A few months ago visiting The Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. 🕍 The Alamo is one of the four Spanish colonial missions in Texas that were designated a World Heritage sites by the UN. #rememberthealamo . . . #backtowork #blackink #illustration #sanantoniotexas #alamosanantonio #sketch #backtodrawing #drawthatout #thealamo #worldheritagesites #illustragram #sketching (at San Antonio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2kzhSegFj-/?igshid=1t095bkxgenuk

On this Juneteenth, I am thinking of Joe, the slave of William Barret Travis and the sole male survivor of the Alamo garrison. Sold to Travis in 1834, Joe would go on to become a member of the Alamo garrison during the Texas Revolution as Travis took command of the fortifications in late February of 1836. After Travis's death during the Battle of the Alamo and being spared of the carnage, Joe would travel to Washington on The Brazos where his experiences, including Travis's final moments, were described in detail. Joe remained in Washington on The Brazos as he was still deemed property under Travis's estate, working for John Rice Jones. Though on April 27th, 1837, Joe escaped and according to Travis family history, traveled to Alabama to tell Travis's kin of his fate at the Alamo. It is believed that Joe remained in southern Alabama for the rest of his life; buried in an unmarked grave near Brewton. (Pages 82 thru 85 of Todd Hansen's The Alamo Reader) Joe is depicted prominently in my upcoming commissioned - illustration of the attack on the north wall during the Battle of the Alamo. According to John Rice Jone's advertisement in search of Joe that ran from May to August of 1837 in the Telegraph and Texas Register, Joe was "about twenty-five years of age, five feet teen or eleven inches high, very black and good countenance.." #joe #thealamo #juneteenth #slavery #americanhistory #texashistory #history #sanantonio #texas #artist #illustrator https://www.instagram.com/p/By5jTEOHree/?igshid=2u1tw01e0iuy

Truly we stand on the shoulders of giants. When I took this photo of the moon over the Alamo a couple of years ago, I felt shivers. It's humbling to stand there at 2 a.m. and hear those echoes and feel those old ghosts. @officialalamo @visitsanantonio @historyphotographed @texastourism @texasmonthly @texas_hillcountry @texashighways @realtexashistory @thehistoryoftx @texasbootcompany #thealamo #alamo #sanantonio @junkgypsy

@alamocitycomiccon wrap up! (Scroll). My wife came so we took in the Alamo tour, I saw my ol' comic master friend @john_timms (follow him), I stalked @frankmilleroficial in the green room, saw some great cosplay, met some twin animators, and drew very diverse #Disney gals. It was a blast and thanks for having me ya'all! Hope to come again. #disney #pocahontas #jessicarabbit #alamocitycomiccon #thealamo (at The San Antonio River Walk)
