Poster I designed for Where Shit Happened, the Speak in Tongues book release events. Speak in Tongues was a crazy DIY space in Cleveland from 1994 - 2001 and this book is an incredible document of what it was. I wrote a little about my process for this here: www.patreon.com/posts/159038...

Poster for the Speak in Tongues book release day on Saturday August 15th. You got the book in the middle in front of a bar of overlapping fliers for shows at Speak in Tongues and then a bar with a photo of the interior and then a bar with a photo of a band playing a show.

Cleveland! I’ll be drawing from 6:30 - 7:30 tonight at Spaces Gallery’s Monster Drawing Rally with dozens of rad artists. This event always gets chaotic and fun as hell.

Digging through some old files and thought I'd share some old Melt posters I feel have different comic book cover qualities. The Firecracker Chicken was always superhero parody/homage. We never used the Smokey Russian poster because Russia invaded Ukraine so we switched it to "Turkey Reuben".

Poster for the Firecracker Chicken grilled cheese sandwich featuring superhero chickens in some ruins of a city.

Poster for the Fried Green Tomato BLT grilled cheese sandwich featuring sci-fi tomato guys riding sci-fi motorcycles with a giant head of a Bride of Frankenstein type character in the background.

I made this comic for Signal Cleveland about how to plant a tree. Cleveland is trying to boost the tree canopy and the Western Reserve Land Conservancy will hook you up with a tree but it turns out there's proper ways to plant them if you want them to survive. signalcleveland.org/how-to-plant...

A drawing of a young tree planted in the ground surrounded by mulch, with a deer guard and stakes. It says How To Plant a Tree by John G with research from Frank W. Lewis.

I was def trying to "pay homage" to this devastating banger of a Jim Lee cover when I drew this. They should fuck with comics logos more.

Pages drawn at @natepowell.bsky.social's Artist in the Atrium event at the Cleveland Museum of Art on Saturday. He had these sheets with panels ready to go. Drawing Spider-Man is a blast! But I think I'm maybe more suited to this other kind of comic that potentially makes no sense.

A comic page with 5 panels showing a light post where a bird is sitting until a web hits it and the bird flies off to reveal that Spider-Man is swinging by.

A comic page with 4 panels. A coffee cup, a black cat, an astronaut and then a close-up on the cat/
