Dropping these two guys off at the Greensburg Art Center for the Black and White Show, opening next weekend.

The Stranger Things boys, acrylic on wood panel.

The Punisher from the 2004 movie starring Thomas Jane. Acrylic on wood panel.

Jane Foster, the Mighty Thor. Acrylic on illustration board.

Punisher and Daredevil diptych. Acrylic on wood panels. Seam between panels digitally removed.

Still one of my favorites I’ve ever done, my friend.

Nightcrawler piece that I’ve been itching to do since watching X-Men ‘97 with my youngest. Acrylic on illustration board.

David Bowie portrait I finished earlier this month. Acrylic paint on wood panel.

Day 28 of #Webruary Peter Parker I get why the best Spidey stories mostly center around high school, but when I started reading comic books in the 80’s and 90’s, he was depicted in his mid-twenties and married. That’s a wrap on Webruary! Thanks for taking a look. #SpiderMan #SpiderVerse

Day 27 of #Webruary Patrick O’Hara The Web-Slinger! I aimed for a pulp novel cover look for this one, and it took twice as long as I expected. #SpiderVerse

Day 26 of #Webruary Jess Drew The second version of this character on the list, this one hails from the Spider-Verse movies. I found some awesome cosplay by @afrococoapuffs.bsky.social to serve as reference. #SpiderWoman #SpiderVerse

Day 25 of #Webruary Night Monkey Far From Home used a great twist on the traditional black Spider-Man suit with this stealth number. Movie costume designers do incredible work, packing detail and texture to make even an all-black number like this visually interesting on screen. #SpiderVerse #MCU

Day 24 of #Webruary Cyborg Spider-Man This is a callback to a very specific comic book storyline, in all its early 90’s absurdity. The whole design was a self-aware joke to let Erik Larsen, a prominent Spidey artist, cut loose with the hallmark excesses that defined the era. Pouches! #SpiderVerse

Day 23 of #Webruary Ezekiel Sims I remember this character, but I have no real affinity for him. The original version was basically just a middle-aged rich guy with spider powers running around in a business suit with no shoes. So I tried to lean into the portraiture of it. #SpiderVerse

Day 21 of #Webruary Peni Parker I’ve never been a manga guy. I respect the art form; it’s just never been my bag. So I think this is my first attempt at the art style, which felt a little like working with somebody else’s hands! #SPdr #SpiderVerse

Day 20 of #Webruary Silk So I probably should’ve included the whole face, not just the lower masked half. But my goal with this one was to convey form and posture with very limited visual information. I dunno, it was fun to try. #CindyMoon #SpiderVerse

Day 19 of #Webruary Scarlet Spider It’s been fun trying out other media, but I’m definitely most comfortable in acrylics. I based this one on some awesome cosplay work by @stigerman613 (on IG). #BenReilly #SpiderVerse

Day 18 of #Webruary Lady Spider I was not familiar with this steampunk alternate universe Aunt May. But I wanted to try a medium appropriate to the subject, so I risked another go at pen and ink. Well… brush and ink. I hoped a familiar tool might help. #MaybelleReilly #steampunk #SpiderVerse

Day 17 of #Webruary Black Suit I held a notion that I would do this one in pen and ink, and in a loose homage to one of the most classic Spider-Man covers. But I forgot that I lack either pen and ink skills or perspective drawing patience, and wound up painting over it all with acrylic. #SpiderMan

Day 16 of #Webruary Pavitr Prabhakar I don’t know why I thought watercolor was a good idea for this one, the color-on-color patterns would’ve been waaaaay easier with acrylic. #SpiderManIndia #SpiderVerse

Day 14 of #Webruary Ghost-Spider Maybe more popularly known as Spider-Gwen. I debated leaving the eyes flat white, in keeping with the character’s usual aesthetic. But I’m a sucker for reflective surfaces :) #GwenStacy #SpiderGwen #SpiderVerse

Day 13 of #Webruary Hybrid Suit This was the suit worn by Tom Holland for the back half of No Way Home. I like painting contiguous surfaces where the texture and reflectivity changes. #SpiderMan #NoWayHome

Day 12 of #Webruary Spider-Ham What does a superpowered, anthropomorphic spider-pig daydream about? #SpiderVerse #PeterPorker

Day 11 of #Webruary Anya Corazón The Madame Web movie was truly one of the worst piles of crap to which humanity has been subjected. The only halfway-watchable thirty seconds were the future vision of the three Spider-Women in costume, including Anya, here. #SpiderGirl #Araña

Day 10 of #Webruary Mayday Since I wanted to go with the baby version of May “Mayday” Parker, I broke out a medium that I used many times for baby portraits in the past: watercolor with a little colored pencil to tighten it up. I am… very out of practice. #SpiderGirl #SpiderVerse

Day 9 of #Webruary Spider-Man 2099 I painted this one right overtop of a version I did for a buddy back in 2019. It was one of the very first acrylic paintings I ever tried. #MiguelOhara #SpiderVerse

Day 8 of #Webruary The Human Spider Even those of you who haven’t seen a Spider-Man movie since Tobey Maguire may remember his brief wrestling alter ego.

Day 7 of #Webruary Spider-UK #MalalaWindsor #SpiderVerse

Day 6 of #Webruary Advanced Suit Most of these have been my usual acrylic paint so far, but I promise I’ll branch out this month! #SpiderMan #PS4

I managed to dodge COVID for five years. This buffoon is president again for like two minutes, and I’ve got it. Coincidence, or is he just that preternaturally incompetent?

Day 5 of #Webruary Spider-Punk Switched things up a little with some acrylic gouache instead of my usual heavy body acrylic paints. #SpiderMan #HobieBrown #SpiderVerse

Day 4 of #Webruary Iron Spider Okay, I thought this one had potential, so rather than a quick sketch, I put some real time into it. This was a fun one! #SpiderMan #IronSpider #AvengersEndgame

Day 3 of #Webruary Jessica Drew It has to be a quick one today! Just a sketch, really, of the original Spider-Woman. Tomorrow’s will be more extensive! #SpiderWoman #SpiderVerse

Day 2 of #Webruary Miles Morales I think this is the first piece I’ve done of Miles that doesn’t prominently feature some untied Jordans. But this one, like most of those, was based on the awesome cosplay work of CosplayNay. #MilesMorales #SpiderMan #SpiderVerse

Day 1 of #Webruary Spider-Man Noir #SpiderManNoir #SpiderVerse

I've been in a little bit of an artistic lull. To snap out of it, I'll be going back to my roots for a #Webruary Challenge with some art buddies: a different Spider-Man piece every day for a month. Look for the first one tomorrow...

With the Steelers’ regular season concluded, I’ve updated my list of the highest career earners in team history. Alex Highsmith is the lone new entry into the top 25, just nudging off the great Jerome Bettis. The top eight spots remain unchanged in order; Minkah and Boswell continue to climb.

Seems that one of my children built the world’s saddest snowman out of the paltry flakes that graced our yard this bitter morning.

Beautiful day for a game!

I just saw Danny Glover at DeNunzio’s. Big smile, very friendly. But he is indeed too old for this shit.

These TopDog Law radio ads are nothing short of spectacular. Better even than the Ogg, Murphy & Perkosky “a fight’s gonna break aht” ad.

Well, $@&#. Now I’m supposed to, what, sleep?

I've said for a while that Sam Bradford was the NFL player who made the most money (a shade under $130M) without actually doing anything of value for it. But Daniel Jones is within striking distance.

The Steelers have brought in a ton of veteran players on two-year contracts in recent seasons, and I can't think of a single one that they extended before his contract expired. But I would be looking hard to extend DeShon Elliott this off-season.

That is the most athletic move a receiver has ever made to be out of bounds with no catch. A reverse toe-tap.

“Really great read by Jackson on that throw ten yards over the receiver…”

Justin Tucker is hands down the best kicker to ever play. But all things end.

Did the announcer just say that Baltimore started to get some offensive flow because they hit literally one big play? (Then promptly two incomplete passes and a missed FG.)

That was a weird play.

Lots of attention on Patrick Queen as an ex-Raven, but the most impactful defensive addition in Pittsburgh this year may be 2018 Ravens draft pick DeShon Elliott.
