It's been five years since my family and I decided to trek west to California. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing, or at least it felt that way to me. An instant spark jolted me to cut my wife off in mid-sentence as she attempted to ask me if I wanted to move to California. I said "Let's go!" faster than the spit comes out your mouth when you sneeze. Before I knew it, we were on the road, driving to California across the states. It was a surreal moment for me because the last time I moved that far from where I lived, was in 1995 when I moved to Utah. That time I did it alone. This time I was part of a team. I feel the same way about this project that I'm inking. It's the first time I've ever inked any one's work, but I'm doing this as part of a team. This is the third time the Turlock Toon Skwad collaborates on a project. It seems to be working
Turlock Toon Skwad Strikes Again
The #turlocktoonskwad decided to take on another project. This time, a poster for another comic con. What's different than the last one? This time Adam and Omar will be doing the artwork and I will be inking and laying out the elements. Then, off to Adam again to provide the colors and then back to me to put the graphic elements such as logos, text, etc. This should be fun as it will be my first time inking someone else's work. I will be doing the inking digitally.
Another Collaboration with Adam Harris
Here is another collaboration between the awesome Adam Harris and me. Adam took care of the colors on this piece. To view more of Adam's work, click here.

Making The Show Comic
Over the course of a couple of years I have been creating this webcomic in order to get my comic universe and these characters in the public eye. I have scraped some old sketches of old characters from old sketchbooks to aid in populating this universe. As it turns out, taking this long to put out this first chapter is a bit too long. What I propose for myself this year is to concentrate a little more on getting this chapter finished and creating shorter chapters in subsequent story plots. That being said, I want to thank all of those who have chosen to follow the story line and even add to it with your great suggestions and ideas.
Do you have a favorite character? I'd love to hear what you think so far in the comments below.

Hi Toon People,
Everybody loves Wolverine. Okay, not everybody… but I do. Especially now that he’s basically co-starring in the new Deadpool movie. Let’s be honest — it’s kinda his movie, too.
This here’s my close-up sketchcard tribute to that feral rage mode we all know and love. I leaned all the way in on the teeth, the grit, and yes — the angry drool. It’s a JuneToon™ thing, you get it.
The Details:
🖊️ Original Art – Ink & alcohol markers on 2.5"x3.5" 12pt. Strathmore JuneToon™ Branded Stock
✍️ Signed on the front | Authenticity embossing included
💪 Protected in a 3"x4" rigid plastic holder — because epic art deserves epic protection
🎁 FREE JuneToon™ sticker with every card (while supplies last)
📦 Shipping applies — I ship with care because, well… this is art, not junk.
If you’re into sharp teeth, mutant fury, and a little cartoon chaos, this one’s for you.
—Haro!
