I do a lot of drawing that I never think are finished that end up hiding in folders on my computer, waiting for some mythical day when I’ll get an illustration “done.” In the spirit of not doing that anymore, here’s a drawing I did of the protagonist from the comic Ajala: A Series of …
Several times in my life, I have been mistaken for black. I’m white, just for the sake of context. Like, really white. Irish, Swedish, German, maybe even some French in there…? Not only that but, in terms of skin tone: I once had a white British dude tell me I needed some sun. Fucking pale, …
I co-create a book called Kid Code: Channel Zero with artist(s) Black Kirby (a.k.a. Stacey Robinson & John Jennings). Since Stacey and the J2 already had the art completed on the book when they gave it to me to write/letter (what’s sometimes called the Marvel Method), I decided we should all get a co-credit as …
Two pieces I made for the instupitious Afrofuturism exhibition Unveiling Visions: The Alchemy of the Black Imagination. The first is a logo for the fictional radio station WDRD, from Janelle Monáe’s album The Electric Lady. The second is a flyer for the Intergalactic Rap Battle hyped on a few tracks from Deltron 3030.

FYI: Back in 2010-2011, I used to blog about comics and race issues at blackcomicbook.com (which is no longer up, so if you want to look at it, to the Internet Wayback Machine with you). Due to a bit of unfortunate miscommunication, I didn’t save the website when it went down, and no one else …
I was fortunate enough to be able to draw illustrations for two episodes of the just-starting-up 6th season of the amazing hilarious dystopiatastic audio drama Our Fair City. This season ain’t no picnic, it seems…
I live not far from the town of Homer, IL, where they recently had their annual Soda Festival. I’ve never been myself, but I hear it is a thing to do here in East Central Illinois. However, like so many correct people on the Earth, I don’t drink soda, I drink pop. Because that is …
