Seconded.

Picked the wrong half-inning for a shower.

Firebreather commission. Galaxy Con St. Louis.

I went a slightly… different direction with this @philhester.bsky.social #invincible piece, let’s call this another #Drawtober art- color in #procreate

Sundry sketches from Galaxy Con St. Louis. Swampy, Cap, Cantina musician, Man-Thing

So far in my unscientific survey, Schnucks has the best fairlife knock-off. I'm as surprised as you are.

Dudes who watched Aliens without noticing there were any villains.

Tonight I saw a blessed saint walk into a Long John Silver's and order a meal of just 14 hush puppies.

🕸️ Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-tober: Day 22- The Future Foundation Suit 🕸️

White Witch. Original for sale at andiwatson.bigcartel.com

@philhester.bsky.social and I made this John Stewart Green Lantern piece for the Asner Family Center charity auction, and you can own it... if you bid! comics.ha.com/itm/original...

An argument could be made that he was the best cover artist.

Rays deserve it, I guess.

So you say you love Halloweening?

New interview with @philhester.bsky.social articlesandinterviews.substack.com/p/phil-heste...

Trying out selling some mystery boxes at cons. Kids love mysteries. The art mystery boxes contain a ton of signed comics and trades. Many of them have goodies like these head sketches, prints, and even coupons for original art!

I don't want to be one of those if-you-could-see-the-sketches-in-my-inbox-guys, but if you could see the sketches in my inbox.

Daredevil vs the Mephisto-powered Dentist commission.

Dreamed there was a lost, backhanded, madcap Seventh Seal parody from Hammer in which a blustering English nobleman (Christopher Lee) kept evading the machinations of a wearied Death (Peter Cushing) via loopholes and technicalities. Somehow time travel is involved.

I don't know how my daughter and son-in-law's favorite team became the Brewers, but I'm happy for them.

I forgot about this Invincible sketch I did a while ago. Now with color by @mattnick1983.bsky.social

As is tradition on Portfolio Day, I hide my portfolio where only the cleverest of editors can find it!

Creators at every level of this game know the pain of the comics project that never gets off the ground, but let me tell you about the exquisite torment of those that reach about 40% completion.

It's ON! Our friends @coliseumofcomics.com sent foam pumpkins to top artists to be auctioned with proceeds benefiting Hero Initiative and Binc! AMAZING original art, and auctions have JUST started! @adrianamelo.bsky.social, @kierondwyer.bsky.social, @philhester.bsky.social, GO: qurls.com?i=57337

Here's the piece @philhester.bsky.social and I did for this year's Ed Asner Family Center auction at Heritage. It goes live soon. Please go check it out and bid (heartily).

More sketches from another great Fallcon including my first and last Transformers sketch (I was tricked!), Mantis, and Destroyer Duck.

Black Mask commission. Fallcon '26.

About ten years ago I stopped paying for any sort of fantasy football services because it was taking the fun out of it. Raw dogging my research was more rewarding. Until this year.

A Denys Cowan OMAC, you say? They got mindreaders at DC now!

I'm willing to bet there are more comic book dealers at www.mncba.org than NYCC, despite being a fraction of the size. I know it will be just as fun. Join me this weekend!

Not pining to return to an impossible publishing climate, but it was certainly cool when publishers found themselves treading water on a title they were obliged to keep printing and just turned it over to weirdos for the final gasps.

DD vs The Dentist commission WIP from the classic Nocenti/JRJR/Williamson run.

Remember tabling at a convention across the aisle from a Jurassic Park-themed cat adoption organization called Purrassic Park. And when, like its namesake, the fences failed.

Jonah Hex commission WIP.

Old man Phil ran his first red light today (slowly, no cross traffic) because he was looking at the next set of lights. I blame the chaos of the Trader Joe's parking lot. No jury would convict me.

Looking at the number of comic book dealers on the site map for next week's MNCBA FallCon and feeling unadulterated joy. See you there! www.mncba.org

The guys always ask good questions and are super comics literate.

Good comic.

Starting to make real progress as a writer. Now hating my scripts as much as my art!

I still like this sketch months later! Rare!

I sure would like to know the lore behind the redraws on this page. I suspect Shooter thought the Beyonder wasn't sexy enough in panel 4. That character made me cringe, and I say that as someone who proudly wore a white denim vest at the time.

This is *not* the best baseball I've ever had.
