What if Season 2 is off to a great start. 8 more episode to go, one per day until New Years. Finishing the year off right.

We're about 2 months out from Amazing Comic Con Aloha, so I'm putting out a call for commissions again. While hardly anyone really takes me up these pre-con commissions, hope springs eternal as they say. Getting in early is great for both of us. I get more time to work on it and have access to ALL my art supplies and I can record for a process replay video. You get to decide when to pay so it's easier budget.

Had trouble getting to sleep so I drew this to distract my mind. I've always loved Misty's look. Everyone drew her with attitude. I do think I made the gun and the hand holding it just little too big.

Done 3-1/2 years ago, still relevant and the list just keeps getting longer.

Tropical Storm warning.
Pulled a Storm blank variant out the box and drew this on it.

Planning to draw Storm with a bit of Hawaiian flair. I'm thinking the mohawk storm with a floral lei standing in rain with some tropical foliage behind her. Let's see if I can pull it off. :D If you've got nothing better to do, come hang out with me.

Some times you just do the gags for yourself. I did a sketch of this back when the movie came out. When I pulled the Thanos blank sketch variant out of the box, this automatically came to mind. Anywhoooo...one less blank to worry about.

Still working my way through the 100s of blank sketch variants I have. Pulled this randomly and adorned it with a gag that my friend Drew and I sketched a few years ago with Galactus and Surfer on vacation in Hawaii.

Had a commission from a friend to draw a venomized version of Ahsoka Tano on a Star Wars comic book sketch variant. This is the result.

From TWO different Holiday Movie themed drink & draws. I the line art for this was done in the 2022 holiday movie drink & draw. But I wasn't able to color it then. Since I still had the drawing I used the 2023 holiday movie drink & draw to color it. 😃

Maui Comic Con was my last event for this year. Time to start prepping for Amazing Comic Con Aloha in February. To that end I'm going to try do at least one blank comic book sketch variant per week. I have a few hundred titles. If you have a character you'd like to see drawn, let me know and I'll see if I have a suitable cover to put them on. Most will have some sort of local (Hawaiian) flavor to them. Maybe it's a lei or an aloha shirt or a hula skirt.

Doing double duty with this one. We had a samurai themed Drink & Draw and I have a ton of blanks I need to fill up so here's a Old Samurai Logan. :D

Comic Jam Hawaii's Art Improv is going on the road. See you at Maui Comic Con.

Hey all. This weekend I'll be Maui Comic Con at UH Maui. It's free and open to the public. If you're in the area, go check it out!

It feels like samurai are everywhere in pop media these days, "Onimusha," "Blue Eye Samurai," "Ghost of Tsushima," "The Usagi Chronicles," "Shogun," et cetera... So they've percolated into our consciousness and now we have to draw some.

Featuring artists:
Scott Shinsato

The Comic Jam Hawaii Drink & Draw topics for December. We stream Wednesdays at 7pm HST.

Slowly working my way through some of the hundreds of blank comic book sketch variants I have. I decided to draw Nebula on this Galaxy of the Guardians blank. She's the VIP of the group in IMO. Wanted to give a bit of Hawaiian flair so she gets an aloha shirt, a lei, and fishhook necklace.
