00.06 - Ben Hargreeves - The Horror My absolute favorite character from #umbrellaacademy , he only appears in like two flashbacks and has a few lines a dialogue in the comics but @gerardway makes the words count in perfectly showing who the character is & @gabriel_ba does a perfect job illustrating him! Here’s hoping #hoteloblivion brings him back into the fold! . . #numbersix #thehorror #benhargreeves #comics #gerardway #gabrielba #netflix #darkhorse #comics #comicart #artistsoninstagram #instaart #illustration #sketch #sketchcard #mychemicalromance #theblackparade #apocalypsesuite https://www.instagram.com/cosmicillustrator/p/Buj77j_APm-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aa3diva0j3e2

“All remind you you're made of clay...” - Say Anything, The Hardest My favorite track off of the final Say Anything record, the image of a Oliver as a golem instantly came to mind with this line so I just had to draw it! . . #sayanything #oliverappropriate #thehardest #maxbemis #musicinspired #golem #emo #illustration #artistsoninstagram #instaart https://www.instagram.com/p/BtHqYdwBTHy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=125pwasd2kvt2

I am absolutely loving @ed_piskor & @jimruggart amazing @cartoonist.kayfabe YouTube channel & watching as the dive into Wizard Magazines past! It’s super fun, interesting, and I love getting the artist perspective on the industry! Plus they are from Pittsburgh! & growing up Pittsburgh adjacent makes it pretty awesome to see two amazing artist representing🤘 I did a DC themed cover since they’ve been (not surprisingly) pretty absent in the X-driven pages of Wizard and also I just really wanted to draw Bloodwynd! . . #wizardmagazine #cartoonistkayfabe #batman #azrael #bloodwynd #90s #comics #illustration #artistsoninstagram #artists #instaart #dccomics #comicart #comicbooks #superhero #manga #mangaart #kylerayner #greenlantern #justiceleague https://www.instagram.com/p/BsuWafmh3Ra/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m2ak376zo03m
