We’re on the precipice of dangerous and scary times, folks. The ability of women to choose stands in peril, and if things go the way they appear to be going, the path will be dark for a long while. Our wives, sisters, and friends will be forced to carry unwanted and even dangerous pregnancies to term. Our daughters will inherit a world where their own bodies are more regulated than weapons, and their own biology will be weaponized against them to enforce what will basically amount to subservience. . When my wife was pregnant with our daughter, she developed a lot of scary complications. With a lot of medical help, they both made it through just fine, but we were very fortunate. Along the way, we also learned that attempting another pregnancy would likely be fraught with heavy risks. So, despite all our vigilant precautions, there is always a chance of surprise, and the future appears to be shockingly to put the life of my wife, and countless women like her, on the line, in the name of puritanical zeal. Future generations will be sentenced to navigate the slippery slopes of risk and obligation, and many will find themselves trapped in the constant strain of poverty. Our daughters will not bear this alone, as our sons will find themselves in the same bondage, especially when the risk of their childrens’ mothers become tragic avoidable losses. . We are looking down the barrel of some Handmaid’s Tale shit. Our own American evangelical brand of Sharia Law. . Shit feels downright bleak, y’all. Stay strong. .

I’m super excited to share this piece, as these folks are some of my absolute favorite artists, and it’s an honor to get to do this for them.

I was digging through my old files and found this old sketch of “Slutty Dumbledore,” which i thought I’d re-share… but most importantly, I found the reference photo I took when I did it, which I thought I’d share for your enjoyment. . #sketch #dumbledore #dumbledoresarmy #thirsttrapthursday #commission #strathmorepaper #copicmarkers #yasutomoink #raphaelbrushes — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/N03hByJ

Here’s a sketch that I did for my pal @raylewisthecat! Since I had a @mylittlepony blank laying around, I decided it needed something disturbing.

Here’s a sketch card commission I did recently of Chris Farley as El Niño. Re watching this skit on @nbcsnl after so long brought just as many laughs as the first time. . . . . . #chrisfarley #elnino #chrisfarleyelniño #snl #nbcsnl #saturdaynightlive #nbc #skit #funny #art #artist #copicmarkers #copic #copicmarker #sumiink #raphaelbrushes #sketchcard #sketch #drawing — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/rieRD1w

Here’s the finished He-Man villains piece I did for my buddy @jasonbrownlab. This one is my most developed marker drawing to date. I tried to incorporate all of my favorite design elements from over the years for the characters. . Piece is on 11x17 Strathmore paper, fully rendered with Copic markers, and sumi ink with Raphael brushes. . . . . #sumiink #raphaelbrushes #strathmoreart #strathmorepaper #copic #copicmarkers #heman #motu #skeletor #mastersoftheuniverse #80s #trapjaw #beastman #evillyn #triklops #panthor #battlecat #hemanvillains #villains #toys #cartoons #80scartoons #sketch #sketches #comicart — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/35nfWHU

Next up in my He-Man Rogues’ Gallery piece is EVIL-LYN. I tried to blend elements from the Horsemen’s design with the classic, as well as the Sideshow statue, with a bit of the 80’s movie bodice. I also really dig the Morrigan/Darkstalkers-style bat wings on the headdress in the newest animated series, so i worked that in, too! . #evillyn #evil #villain #skeletor #heman #hemanandthemastersoftheuniverse #mastersoftheuniverse #motu #sorceress #raphaelbrushes #strathmorepaper #ink #inkdrawing #comicart #sketch #sketches — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3mQ6ing

Sharing another #wip desk shot of the big Masters Of The Universe piece I worked up for my buddy @jasonbrownlab/@jasonsbrown’s Xmas present. Here’s BEAST-MAN, whose origin story, incidentally, was my first ever professional gig in comics. I had to hold pretty tight to the Horsemen designs on that job, which mainly didn’t allow me much room to interpret him in my own way very much, but I’m doing it my way now. . #beastman #heman #hemanandthemastersoftheuniverse #mastersoftheuniverse #motu #villains #raphaelbrushes #strathmorepaper #inkdrawing #inks #sketch #comicart #sketches #illustration #christmas — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3FFPRkM

Here's a #WIP shot of TRAPJAW from a big Masters Of The Universe piece i've been working on as a Christmas present for my dear ol' pal @jasonsbrown/@jasonbrownlab. I pulled my favorite elements from all the various MOTU villain designs from over the years, and tried to swirl 'em all together in my own way. I'm excited to share more updates, because i am *super* happy with how this one has been panning out. . #trapjaw #heman #hemanandthemastersoftheuniverse #mastersoftheuniverse #motu #villains #badguys #skeletor #ink #inkdrawing #raphaelbrushes @raphael_brushes #strathmorepaper @strathmoreart #sketch #sketches #drawing — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3pvWTCQ
