Another thing about this book — it absolutely goes without saying that I would have no career or intimate professional attachment to
#WonderWoman
without the profound influence of
@georgepereznet
on my career and soul. Every piece of art I make is in some way a tribute to him.
My hand! (An anecdote — the camera was over my hand during the shoot so I couldn’t see what I was writing! This took 6 takes — and we used the last one, I’m pretty sure!)

A couple months back,

asked me to do a variant cover focused on

run, on which I worked 3x! W/my gig at

So it’s official!

So there are a million cool things about a life in comics & being a caretaker of Wonder Woman’s mythology, but getting this from WW director
@PattyJenks
— who I legit admire, & who fucking awes me — reminds me just how fantastic and rarified a world I live in. Mindblowing.
Hey!
@Marvel
just shared my
#BlackCat
#Pride
variant cover, due out in a few weeks, so I’m sharing the B & W version (with her hair zhooshed up for Twitter), drawn in
@Procreate
. This might be the first time I’ve drawn her for publication! Enjoy!
Just stumbled onto this; art from a rejected proposal featuring multiple Wonder Womans. I’ve always argued permutations of the Amazon princess are distinct enough to be different characters entirely and I draw and write them as such.
@DCComics
Wow. McCarthy literally today said this was a lie and just a few hours later the tape with his voice from his mouth proves THAT was a lie. Incredible.
@GOPLeader
ought to be ashamed. Republicans, your leaders think you are dumb. Let’s be done with them.
Omigod, I just found this copy of a drawing I did of various mythological gods from Feb 1991 — just months before I got hired to do my first work for
@DCComics
. And now, 30 years later, I’m still drawing the gods — in
#WWHistoria
.
An obsession which has lasted 30+ years…
30 years ago this month I got my first gig at
@dccomics
, working on
#WonderWoman
’s 50th anniversary crossover; three decades later, I’m wrapping
#WWHistoria
& got this fab gift box from DC celebrating WW’s 80th anniversary. Feels very full circle. Dreams do come true, kids!

To live in an isolate oasis and survive as they did, defiantly, and to choose to do so in the way they did as depicted, is the most queer thing they could have done in a world so bleak and so anti-queer, in its way.
It’s crazy to me that I used to draw these huge groups scenes like it was totally normal.
As ever, these kinds of images were inspired by an homages to the master of such group shots,
@georgepereznet
— perpetuating a tradition he perfected, if not established.
It’s so boggling to think about my 16 YO brain being absolutely consumed with these re-designs of
#Ares
and
#Hippolyta
— and then being able to draw them as tribute to my artistic hero, and be included with so many other icons? What a damn honor.
@georgepereznet
My issue w/the Pa Kent scene is that it showcases a father who’d rather die than have his son come out of the closet; who raised a son so fearful of that disclosure Clark watches Pa die rather than revealing his truth (which he was fast enough to do w/out outing himself anyway).

commission I completed a bit back. Was futzing with a color version but had to backburner that get back to the day job. Sharing the B&W here though ‘cause I like it. :)

I just opened my copies of my

and
@DCComics
did an *incredible* job on this collection. It’s an amazing time capsule & a symbol of a life-long dream realized. Lots of creative highs & lows, but every page is filled with love for Wonder Woman and her world!
@mat_johnson
I remember being uninsured a few years ago for a couple of months and spending $800+ a month on insulin. Thank god I could but I was like — how do people without insurance survive?!
@woahitsjuanito
“However flawed Druckmann’s characters are…they aren’t exclusively defined by their queerness, having motivations and desires that extend beyond their romances.”
It is telling that you equate queerness with romance, as opposed to a worldview, a way of bodies navigating space.
At the end of every day, let’s appreciate a great comic book artist. Today:
@JorgeJimenezArt
! Jorge Jimenez is one of DC’s best and brightest over the past few years. Super Sons really put him on the map, but Justice League and Batman prove he can hang with the biggest guns.
Feels like now if aliens attacked NYC and the Avengers rallied to save it a third of the country would either call the whole thing a hoax or cheer on its destruction and mock the Avengers as coastal elites out to tank the economy
I rarely beg anyone to buy something I’ve worked on — but wow, I hope you pick this up. Everyone worked their asses off to make something truly special. I think it’s really beautiful!
I saw that my variant cover for
#TheEternals
was released yesterday, so here‘s the B&W digital art before it was colored by the amazing Frankie D’Armata. Drew this a few months back; always love tackling characters I’ve never drawn before.

is a brooding genre piece in which the superhero trappings of cape and cowl, Batmobile and cool gadgetry are folded into the grimy noir textures of an intricately plotted detective story, writes THR's chief film critic

Please please please — we’ve put our heart and soul into this book — and tried to make it an experience you can read again and again! We hope you order lots of them —!
These promo pages from
@Philjimeneznyc
for WONDER WOMAN HISTORIA: THE AMAZONS are absolutely mind-boggling. Orders are due this Sunday, do NOT miss this book.
Got my COVID test back; as expected, I tested positive for antibodies (I had been sick for about 5 days in early April: fever, body ache, terrible fatigue, but nothing like so many I know have experienced). Amazing how having information like this is so helpful —
I hate it when people tweet, “I teared up watching this” because it never feels quite genuine but Omigod my eyes welled up with utter joy and amazement watching this
Did an interview today where I spoke about why I love
#DonnaTroy
, & how the character spoke to me as a queer person (in maybe unexpected ways). I wasn’t as articulate as I’d’ve liked, but I was reminded again how much certain iterations of that character speak to me *so* much.
