NIGHTWING Revisited. Can't show what I'm currently doing so here's an oldie to enjoy for now. Happy Stepback Saturday, y'all.

Where it all started: the original 4 part covers of JLA #233-236 that combined into the poster premiering JL DETROIT. Happy Flashback Friday.

It's cold & rainy day in LA so here's the back cover of the Justice League Detroit Omnibus & the full cover by maestro Jose Luis Garcia Lopez to warm y'all up. I threw in mine & Mike DeCarlo's JLD poster for a lil extra love. Happy Throwback Thursday, folks.

Jesse Jackson, 1941-2026 Rest in Power, Prominence, and Peace, Reverend.🕯🙏🏿

RIP Robert Duvall, a legendary Chamelion. 1931-2026. Vaya Con Dios🕯🙏🏿

Yesterday, I got to reunite with one of comics' true legends, GERRY CONWAY, making his last public appearance to meet his many fans & friends @arsenalcomicsandgames. It was more than an honor beyond pleasure. Thanks for showing this rookie the way of the game, Gerry, and thanks for being my friend.

Hey y'all! My variant cover for Boom! Studio's THE CENTER HOLDS #1 is out TODAY! Written by the legendary Larry Hama, drawn by the late, great M.D. Bright, with colors by Joshua Jensen, and inks (over my cover) by Roger Robinson. Find it at your favorite comic shops now.

My heartfelt condolences to his family. Rest in Performance, Prominence, and Peace 🕯🙏🏿

Here's the copy of my original rough sketch and the finished art for the first Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm DVD cover. I'm told it wasn't a fun production to work on, but doing just the covers was enough for me.

Legacy.

The 'Detroit League' was always going to be a controversial shift of gears but @chuckpattonart.bsky.social kept doing solid work.

From my Lost/Now Found art pile: Here's a copy of a rough sketch done for Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm DVD covers. This one shows Jax VS date crashing Ninjas! They can't keep a steel-armed Brutha down!l! More to follow! #throwbackthursday #happytbt #happyblackhistorymonth

CYBORG/VIC STONE, member of both the Titans & the Justice League. From 1986, with pencils by me & inks by @mikedecarlo57 #happyblackhistorymonth

VIBE! Vibin' some flashback memories on this Throwback Thursday!

MUCH OBLIGED to ALL who came out to see me at Pasadena Comic Con yesterday. You guys keep me going & as I always say, I am nobody without you. See you at the next con, where ever that will be, but I'll have some new surprises to show. Stay safe out there.

HE-MAN VS LION-O: Duel of The Swords! The new MOTU live action trailer does look fun. And if it hits-- maybe a live action Thundercats is next up? Would make a wild crossover!

ABSOLUTE BATMAN--done for now. Confession time--My New Year started off terribly, leaving me in a deep creative funk. But seeing the sheer outrageousness of This Guy & reading the solid storytelling magic of Waid & Samnee's BATMAN AND ROBIN, jump-started my doodling again. More fun to follow.

"What next to read after Lord of The Rings?" Really enjoyed replying to that thread (My list is below). Let's keep it going. I wanna hear what's yours?

Gotta be the most bulked up Bats has ever been. #wip

An Absolute WIP.

RED HOOD. And yep, he's smiling under that. For pulpfictionculvercity✌🏾

First Stepback Sunday post of the New Year: A Batgirl panel I penciled from a New Talent Showcase assignment. Was seriously channeling some Irv Novick/Jose Delbo in there. More to reveal later on.

First post of the New Year: found this ol' snapshot of my Presentation board for a 2nd Swamp Thing animated show from DIC in the 90's. The board stood 4 ft high by 4 ft wide, and did more to grab the networks' attention by the throat than the pitch. That's how we sold shows by the dozens back then.

"Goongala" During TMNT '03's roughest time in production, one of my artists, Keith Conroy @kccomix, did this gritty lil sketch that said everything the team & I was vibing at the moment. And I should've had t-shirts made, lol Much obliged, Keith!

Comfort food of memories.

And Happy 60th Birthday to my other favorite mutant turtle, the Almighty giant monster, GAMERA!

With Blessings, Gratitude, & Love to you all.

JOHN "GRIMJACK" GAUNT--Hard boiled, demon hunting Merc from the multi-dimensional city of Cynosure. Would've loved to had drawn his book before but it wasn't meant to be. Pencils on 6.5 x 10.5.

DR. HANK "BEAST" MCCOY, XMEN--one of the founding OG's of the mutant super team. Of his many looks, I always preferred the classic blue version. Pencils on 6.5 x 10.5 comic board.
