Our Comic Book Club is back!

Good Vibes Comic Club is back this week, and if you’ve been thinking about joining, this is a great one to jump in. We’ve got a genuinely good group. Thoughtful readers, zero posturing, lots of curiosity, lots of laughs. It’s friendly, inclusive, and very much about enjoying the work rather than proving anything.

Signing at Cape & Cowl Comics Saturday

Yo Oakland! This Saturday from 1–3pm I’ll be at Cape & Cowl Comics slinging copies of BINARY like hot mixtapes out the trunk.

If you missed the Kickstarter, this is your shot to grab the comic everybody’s cool friend swears they found first. I’ll be there, pen in hand, ready to scribble my name on it like that actually makes it more valuable.

Come through, talk kaiju fights and sci-fi weirdness, and support one of the best shops repping local creators. See you Saturday!

Mail Day Part 1 & Mortal Kombat with Stocks

My son’s learning sax; I’ve cracked the Tallboy cheat code. Golden hour soda waters, people-watching at its peak, and an early exit before the hipster meat market begins. Also—after roughly one million delays—I FINALLY mailed out the first batch of BINARY comics. This week had it all: sunset rituals, Mortal Kombat with my bank, and the sweet sound of progress.

BINARY Update : Cats, Comics, Chaos

The comics have landed. I unboxed them like it was the Ark of the Covenant (no Nazis melted, just my cat Claire giving me one slow blink and walking away). They look incredible. Life on my end is loud and weird in the best way. A quick update.

Slurpee Cup Cyclops.

Byrne and Claremont made him classic. Morrison and Quitely made him cool. The X-Men’s middle manager has had one hell of an arc. Some X-Men musing, a check-in and a process pic .

A STORY ACCELERATOR. A NEW ERA of comic books. WE NEED BUILDERS. YOU IN?

This isn’t a job post. It’s a band flyer. I’m looking for creative partners. I’m building a comics app, but not like “cool, you can read PDFs on your phone” type stuff. More like: what if comics actually felt fun and collectible and alive on devices? It’s a new model for enjoying monthly comic book stories.

MOOD BOARD

Big robots. New comics. A whole lot of inspiration. This week, I’m pulling from the wild, violent world of Force Five for my next project, TIDAL, cracking the code on Clip Studio with some help from a cartooning samurai, and pushing BINARY closer to the finish line. Get a glimpse into where my head is at with the images I’ve snagged this week… 🚀🔥

3x3: Illustrators, Hoopers, and Severance’s Weird-Ass Offices

I like information in clusters of three. I’m a generalist by nature, so this helps me dig into the stuff I’m thinking about and frame it. It could be brand design, NBA fashion, or the latest comics creators. Whatever’s rattling around in my head this week—this is where it lands.

This week, it’s all over the place: illustrators whose work I admire, NBA players I will irrationally defend, and the unsettlingly perfect art direction of Severance.

3x3: FANTASTIC (SORRY) EDITION

Listen, my friend. Marvel movies had me in a chokehold for YEARS. But after Endgame, I was done. Like Steve Rogers at the end I was just tapped out. Good luck, y’all. Then I saw that new Fantastic Four teaser and damn it, I felt something. So let’s talk about what makes Marvel’s First Family so damn cool in this week’s 3x3

RE$O₦A₦CE

Okay, the definition here is not dictionary level correct but it hits, right?

These little brand design "experiments" are just me jotting down words and phrases I find compelling. Quick, messy, and fast.(Just like my life now that I think about it)  I give myself 30 minutes, and if I feel like riffing on David Carson like I did this week, then that’s what Imma do. This one? Snagged the definition from somewhere, snapped a photo in my Berkeley neighborhood, and mashed them together. The Oxford Dictionary says resonance is…

Oakland Confetti

If you’ve lived in Oakland long enough, you know the heartbreak of a bipped car window. Those little piles of shattered glass? That’s Oakland’s unofficial confetti. But what if we turned that struggle into style? A streetwear line inspired by resilience, hustle, and the art of keeping nothing valuable in your car. Would you rock it?

3 Studios, 3 Trends, All Fire

The 3x3 concept keeps things simple—three key insights at a time, whether it’s brand design, NBA fashion, or the latest in comic books. Dive in, get inspired, and maybe even rethink your own creative game. 

This week I’m covering brand design. I cover typographers who treat motion like a mixtape and the minimalists who make silence deafening. Branding that bends, stretches, and reworks itself in real time. A clash of raw structures and electric, neon chaos. And a movement proving that looking good and doing good aren’t mutually exclusive. How does a notoriously heavy movement making brands fresh?

Walking Berkeley

WFH means I’m walking around the neighborhood a lot more now, and it’s been cool finding all the little gems nearby. California flowers and houses that look like they were built by people who actually had fun doing it.
