eyeball @sakuraofamerica #sakurainktober

Here is the 48th #inktober drawing that I have done this year. I know its only the 26th... this includes all my pre-inktober drawings. #inktober2017 #zeroadventure #drawdaily #draw #illustration #indieartist #artistofinstagram #cartoonist @sakuraofamerica #sakurainktober

Every time I do #inktober or any series of drawings, I love looking at a group of them together like this. These are just the last nine. I like to look and see if I am subconsciously making any themes, like do all my aliens look the same? Or is zero always facing right? Yeah, I over think this stuff.

Here is the 40th #inktober drawing I have done this year! FORTY! That seems crazy to my brain right now. #zeroadventure #coloringbook #illustration #draw #drawdaily #artistofinstagram #indieartist #scifi #inktober2017 @sakuraofamerica #sakurainktober

Learning to #inktober, but I ain't got wings.... #inktober2017 #zeroadventure #tompetty #draw #illustration #drawdaily #indieartist #artistofinstagram #scifi @sakuraofamerica #sakurainktober

An #inktober on Friday the 13th? How about a little lake alien action? #inktober2017 #zeroadventure #scifi #coloringbook #indieartist #artistofinstagram #dailydrawing #illustration #draw @sakuraofamerica #sakurainktober
