Quite a variety, this year...


Dear lord I was just all OVER the place, subject-wise, in 2019. Productive year: got another graphic novel published, some rewarding commission work with some delightful new customers, an all-out #inktober, and some awesome comic cons and in-store appearances.


Many blessings upon you all in 2020 my dears. May we get what we want, may we get what we need, but may we never get what we deserve! -clink- ;)

Megatron won't allow him to Tweet, anymore

Just some goofyness (and, I guess, political commentary). Not particularly deep, but it was fun to do. A silly whiling-away-the-hours-in-an-airport doodle that was prompted by hearing Mark Hamill reading aloud someone's Tweets in his "Joker" voice. For some reason it put me in mind of the late Chris Latta:

Happy Birthday to one of my Greatest Motivators

Happy Birthday Henry. Acrylic on canvas, 16 in. x 20 in.



GETTING STUFF THE FUCK DONE: a Henry Rollins Motivational Approach
Originally posted at sizemore.co.uk


Step 1
Find a picture of Henry Rollins looking angry (this is very easy; see above painting)

Step 2
Print and cut out the picture of Henry Rollins looking angry.

Step 3
Keep the picture of Henry Rollins looking angry with you at all times.

And that’s it.

Henry is a guy who gets things the fuck done. He sings, he writes, he acts, he tours, he hosts TV shows, he goes to war zones, he lifts very heavy things... In fact he NEVER FUCKING STOPS. If there's ever a Romero-style undead uprising then the Rollins zombie will be easy to spot. He'll be the one making like a Zack Snyder deadite while the rest of us lumber around the wrong way on the escalators.

Every single second of every single day he gets things the fuck done. And he HATES people who don't.

Happy Birthday Doctor!

Doubling as a Throwback Thursday AND as a celebration of the birthday of Tom Baker!



Yeah, that’s me at my first-ever Doctor Who convention in November 1983 –literally days before the much-anticipated airing of the 20th-anniversary episode "The Five Doctors." Mr. Baker then spent the next couple of days doing the tourist bit in Boston, as well as visiting Lexington Green and Concord Bridge. Local legend has it that he approached the first American he saw at the bridge --site of the famous "shot heard round the world" in 1775-- and shook that person’s hand with an apologetic "Sorry about all that you know."

Meet my "Jovian Swashbuckler"



Pastel and coloured pencil, 11" x 14". Been more than 20 years since I painted it but I'm still darned proud of it. Thank you Karen!

"The unspoken truth of humanity is..."

My last piece of 2016. A reinterpretation of JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY no. 85, featuring the first appearance by Loki Laufeyson. Dialogue from 2012's THE AVENGERS, by Zak Penn and Joss Whedon. Far and away my favourite scene from that entire movie.

Happy Bill Of Rights Day.

Happy Bill Of Rights Day my friends. Thank you Patrick Henry, George Mason, Richard Henry Lee, George Clinton, and all you other cranky suspicious old Antifederalist rascals. If it weren't for you gentlemen we wouldn't have GOTTEN 'em.

My take on an old "Nick Fury" comic book cover from the early 1970's

Dear Nazis (and to hell with your expression "alt-right," by the way): you do NOT get to claim Steve for yourselves. Nor Sam. Nor Peggy. Nor Nick. Nor even Bucky.



You can have Red Skull; he's all yours.

Something compelled me to draw this

I've currently got seventeen projects in various stages of completion (trust me, I counted them), and yet for some reason it was very important that I draw this.

NOYOUMOVE_PEGGY_2016_web-friendly.jpg


Another of my 1940's-style comic book cover recreations, but with a couple of twists. First, this Captain America cover from "1947," while still including Cap's compelling and brilliant "Civil War" dialogue by J. Michael Straczynski (Amazing Spider-Man no. 537), instead takes a cue from this summer's movie adaptation and plays to the film's suggestion that it was in fact Peggy Carter who first gave voice to Mark Twain's famous sentiment. Hope you like it!

Happy Birthday Paul McGann!

"Breathe deep. You feel that pounding in your heart, that tightness in the pit of your stomach? The blood rushing to your head? You know what that is? That's adventure. The thrill and the fear and the joy of stepping out into the unknown. That's why we're all here, and that's why we're alive!"

Remember our Veterans this coming week.



A very early pen and ink piece from the early nineties, back when I was still developing an illustrative style. Remember our Veterans this coming week.

Prove that your concern for U.S. veterans is more than just election-year talk. Put your money where your mouth is.
