RIP Stan Lee. A fan once told me that they took a couple of my prints to get signed by him at a con and he was like “These are great!” – And that is basically the highpoint of my career.

Stan created the X-Men (along with Jack Kirby, of course). I consider that to be his most important creation.

Stan Lee understood that readers could look at a group comprised entirely of minority characters and see heroes.

In creating the X-Men, Stan made a space to tell the exploits of minority characters. In their own story. Forever.

They weren’t just Very Special Guests used to help Cap & Iron Man explore themes of minority oppresssion and ostracism.

The X-Men were their own institution from issue #1. As if they were there all along. Stan used his amazing gift for characters to humanize The Other, and gave them all a place in his Marvel Universe to be their authentic, uncanny selves…

To her he was only the man who made himself agreeable nowhere, and who had not thought her handsome enough to dance with.

Happy belated Diwali! Super excited to share these illustrations of Sanjay and his dad celebrating the festival of lights for Disney. Art direction by Craig Mackay and design by Deniza Sabio. A big thank you to the Disney team for bringing me onboard!

Orlando stood upright in complete nakedness, and we have no choice left but confess—he was a woman.

Inspired by a charming illustrated soviet poster with Dalí vibes.

They had never struggled, and only struggle twists sentimentality and lust together into love.
