how I got started...
i started my career coloring comics in-house for wildstorm/DC comics in la jolla CA in 2000, i answered phones there, etc. for 6 1/2 years until I got good enough to draw comics full-time. great place great people 👍 I left the studio in 2007 after years of practicing more mainstream art (not what came naturally! ), and was able to freelance full-time from then on, mostly for DC comics a little for Marvel and other companies. some of the projects I worked on were Friday the 1

how to refill your brushpen
I've made some videos over the years on how to refill your pens and brushpens , i've put them on youtube, figured i'd put them here too :) how to refill a micron! use intill the tip sucks :) you refill a tombow brushpen the same way. those are my fave. here's ink for my pilot preppy, they're a little fussy starting sometimes. but great if you use them a lot. if you leave them alone for a few days, you have to dip the tip in water and play around with it. :(

some financials and numbers of my last book launch
Mutie Spawn Of The Monster Bomb is still really just a handful of days old, so i can't judge anything by that, but here's some thoughts I had and posted a couple days ago on social about my the announcement, I'll post them here with some additional thoughts I think it's important for everyone to have a realistic view on the numbers and sales that other people bring in, because it will help themselves. Something that will help other indie artists. 😊👍 "just some inside baseba

finally doing MUTIE spawn of the monster bomb!💣 💥❤️
this is Lemy, this and my comments on INSTA are the first public post I've made of this little guy since his creation four or five years ago. The book is finally getting made❤️🔥 it's one of the biggest projects I've ever started, and it all flowed naturally, I have a stack of maybe 200 pages of art, a half dozen or a dozen characters on each page. Maybe 500 or 1000 characters. No idea. But it flowed quickly, probably over the course of a month, and then I went back to oth

New still secret project
This is one of the big projects I've been working on casually for the last several years. I think I started the sketches like in 22 maybe 21. And I just kept going. I kept building characters and building the world out and it's one of the biggest projects I have character wise, I just kept creating. It was a blast. I have hundreds and hundreds of characters in this project. I have hundreds of stacks of different projects and all of them are like 20 pages of sketches or 40 pag

terrible tabbi taking off🔥 who needs ads
I came out with her first book several months ago. 80 pages full color, and it did pretty good on launch. But this last month I've had a couple of REELS's takeoff on Instagram. I created a secondary account on Instagram as a back up in case I ever have problems with my first page, and at the time I only had 200 followers and I posted a REEL of TABBI and it got 20,000 views 50,000 views 200,000 views within a few days, now it's up to like 550,000 views.

New free e-book on my site
I just posted a new e-book on my site for free. It's an experiment. I wrote it and drew it in a week and put it up there to see if I can up my digital book game. A digital books have been doing well and I'm really excited about that. So I want the experience to be even better for customers. I pretty much just have PDFs for my books right now. So I tried this one as an an EPUB. Also, I drew it to fit your phones and tablet screens better. One or two panels per page. Rather tha

New OC
Still playing around with her colors. These are some flats, before the rendering, I wanted to post here first for the people that come to my site. I posted a shot of her green on social, i mostly picked that color because I have a character in my upcoming ANTH book that's blue. buuuuuut Blue just kinda feels right for this one. we'll see how I feel in a few days!😬 you kinda have to roll with it, and let your subconscious feel what works best. When you start making art deci

new lady
I create more characters and books than social media can handle😑 I only post a quarter of what I do? I don't think patreon's the answer, I don't like the idea of creating things that aren't gonna be seen by everybody or can't be. And then having to or wanting to collect and publish those things at a later date, because that steps on the toes of your patrons. i'll see if I can bring more traffic here to the site/blog. It's something that I own, not controlled by an algorithm

One of the ladies I keep returning to over the years, super fun to draw. when you've been drawing muscles for decades, apparently this is what you do. Play around with shapes, abstract anatomy
