Happy Holidays to All

Hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas and happy holiday...

Here are some blasts from the past... including an early drawing of Paul Bunyan, much smaller than I'd draw him later!

This was from Facebook, but pretty funny... Accurate!

Macro Jason

A macro/growth commissioned series. In the next pages, there's some rampaging and crushing underfoot - not sure if everyone is OK with that, what do you all think?

OK - I added the last pages, be forewarned on the crushing.

Coach and Wrestler 2

I may have posted some of these rough commissioned pages before - but here's the whole sequence, just drew a couple more. The wrestling coach is joined by the football coach in pursuit of the size and power that devastated the campus earlier.

Happy Thanksgiving from Carl, John and Rex... a drawing in progress, gonna tighten it up and add color. They're probably wishing for more gains!

H & I Strip Rough Preview

Back to a storyline I left hanging... Carl has a upcoming high profile fight. It's a little ahead in the timeline, John is at the fight with Diego, who might have a guy with him here... next I need to return to the club and dancefloor where we saw them last and let that play out. For context, the strip with the fight promo is attached too.

The Dark House preview pages 1 -4

Happy Halloween, all. Here's an idea I've had kicking around for awhile and it seems appropriate for Halloween. I'd wanted to write more stories about Kallikrates and Ioannes, Carl and John's Greek counterparts - so here are some rough pencil pages for a new story. If you're not familiar with the characters or background here, check out Hearts & Iron #4 & #5.

How many chairs does a muscle giant need?

John, and probably Carl, would have to do this...

One of my favorite muscle guys, 6' 6" Josh.

Calum Studies

Did some practice sketches of Calum Von Moger and added color... 


FFS the app detects "adult" content and will only let me publish it for patrons only... I guess a shirtless guy is too risque...

7'2" Muscle Giant


And I've retconned my guy John to 7'4". So this is a good example of him if he was real.

Project Hercules p. 39 inked preview

The next to the last page in the Proj Herc issue, the soldiers' weapons have proved ineffective against John's hard body. He's taking over. 

I'm not quite happy with the design/rendering of the "swat" suits and guns, so more tweaking of that likely...

"Dad's Glory Years" - Scenes

Not sure if I've posted drawings I've done for this series before - it's from a story by Dredlifter called "Dad's Glory Years" I was commissioned to draw some scenes.... but I wanted to do this one for fun. It's about a college age jock, Jed, and his buff dad Chad (both straight) and the father gets a growth spurt that keeps going and going. Drawings by me, words by Dredlifter. Yes, there's more coming.

20 Years of Art and Hearts & Iron

It was 20 years ago today that I put my first site, Jeff's Muscle Studio, online, with physique drawings and the first issue of Hearts & Iron available. I went to the gym and worked out, wondering what the reaction wpuld be. Carl and John had made their debut in an issue of Gay Comix as a one page piece, and I'd had one fan letter from it.

In 2021, I have 3 sites and 12 issues available, 6 of Hearts and Iron and others of Paul Bunyan. Werebears, and a collection of older work. My...
