Quick sketch for a new poster image. Obviously inspired by the original 1980’s cover of Dungeon Module T…2(?): Tomb of Horrors. One of the classic dungeon crawl D&D adventures where DM’s didn’t have to worry about crazy things like play balance or party survival or “fair.” Compare to the original image… Replace random no-name PC’s […]

Clip Studio Practice: Super Inks and Color
This started out as a practice exercise to try to do some more traditional comic-style inks. As opposed to my usual style for Kickman and Java Jaguar which are more of a Cartoon-ish style (about midway between Silver Age X-men and 1970’s Archie comics). And there’s a quick Superman courtesy of Clip Studio Pro, rendered […]
Kickman 15×08
Criminal Minds #8 Classic Catch-22. If he’s a superhero then he has powers and flattens us. If he’s not a superhero we get busted for assault. Of course, if he is a superhero, he gets busted by the Hero Regulatory Commission for Criminal Rights Violations and probably some kind of ethics charge. So… who’s winning […]
Kickman: WIP
Work in Progress for next Kickman page. Hopefully I’ll have the colors and text done in time for Sunday’s new strip. Tomorrow afternoon I fly from Myrtle Beach to LAX. Then Sunday morning from LAX home to Honolulu. Then my days as a digital comic nomad will be over for the next few months. Inked […]
Java Jaguar 132
Java I’m sure had a heart-to-heart talk with “V-neck” about how frivolous lawsuits are a blight upon society. Java Jaguar is uploading today live from Longs, South Carolina! Just about 10-15 miles from Myrtle Beach. Beaches in general aren’t that big a deal for me because I was born and raised in Hawaii. Visiting my […]
Re-Green Lantern Vs Demogorgon
Stranger Things made Demogorgon mainstream… but that was the WRONG Demogorgon. Demogorgon is the two-headed demon prince of the Abyss and has been since 1st edition AD&D. Not a single tulip head but two baboon heads (except briefly in 3rd edition when someone decided that Demogorgon should have two hyena heads but we don’t talk […]
Kickman 15×06
Criminal Minds #6 This week’s Kickman was uploaded from Charlotte, North Carolina. As I continue my round-the-US world tour. See, I revamped the Java mobile into the Kick mobile. I also had a chance to attend a presentation by comic artist Andy Smith at the Main Library in downtown Charlotte. We just happened to stop […]
Kickman Delayed Because of Crisis Of Infinite Balloons
I am in Albuquerque, NM for the Balloon Fiesta, and because of close-packed activities and traveling haven’t got this week’s Kickman page completed. But, instead, here are a bunch of photos from ground level. There was some excitement after Mass Ascension. The Yoda balloon actually barely cleared the field fence and set down right in […]
Java Jaguar 130
Whoops! Forgot to post this strip, I totally forgot it was Wednesday today. Drove about 1000 miles in the last couple of days and lost track of time. Today’s Java is brought to you from Los Alamos, New Mexico. We will be here until tomorrow morning, then briefly visiting Santa Fe tomorrow on the way […]
Kickman 15×05
Criminal Minds #5 Shared this post using the free Wi-Fi at McDonalds in Camarillo, CA. Next week I’ll be in New Mexico… hopefully they’ve got the internets there. Whoever this mysterious, dashing, young doctor is… he seems to be digging deep into the secret thoughts of these super-powered convicts. But for what purpose? Will he […]
