For #FlashbackFriday, here's my re-creation of Frank Frazetta art that was originally intended as Buck Rogers art for FAMOUS FUNNIES, but was altered for the cover to WEIRD SCIENCE-FANTASY #29. Pen, brush, and ink on 13 X 20" bristol board.

Polly Pocket art for a McDonald's Happy Meal box, 2006. Pencils: Terry Tidwell, inks & colors by me. #ThrowbackThursday

Cover art for a comic adaptation of KING LEAR, 2008. Pencils: Terry Tidwell, inks: me. This was done for Scholastic, but I can't remember if it was for print or just online. #ThrowbackThursday

Comics have come a long way, but they haven't topped Orson Welles teaming up with Superman to stop Nazi Martians. (SUPERMAN #62, 1950)

This PRESCILLA'S POP strip sums up the way my romance started with Rebecca. #ValentinesDay

Very long.

While working on a re-creation of Frazetta Tarzan art, I accidentally grabbed my tub of warm gray watercolors instead of warm gray ink washes. I added some ink to the watercolors, and thought, "Wow, these washes seem smoother than usual!" Brian Eno: "Honour thy error as hidden intention."

I've recently had a couple Muppet art clients who were happily surprised to find out they were getting original art rather than a print! My Muppet-ized movie art is always hand-drawn on hot press watercolor paper. Here's a shot of my recent AKIRA art in the coloring phase.

For #FlashbackFriday, here's my re-creation of Wallace Wood's cover art to WEIRD SCIENCE-FANTASY #27. Pen, brush and ink on 13 X 20" bristol board.

Very sad to hear that Bud Cort has died. HAROLD AND MAUDE is one of my all-time favorite films, and his performance was perfection. R.I.P.

New commission: a re-creation of Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott's cover art to FANTASTIC FOUR #73. Pen, brush and ink on 15 X 22" bristol board.

Left: Neal Adams's rejected cover art to X-MEN #56. Right: the final, published version. I'm guessing the original was rejected due to twitchiness about X-men being crucified on their own logo...? When I first saw the book as a kid, I assumed the main character was a very tall cowboy robot.

I hear that a new MUPPET SHOW drops today! (Gonzo & co. in my Muppet version of STEAMBOAT BILL, JR.)

In 1946, cartoonist & illustrator Noel Sickles was sent by Life magazine to sketch the Nuremberg trials. Here is his sketch of the execution of Joachim Von Ribbentrop, who claimed at trial that his boss had made all of the important decisions, & that he was only following orders.

A comparison of the original art to DAREDEVIL #81, page 1 with the printed version. Jack Abel wasn't my favorite inker over Gene Colan, but I do think the work suffered a lot from the printing process. In print, Jack's fine lines ended up much scratchier-looking, or dropped out altogether.

For #MuppetMonday, let's have some superhero flashbacks! #3: Animal in a Muppet version of WOLVERINE #4! The original was drawn in grayscale with mixed media on 11 X 17" bristol board. The colors in this version are digital.

Me too, Rex. Me too.

Left: cover art to @philhester.bsky.social's GOLLY! #5. Pencils: @brookwturner.bsky.social, digital inks & colors: me. Right: cover art to the unpublished GOLLY! #6. Pencils by Brook, inks by me. #FlashbackFriday

Very sad to hear that Catherine O'Hara has died. My favorite O'Hara works were the first I saw her in (SCTV) and the last (SCHITT'S CREEK). I also loved her in anything, everything inbetween. R.I.P.

New commission: what if AMAZING FANTASY had continued with Spider-Man facing monster-ous foes? This one is based on Steve Ditko artwork from AMAZING ADULT FANTASY #9 and AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #17. Pen, brush and ink on 13 X 20" bristol board.

New commission: a re-creation of Boris Vallejo's cover art to SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN #7. Mixed media on 13 X 20" hot press watercolor paper.

Decided to give today's background entertainment a theme! They aren't very similar (except in name), although there is a breakdown of civilization vibe in both. Which I relate to right now. Film: enjoyable, although Australian Anthony Perkins is jarring. Album: Side 1: OK. Side 2: Brilliant.

New commission: a re-creation of Jack Kirby & Joe Sinnott's cover art to FANTASTIC FOUR #69. This is another one for @eriklarsen.bsky.social, who did some light art direction. If you can spot the subtle changes, then a no-prize will be sent via no-mail. Pen, brush and ink on 15 X 22" bristol board.

Process shots of my recent commission featuring a Muppet version of RETURN OF THE KILLER TOMATOES: pencils, inks, and watercolors/mixed media.

I was very sad to hear that Sal Buscema died over the weekend. Today would have been his 90th birthday. My first exposure to Sal was buying AVENGERS #69 at my local drugstore. After that, I was always happy to see his name show up in a book. R.I.P.

New commission: a Muppet version of RETURN OF THE KILLER TOMATOES featuring Crazy Harry, The Newsman, Miss Piggy, Kermit, Fozzie, Statler, and Waldorf (whew!). Mixed media on 11 X 14" watercolor paper. #MuppetMonday

A while back, someone hired me to complete the inks on this original, unfinished Marshall Rogers splash. My recollection is that it was on his drawing board when he died. Hopefully, I did it justice. #FlashbackFriday
