Somewhere between Mike Mignola, A Fistful of Dollars, and Johnny Cash’s Ghost Riders in the Sky, rides the gray man, consequential king, Joseph Bones, Shadow of Death! A lone gun story silhouetted against the surreal desert valley where ghost and ghoul, witch and prophet, mystery and dream, ebb in and out. Joe Death and the Graven Image wanders the tombstoned road, poking at the fabric of life, loss, retribution, redemption, and the keys to paradise.
I was hired by Boom-Studios/Archaia, comic licensers of the Jim Henson Company, to write and illustrate one issue of their annual four-part Storyteller comic. The Storyteller was a TV show starring John Hurt as the main, frame character who retold the folklore of different cultures. Every year the comic has a theme such as Dragons, Giants, Witches, etc. This year the theme was Faeries and I loved diving into both the visual and folklore research in order to create this issue.
My issue is loosely based on various Danish folklore.
Jens K. Styve the creator of the Norwegian comic strip Dunce hired me to create a guest cover for his newest collection of English translated comic strips! This collection is mostly to do with his dog Brego. The cover and title is a parody on the classic Weird Science EC Comics.
A fun pin-up for Ben Bender’s all-ages comic Bëorn, campaigning on Kickstarter from April 6th to May 6th.
Fan art for one of my favorite comics these days: Helena Crash, written by Fabian Rangel Jr., illustrated by Warwick Johnson Cadwell, and lettered by Ironbark. The premise of the comic is way out there, but the characters and relationships are wonderfully believable and lovable. It was only four issues but I hope they get a chance to make more with this girl! Beautiful stuff.
