Cherry Capital Comic Con 2026

 

I have been so gosh darned busy the past few days that I almost forgot to post about this weekend. Yikes! So, I will be set up in Artists Alley at the Cherry Capital Comic Con at the Grand Traverse Resort in Acme (Traverse City), MI the entire weekend. I'll have books, comics, prints, stickers, original art, including AP sketch cards, etc.

Stop on by, if you are in the area! There will be plenty of cool artists there!

The Gentoo Scratchboard Process

 

My latest Substack is up and has a brief description of the process of creating the gentoo penguin scratchboard. You can check it out HERE.

This Saturday, May 9th from 3-5pm there will be an opening reception for the When Time Stumbled exhibit, featuring artwork from the book of the same name. A book of poetry by Mary Stebbins Taitt, honoring the life of her brother Tom, who passed in the fall.

I have two pieces in the book, but only one will be shown at the exhibition. Below is that illustration, all framed up courtesy of Rainy Day Art Supply.

The show actually begins tomorrow, but the reception will be on Saturday.

Color Ink Studio is located at 20919 John R Rd, Hazel Park, MI 48030.

Belleville Drink N Draw April 2026

5x8

ink in sketchbook

Last Wednesday was the April edition of the Belleville Drink N Draw at Egan's Pub. I had Bangers & Mash for dinner... Joy struck up a conversation with some motorcycle gang members, then one of them struck up a conversation with us... there was talk of tattoos... then Joy became Bangers & Mash. She was destined to become Bangers & Mash or Internally Vulgar... B&M looked better on the forearms. 

There's always good conversation on sketch night.
