Acceptance
Dream: Sean was a wiry young man of 22 years. He was a new friend. He pulled his shirt over his chest and stood there facing me. “I want you to draw me,” he said. Goosebumps spread on my arms. I then realized that I was standing there without a shirt as well. Worried that […]
Blink
The first time that I read about Blink (Clarice Ferguson) was in “The Phalanx Covenant” back in 1994. It was one of those Marvel crossovers where you had to buy so many different comic titles to get the whole story. I remember going broke to get those. I was pretty invested in the story. SPOILERS […]
Hands
Ren Morrison + Eric Demeter Collaboration In 2015, Eric Demeter was interested in doing a collaboration about hands.

Chamber
The first time I read about the character Chamber (Jonothon Evan Starsmore) it was in the Marvel comic Generation X back in 1994. He possessed the ability to cast energy blasts from his chest. In the artwork though, his face was always obscured too. Either covered up or on fire (like in my drawing). I […]
Backhanded
Dreamt that my mother had to look after myself and my half-sister. Why? I have no idea. I’m old now and she is well, a young adult. My half-sister was screaming about things that I couldn’t understand. Suddenly, my mother backhanded my half-sister in the face. I tried to break up the fight, but I […]
