More new commissions!

Here are a few more from my recent batch of commissions— thanks to everyone who’s ordered artwork from me! Please contact Sean at Athenaeum Comic Art (athenaeumcomicart@gmail.com) if you’re interested in either commissioning a piece from me, or if you’re interested in buying pages of original artwork from my books.

First, I did pieces of my two favorite X-Men characters as a set. Presenting Kitty Pryde (and Lockheed):

Paired with her soulmate Illyana Rasputina AKA Magik (in a worn-only-once “graduation costume” designed by my all-time fave Arthur Adams for the influential Uncanny X-Men Annual #10)":

And most satisfying of all, three Asian-American superheroines (Maps Mizoguchi, Silk, Cassandra Cain) combating the fascist forces of ICE, continuing a tradition dating back to Captain America’s early 1941 punchout of H*itler on the cover of his debut issue:

All of these are drawn in india ink and acrylic ink washes on bristol. Art is human-made as a testament to our own humanity. Fuck AI, fuck fascism.

Price update for new prints + DIANA preorders

I just mailed off the first batch of orders for my new signed print series— thank you so much!

This is a note that I’ve slightly adjusted the prices to account for shipping costs which were a bit higher than expected— the prints are now $15 each, or all 6 for $60. Thank you for your understanding and support— there are only about a half-dozen left of each print from this limited run, so definitely don’t sleep on em.

If you’d like to preorder copies of Diana, or the reissued editions of Come Again and Fall Through, you’ll find links to order via Bookshop, Barnes & Noble, Powell’s, Amazon, and more. You are also invited to order directly from your local comics shop or bookstore— thank you!

Come Again and Fall Through will be rereleased on September 15th, and Diana will be released on October 6th, with a debut for all at SPX in Rockville, MD on September 12-13!

6 new limited prints now available!

I have a limited run of 6 different 11”x17” signed prints available now!

These are each limited batches of 15— and if this trial run goes well I’ll do an additional printing. They’re available individually (see below) or as a bundle of all 6.

From my forthcoming book Diana, we have a print of Diana herself from the cover art:

There’s one of Jody from the pages of Diana, in a character-defining moment:

There’s a lovely, haunting Diana/Jody embrace from the back cover of Diana:

Prints of a commissioned illustration I did of the beloved X-Men character Magik, ruler of Limbo:

There’s a print of my cover art for The Twilight Zone #4 (and I have copies of the comic for sale as well):

And a print of a recent commissioned piece inspired by Tillie Walden’s graphic novel On a Sunbeam:

These prints are shipped flat, and they’re $12 each— but I’m also offering a bundle of all 6 prints for $50.

Thanks for your support and interest in my work! To purchase my original artwork, or to order a commissioned piece, please contact Sean at Athenaeum Comic Art (athenaeumcomicart@gmail.com).

Magik commission & X-Men gallery

Here’s my most recent commission: classic New Mutants-era Magik, complete with the Sienkiewicz sword.

More commissioned pieces on the way— and if you’re interested in one of your own, holler at Sean at Athenaeum Comic Art (athenaeumcomicart@gmail.com) and we’ll make it happen.

Here’s a little gallery of beloved X-Men pieces I’ve done over the years— an official movie poster, some personal fan art and various commissions.

Shadow season update.

It’s the most wonderful season of all, as shadows grow longer— here’s what I’ve been up to:

  • I’m wrapping up the last batch of these commissioned pieces, having a blast and kinda leveling up along the way. Above is my favorite: a Magik piece with Illyana as ruler of Limbo, reigning over the skulls of vanquished demonic captors, manipulators, and abusers. Three more to finish in this batch. I’ll open up a new round of commissions early next year via Athenaeum Comic Art— you can email Sean (athenaeumcomicart@gmail.com) to snag a spot for a custom piece, or to buy a page from one of my books. (Shoutout to everyone requesting X-Men characters for these pieces!)

  • I just finished a variant cover (below) for Jeff Lemire’s fantastic series, Minor Arcana— issue number and release date will be updated once it’s set! Look out for my taking on art duties for an issue or two sometime next year.

  • I’m writing and drawing a single-issue story in The Twilight Zone #4, coming early next year from IDW— about to jump into lettering and inking this week. More to share soon! What a thrill to make an official Twilight Zone story—it’s also one of the most challenging creative exercises of my life.

  • I just finished an 8-page story with Nobel Prize-winning climate scientist Dr. David Easterling for Islands In The Sky, a star-studded comics anthology of collaborations with survivors of Hurricane Helene, as the inaugural release from the Appalachia Comics Project. You can pre-order a copy here.

  • About to do the final edits, cover, and packaging for my next graphic novel, Diana, which will be out next fall— I’ll have plenty to share about this book as soon as we officially announce it early in 2026.

I’m sure there’s more, but considering (waves generally at the terror, desperate fascism, and likely social collapse which will leave a huge number of people utterly unprepared, despite a decade’s worth of clear warnings from experts, journalists, activists, and academics), this will do for now. I hope everyone’s maintaining all right, showing up in real space with their neighbors to speak up and look out for each other, and summoning all the courage and perseverence we’ve got.

Love to humanity. Death to fascism.

new year at the drawing table.

This year brings the (hopefully broadly acknowledged) understanding that social media is not a permanent outlet when we are its product. Back to making more drawings for the enjoyment of drawing itself, as I continue inking my adaptation of Lies My Teacher Told Me.

Also on the horizon in 2023: my recently-completed graphic novel Fall Through will be released around August! Official announcement in the coming months.

In the meantime, I kicked off the year with this Kate Pryde & Lockheed piece! Kate is my all-time favorite member of the X-Men.

And while I’m at it, here are a few more: Illyana/Magik, and Psylocke/Wolverine and Storm drawings from the very beginning of the pandemic.
