New Character Sketch of One of my first Original Characters

To the extent that people know my work as an artist, they know me primarily as a freelance illustrator. But before I ever managed to get anyone to pay me for sequential work, certainly before I ever got my hands on any digital coloring tools, I created this character and wrote, drew and lettered comics (in pencil only) for my own pleasure and the entertainment of a few of my high school classmates.

This is my first time drawing him in over twenty years. It felt good...

John Oliver Talks About the National Weather Service, and You Should Care

"Because everything Trump Does is designed to destroy the government from the inside."

"It's Elementary. They Want Us ALL GONE Eventually." -Nas

I catch a fair amount of flack for occasionally depicting cops as bad people in my comics, or for saying things my conservative friends think are unfair to so-called "good cops" on social media. I never really feel the need to defend my positions, because I know that now that they cannot hide, the "bad apples" will show their colors and make my point for me.
