Here’s a sneak of the new The Umbrella Academy Apocalypse Suite portfolio I’m releasing in conjunction with the enamel pin … VERY SOON!

This art is for the envelope that’ll hold the prints! When I was younger (in the 1880’s) and was working at a comic book store - comic book artists used to independently publish portfolios of their work. And like a dork, I collected a lot of them. Especially from artists like Jeff Jones, Michael Kaluta, Berni Wrightson, Mike Zeck and Tim Vigil. I found the portfolios recently after unpacking some studio boxes and I wanted to do something similar to that - with a printed envelope and more!

It was a ton of fun to do this piece. I FINALLY tried out the @truegrittexturesupply distress press beat tones & litho tone brushes I penciled and inked it manually but did the rest in photoshop. I don’t use brushes very often but these were REALLY easy to use - once I got out of my own way. I don’t know why I waited so damn long to try these out.

I also filmed the process and will post that as soon as I have time to edit it.

I got a few emails regarding the pins* - YES the pins are FREE - but only to newsletter subscribers who pick up the UA portfolio.

So if you haven’t already… sign up for my newsletter HERE

* The pins will also be available separately.

More orders shipping this week. I hope to be caught up by then. THANKS to everyone for picking something up from the bodega!
