HAPPY SPIDER-MAN DAY! Had to show my mentor @TheChaseConley some love with his new design. I’ve been so busy with a Static that I hadn’t had a chance to draw it. I’m so glad it’s being well received. He deserves it. As usual, I aimed for a more cinematic feel.

If you’re a black creator you really should watch the Milestone Generations Documentary. It’s not just about comics, it’s about history. History that whether you know it or not, you’re a part of.

If you’re not black, please don’t lecture black people on the black experience and tell us what isn’t in our reality. It’s feckless and repulsive.

Here is my Nubia Cover. Apparently it’s out. I tried to present her like a deity, elegant and powerful. In some areas I think I was successful but in many areas I strongly feel I need improvement.
