Here’s a Rogue pinup I just finished— an all-time favorite of mine!
Here she’s on the same riverbank where her powers manifested with her first teenage kiss, depicted in an old Classic X-Men backup story that was very influential on my early comics-making brain.
I’ll have this original for sale next month at OAX as well— more surprises to come!
Here’s my finished John Lewis/X-Men mashup piece! He’s paired with Kitty Pryde and Nightcrawler as moral cores of the team (and two of my top five), as well as people of faith. This piece will be auctioned next month at OAX (Original Art Expo) in Orlando, thanks to the folks at Comic Art Fans.
If original art is your thing, I hope to see you there!
I’m honored to be a special guest at OAX, a show dedicated to original artwork from an incredible lineup of cartoonists and illustrators!
OAX will be happening February 20-22 at the DoubleTree Hotel (5780 Major Blvd.) in Orlando, FL. I’ll be selling original pages, illustrations, and a handful of commissions at my table— and as a bonus, my art dealer Athenaeum Comic Art will have more artwork of mine at their booth as well!
I’ll also be making an original piece to be auctioned off over the weekend, with a portion of the auction price going to benefit the Hero Initiative and the Jack Kirby Museum.
More info as it’s confirmed!
Most important of all, let’s continue to work individually and collectively to halt the spread of fascism— and to preserve the remains of democracy in our society. Let’s look out for our neighbors— especially the ones we don’t know. Let’s continue fighting back against the immense multifaceted harms of artificial intelligence. Let’s recognize that social media does not provide freedom, real communication, or opportunity— it is not the future — and chart a new course.
I’ve been continuously at work nearly every day for over a year, so here’s a roundup of many things on the horizon in 2026:
I wrote and drew The Twilight Zone #4, which will be out Feb. 4th from IDW. If you live in Indiana, I’ll be doing a signing for its release at Bloomington’s own Vintage Phoenix Comics (114 E. 6th) on Saturday, Feb. 7th from 2-4pm. See you there!
The biggest news is the release of my next graphic novel, Diana, in early fall 2026! Expect an official announcement in a month or so— along with a long-awaited reissue of one of my previous Eisner-nominated books. I’ll be traveling a lot during the fall for the release of Diana, so please write me (seemybrotherdance@yahoo.com) if you’d like me to be a special guest at your comic/book expo— I’m already making plans. Thank you!
In February, I’ll be opening up another ten slots for commissioned artwork via Athenaeum Comic Art— I had a blast doing these last year and really enjoyed drawing the requested subjects! The previous slots were all filled within a day, so don’t sleep on this.
Sometime in 2026 will see the release of Islands In the Sky from the Appalachia Comics Project— I collaborated with Nobel Prize-winning climate scientist Dr. David Easterling on an 8-page story about his experiences and knowledge surrounding Hurricane Helene’s catastrophic hit on his community. You can still preorder one (and get more info) here!
I’ll have an exhibit of my artwork going up in January at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, with an event/talk/signing in April.
Five March pieces of mine currently in the “Imprinted: Illustrating Race” exhibit will be moving to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, TN this spring— stay tuned for the details.
I’ll be doing a volley of events in Cleveland, OH this March 20-21, including a live drawing session as artist-in-residence at the Cleveland Museum of Art, as well as an author event & signing. Stay tuned!
I’m quietly working on a comic with friend and lyrical torchbearer Jonathan Vance from the singularly influential band Moss Icon, and hope to self-publish the first issue in 2026.
That’s all I’ve got— see you out there!
Death to fascism. Light and love to humanity.
If you’ve been interested in buying some original artwork from me, all of my work is 20% off from now through Dec. 1st over at Athenaeum Comic Art— thanks for checking it out!
Next weekend I’ll be at table W64 at SPX (Bethesda North Marriott, North Bethesda MD), and I’m bringing 10 copies of the long-out-of-print, Eisner-nominated 2018 book Come Again. All are in good shape, but some are used library copies, so I’ll be selling them at a bit of a discount. Come get em while you can!
I’ll also be bringing a few pieces of original artwork for sale at the show. For a broader selection of my original pages, check out what’s for sale at Athenaeum Comic Art— thanks!
I have five pieces of original artwork from the March trilogy on display as a part of the Norman Rockwell Museum’s “Imprinted: Illustrating Race” exhibition at the Delaware Art Museum (2301 Kentmere Parkway, Wilmington DE 19806) from October 18th, 2025 to March 1st, 2026.
The museum is open Wednesdays through Sundays from 10am-4pm.
My pieces will be alongside work by Norman Rockwell, Thomas Nast, Jerry Pinkney and Brian Pinkney, Arthur Burdette Frost, Romare Bearden, Emory Douglas, Howard Pyle, Loveis Wise, Rudy Gutierrez, Robyn Philips Pendleton, Zetta Elliot, and more.
After the exhibit closes at Delaware Art Museum, it is scheduled to move to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, TN. More info on that as it’s confirmed!
I’ve got a new batch of original artwork available at Athenaeum Comic Art— pages from March, Lies My Teacher Told Me, Fall Through, Black Hammer, Scholastic, the Wicked Witch of the West, and more.
Thanks for your support and your wise investment in art!
All my original artwork is 25% off through the end of the year over at Athenaeum Comic Art— including those pricey March pages, so now’s your chance if you’ve been considering it!
If there’s a specific page from any book you’re interested in, just ask us and I’ll let you know if it’s available. Thanks!
My original artwork is available through the excellent Sean at Athenaeum Comic Art, and for Athenaeum’s third birthday I discussed my work, process, and path in a video interview last night. You can watch it here— enjoy!
I’ve got a bunch of original pages and extra illlustrations from my new graphic novel Fall Through up for sale via Athenaeum Comic Art here. Thanks for your support!
You can order signed & sketched copies of Fall Through directly from me here— and if you’re going to San Diego Comic Con, buy copies at Abrams booth 1216. I’ll be signing on Sunday, July 28th from 11:00am-1:00pm at Autograph Area table 10. See you there!
I have a ton of new pages available for sale at Athenaeum Comic Art, and from now until Xmas I’ll be donating $100 from each piece sold to Doctors Without Borders, one of several medical and humanitarian organizations facing missile strikes and military assault during the siege in Gaza, in their ongoing efforts to provide crucial medical care and basic human services to the hundreds of thousands of civilians caught in the horror of this ongoing assault.
I join hundreds of millions of people across the globe in calling for an immediate cease-fire, and in strongest opposition to both Netanyahu’s government and Hamas.
Buy a page (or two), and for each I’m happy to email you the receipt of my donation. Simple and direct. Thank you!
If you’re interested in buying any of my original artwork, now’s a great time: everything available at Athenaeum Comic Art is 20% off until the end of October! This includes the pricier March pages as well as Sweet Tooth, Black Hammer, Two Dead, Come Again, Any Empire, The Silence of Our Friends, The Year of the Beasts, and Swallow Me Whole.
After that, we’ll be restocking with some new originals, including some art from Run and Save It For Later, some X-Men pieces, Nib illustrations, and more. Stay tuned!
I’m coming out of my cave next month!
Back in my hometown of North Little Rock, Arkansas: It’s a major joy to announce that part of my Soophie family will be reuniting on June 3rd to cover a few Trusty songs during Mutants of the Monster Fest— a tribute show for one of the most formative bands of my life, and as a memorial for beloved Trusty drummer Bircho, who passed away in 2020.
Our unit will be covering songs from Trusty’s self-titled 1990 LP, a four-piece with members of Deadbird, Pallbearer, Universe, Tem Eyos Ki, R.I.O.T.S., and half of Soophie Nun Squad! This is my first show in 12 years, and I’m already running through songs in my sleep each night.
And Trusty themselves are playing, with Marcus Lowe on drums!
This tribute will be immediately following a book event I’m doing with fellow author Kim Kelly (Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor)— both at Refuge Church in North Little Rock; book talk at 2:30 pm, show at 4 pm. This will be my first time to ever discuss my forthcoming graphic novel, Fall Through— which is appropriate, since it revolves around the 1990s Arkansas punk underground. See you there!
CORRECTION: I’ve updated the text of this post with the correct event times— please disregard the times stated on the flyers above. Turns out the show must end by 5pm— thanks!
Then on June 10-11, I’m a guest at A2CAF at the Ann Arbor District Library— I’ll be slangin books there at my table, as well as doing a panel/interview. Athenaeum Comic Art will also be at my table during a two-hour window TBD, selling some of my original artwork if anyone’s interested. More details to be added to the events page!
If you’re interested in original artwork, I have a few dozen pages for sale via Atheneum Comic Art— this includes pages from most of my pre-2020 books. Listings are being updated currently, and there should be a good sampling of Sweet Tooth and Black Hammer pages added in the next few days as well! All pages are signed and dated by the year in which they were drawn.
(To prevent undue shock, please be aware that my March pages are considerably more expensive than my other work. This has always been the case whenever they’ve been available for sale, and I’m not in a hurry to part with them. Thanks for understanding.)
I’ve teamed up with Sean at Athenaeum Comic Art to begin selling some of my original artwork for the first time since 2015— currently available are some pages from Two Dead, Come Again, Black Hammer, March, Sweet Tooth, The Year of the Beasts, The Silence of Our Friends, Any Empire, Swallow Me Whole, and a few one-off and unpublished pieces.
Athenaeum will be publicly launching these art sales in the coming weeks on their site (and please check out the artwork from the fantastic roster of fellow cartoonist friends!). Until then, if you’re interested please contact Sean at the Athenaeum site for inquiries. Thank you!
Here’s a 14”x9” Calvin & Hobbes piece I drew (featuring the injured baby raccoon— a storyline which profoundly impacted me as a kid), which is up for auction to raise money for San Francisco’s Cartoon Art Museum.
If you find yourself in the Atlanta airport, go check out this amazing installation honoring John Lewis— featuring my original page from March: Book Three, next to the legendary “Because Of You, John” autograph from Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration!
