Fight the criminals, chase the bad guys— You know the rest.
Wanted to talk a break from pages for a couple of minutes to break up the monotony. This design is more so geared towards my own preferences, not necessarily what’s in the book currently. Enjoy!

Virgil Hawkins/Static.
I would really like to bring this look back or at least some variation of it into the new run. I…..think I know what I’m gonna do. Stay tuned.

I wish that American comics understood that not every panel needs to have dialogue in it… especially during action scenes. You’re killing me.

This is all I have time for in between pages for Static. I’m very excited for the sequel.

We lost a giant.
Keiko Nobumoto has passed away. She was the screenwriter for Cowboy Bebop, creator of Wolf’s Rain, writer for Tokyo Godfathers and other great works. This is a heavy loss.

“Yeah, I did the whole “superhero” thing when I was a kid… shit ain’t cute.”
-Virgil Hawkins (2027)
I don’t know what possessed me to draw an older, worn out, college aged Virgil… but here we are.

Here is my Static Issue 6 Cover! For this cover I wanted to do something different and make it a wrap-around cover done traditional (mostly). This is my last Static Cover for the season and I believe will be released in February. I only have one more issue to draw now!
91
Here are all 6 of my Static covers. I tried to show some range with these by alternating from digital to traditional. Looking at them all together, there’s a lot more color than I expected. This was definitely a learning experience. Excited for what’s next.

If I was ever asked to do something else for DC that isn’t Static, it would have to be Batman Beyond. No exceptions. -“But Nik, what about- No. I know what I like. Sorry, I’ve been listening to CLOSE combined live by Richie Hawtin and I’m seeing dope scenes in my head.

It’s not a secret that manga has had influence over my run on Static. So as I wrap up the 6th issue, I wanted to draw something I’ve been wanting to draw for some time now; The Milestone Characters in the style of Akira Toriyama.
94
I have no intention of being subtle or slowing down with the references in Static. It’s fun. 🙂⚡️💪🏾 Just wait until you see what’s coming next!

STATIC ISSUE 5 releases January 25th!! 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

You know, a part of me wants to redraw the original Static origin (gang violence and all) but with a Ryoichi Ikegami flair to it. Just so y’all can have that. I might do that in my spare time if I get a chance.
