I am building a secret diary Patreon. You can read this unredacted there. Diary comics, sketchbook mayhem, stories, art, and pop culture rabbit holes. Rebuilding my life in real time. No corporate mask.

9 years going to the secret club and I am profoundly glad I did it.

You don't buy an F1 car to commute to your co-working space. Most startups aren't ready for that big agency spend & that's cool. What you need right now is a visual presence that's crisp and pro-grade. That's the job. I get you there, fast. Let's talk. YourManMark.com

I liked Tim Sale and Jeph Loeb's Yellow, Blue and Grey*. Did y'all read and like their Gambit mini? Did you pick up White and like it? I'm such a big fan of Sale and yet those two I never read. *Long Halloween too

You don't need a half-million-dollar agency. Yet. You do need a brand though. Yesterday. There's a time and a place to spend that kind of capital. What you need first is a pro-grade brand. F1 fast. Here's how I do it 👇

Looking for a motion designer for a sizzle reel. I'm the brand creative director for an early-stage tech startup. Storyboards and vector assets drafted. Real talk on budget: modest, but expectations are fair and they pay on time. Need clean, pro-grade work. DM me.

Lately, all day long I hear kids laughing like they've discovered Disneyland. They're in a parking lot. For 2 weeks every summer, the church behind my apt hosts a kids' camp. It is not fancy. It's mostly asphalt. But someone told them, "Fun is happening here." So it is. It's just the best, man.

Thursday, July 16th :: comics are back. ✨ We're gathering to talk two issues, no gatekeeping. Missed the books? Doesn't matter. Pull up anyway. Plenty of comics to chat about. East Bay. Oakland. Berkeley. Tap in, nerd friends. Every Third Thursday

Today is JRJR is Dope Day. Post your favorite JRJR work.

Aaron Douglas was an illustrator and designer. Aaron Douglas fused Art Deco, African masks, and the smoke of Harlem jazz clubs into stunningly original designs. Well worth a Google dive. Happy Juneteenth!

GOOD VIBES COMIC BOOK CLUB 6/18, 7PM @ Kona Club Piedmont. East Bay California. We are reading Avengers: Armageddon #1 + Absolute Catwoman 💥

What if Heat starred Moon Knight instead of ponytailed, pre-AI Val Kilmer. Real LA. Sodium lights. Bad decisions. 2am silence with a body count. Went gremlin mode: digital pencils → real inks → colors that wouldn’t stop. Did I nail it or does Moon Knight just need a ride home from Silver Lake.

The X-Men's favorite sub: Havok, Outback Era. Classic costume supremacy, Goblin Queen chaos, and why Alex Summers only really works when he’s a little doomed. 👉 Havok Was Never Meant to Be Alpha buff.ly/is7Tn2Z

I love @kneecap32 and the absolute chaotic justice they’re putting into the world right now. I made a poster for the Fenian Tour happening. Just for funsies but if Kneecap wants to use it, HIT ME UP.  lol Kneecap got bars, beats, and backbone. Say it with your chest or don’t say it at all. 🟢🟠⚪

Marvel, I am once again politely asking for a cover assignment. Dave Cockrum designed Nightcrawler’s costume decades ago and it’s still perfect. Clean, iconic, no notes. Some designs just last. Anyway. Nightcrawler. Bamf, buddies.

Monday but still Monday. Keeping the social story rolling. Building comics. Writing grants. Being a dad. Being a human while **GESTURES** this is happening.

Built a serious content system but sometimes time is tight and Imma post vibes. No edits, too much coffee, and the reminder that my youth was wasted. We didn't have Only Fans, friends. Just MySpace. Quick updates on my Minneapolis, TWIN STAR moves, and, of course, Moon Knight.

Comics > doomscrolling. Fantastic Four #5 + good people. Feb 19. 7pm. Kona Club. No gatekeeping. Just vibes. buff.ly/HhZTxjy
