Muckman and Joe Eyeball from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Sketched for Ashcan All-Stars.

A bi-yearly Christmas tradition, Cashew Kerry is a grotesque effigy of my cashew-loving father. This year's incarnation speaks from a pre-recorded sound box and lurks in pile of cashews. At some point, I'll link to a video of Cashew Kerry speaking.

CASHEW KERRY 2011:

Officer Downe: Bigger, Better Bastard Edition is now available is stores from Image Comics. I contributed a pinup. Go out and get this book!

Photographic evidence that Zomnibus Volume 2 (collecting We Will Bury You 1-4) is indeed finally in stores.

I was sent this photo of Grant the baby. He loves Hack/Slash #5!

This is me at Planet Comicon. I believe I'm drawing this sketch.

These cookies were baked by Little Lulu's Confections and decorated by local Kansas City comic creators at last year's Planet Comicon.

From left to right, the cookies were decorated by me, Jason Aaron, Kevin Mellon, Nathan Fox and Damont Jordan.

While looking through some old folders, I found a 2006 sketch of the Mothman design I used in Return to Point Pleasant. I thought it would be fun to do a new sketch of the same character. Both are posted below.

2006:


2011:

This is a M.O.D.O.K. sketch I did for William of Elite Comics. To commission a sketch, please email me here.

On the left is a digital sketch used for the Officer Downe pinup I posted earlier. On the right are the finished inks. When working on a drawing, I usually print a digital sketch, tighten it up with pencil, then add ink. Sometimes I scan the pencils, but I skipped that step here.

Here are two of the retro-style, Fletcher Hanks "Fantomah" pages we did for a four-page flashback in Hack/Slash #5. Mark Englert on colors and Crank on letters!

Hack/Slash #5 will be reprinted in the upcoming Hack/Slash Vol. 10: Dead Celebrities tpb, available for pre-order from Image.

Paul Bludgeon was a colossal robotic lumberjack who showed up in Hack/Slash #5. Here's a design sketch:

A couple of digital sketches of Tim Seeley's characters Jack Kraken and XIII:

A Pinhead design I did for something:

Sometimes I'll scan drawings while I'm in the process of inking them to get a feel for how they'll look in high contrast. I found this half-inked scan of a Hellraiser Cenobite on my computer and placed it next to the finished version.

Here's a panel from the crazy retro-style backup strip Tim Seeley, Brent Engstrom and I did for The Occultist #1 from Dark Horse.

This is the line art for the LOBO INC mock cover I did for the "DC FIFTY TOO" project. This is what I sent off to Mark Englert to color. Crank designed the logo. Scroll down the blog for the colored version.

My buddy Andy interviewed me at the New York Comicon for SciFi4me.com. We don't really say much.

I was on the Crankcast a couple of times in the last few months.

In June, I was on with my buddy Dennis Hopeless. Listen here.

In September, I was on with Dennis and Tommy Patterson. Listen here.

Next time I'm on, I'll talk about this guy:

I drew a backup story in Screamland #3 from Image Comics. I have a stack of them, so hit me up at a convention sometime!
