AQUAMAN! 11x17 commission finished. Video shows the progression from thumbnail to final (and you can see the change made between thumbnail and layout).

AQUAMAN! Color phase of the 11 x 17 commission. Next stop, filling in the blacks.

From The Files: While working on the AQUAMAN commission, I remembered this cool idea. The collector was commissioning “signs” for the shelves of his extensive alphabetized collection. I got the start of the alphabet of course.

AQUAMAN! 11x17 inks in progress. Lots of color to come.

AQUAMAN! Working on an 11 x 17 Color commission. This is the layout. And the last image shows the unique part: it’s the blue camo costume. So cool. I’ve never done it before. Feels like the first time.

PROFESSOR X! 5x9 daily sketch. Wanted to see if I could do a glow effect in a rainbow gradation. Video shows the whole process.

CATWOMAN! 11x17 color done. Did this to work out technique for the black bodysuit, as well as to see how to do sparkles like on the jewels. If you watch to the end, after the time lapse, there’s a progression from thumbnail to finished piece. This is available for anyone interested.

CATWOMAN! Working on an 11x17 color piece. This is the inks. Selena enjoying a shower of diamonds.

MAKE IT GLOW! How I did the FX a round the Cube.

Morning sketch: THE RED SKULL! And the Cosmic Cube. None of this Tesseract stuff.

Daily sketch: THE OUTER LIMITS! Last (I think) of the classic sci-fi tv sketches. I always remembered the image of David McCallum and his giant evolved head.

Daily sketch: one more TWILIGHT ZONE! The two-headed alien from MR DINGLE, THE STRONG. The humorous episodes could have some of the most fun designs.

Morning sketch: more TWILIGHT ZONE fun! NIGHTMARE AT 20,000 FEET, EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, and TO SERVE MAN.

THE TWILIGHT ZONE! Morning sketch. Working on the Outer Limits remark had me thinking about my favorite Twilight Zones.

JEAN GREY, CATWOMAN & ROGUE! Three more bomber nose-art inspired commissions.

WONDER WOMAN! 9x12. Took a chance shading her so much, but wanted the yellow to stand out. I think it works. This con-style sketch is available.

From the files: THE BATMAN WHO LAUGHED! Con sketch from 2019. Is this character still a thing in current DC?

THE OUTER LIMITS! Head-sketch remark in a copy of NED, Lord of the Pit for THE COMIC STORE in Lancaster, PA. They’re selling volume 1 & 2. The owner requested the faux alien from the ARCHITECTS OF FEAR episode. Funky design.

THE JOKER! Head-sketch remark in a copy of NED, Lord of the Pit for CRITICAL FINDS comic shop in Ephrata PA. They’re carrying volumes 1 & 2 for sale.

THE QUESTION! On the road today, so ONE FROM THE FILES. 2017. This is a quiet one, but I really liked the pose.

BATMAN! Before doing the 11 x 17, I decided to do a small color study at the 5 x 8 daily sketch size. With so much going on, neon, up, lighting, and the rain, I wanted to see how it would work.

Head-sketch remarks in copies of NED, Lord of the Pit vol2. BLINK and MERCURY! For SHOWCASE COMICS & GAMES in Pennsylvania (2 locations: Brin Mawr and Swarthmore). They’re carrying my book! If you’re anywhere near them, please show some love.

Working on a layout for a BATMAN! 11x17. Going to be color with lots of rain (hopefully).

DR STRANGE! This isn’t the drawing I started out to make. I was going to do all the usual colors on Doctor Strange, but then I had an idea to leave it very graphic with all the white and just the blue glow effect.

CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON! 9x12 commission finished.

CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON! Working on a 9x12 color commission. These are the base inks without the blacks filled in. And obviously lots of color to come. Looks kinda funky this way…

SUPERMAN vs THE CHAIN. Card from the Fleer Ultra Superman set. Another character I was unfamiliar with, but I had a lot of fun with his flinging chains.

SUPERMAN RED &SUPERMAN BLUE! Card from the Fleer Ultra Superman set. I drew one of these guys in Aquaman. I don’t remember how he got this way.

SUPERMAN vs MANCHESTER BLACK! Card from the Fleer Ultra Superman greatest battles subset. Had no idea who Manchester Black is, but I had a lot of fun going psychedelic with it. The last one has his costume colors reversed, looking even funkier. They didn’t go for that last one.

THE LANTERNS! ROY G BIV. 11x17. Although indigo was officially dropped from the spectrum by scientists. It’s wallowing in depression somewhere with Pluto.

SUPERBOY vs PSYCHO PIRATE! Fleer Ultra Superman card; actually a subset of Greatest Battles. The best part about the BLACK LANTERN storyline was that it took non-A list characters and made them cool to draw.

ERADICATOR! Card from the Fleer Ultra Superman set. How about them specs. Did he just have cataract surgery?

SUPERMAN vs METALLO! Fleer Ultra Superman set. This card is from a subset within it of Superman’s greatest battles.

STEEL! Fleer Ultra card. I don’t think I ever drew him in a book before, or even as a commission.

METALLO! Villain card art from the upcoming FLEER ULTRA SUPERMAN set.

LEX LUTHOR! Finally! Some trading cards I did last year are being released and I got the green light to post. The set is FLEER ULTRA SUPERMAN.

From the files:SPIDER-MAN! 2014. This was actually done for a local charity auction.

MILES MORALES SPIDER-MAN! 9x12. This would probably be considered a “torso” sketch at a con.

HELA! 11x17 finished. What better way to celebrate Easter than with a pagan God and zombies? I originally was going to color the zombies “real” colors, but decided to go for the monochromatic red against the green. And I handled Hela almost like a flat graphic. It’s available BTW.

HELA! and zombie Vikings. 11x17 in progress. Preliminary inks (without blacks filled in). Time to see how the color works out.

SUPERMAN! From the files, way back toDC’s 52. Sadly, I don’t have a scan of the original B&W. I spent some time conferring with the colorist on how the backlighting should work.

HELA! & some zombie Vikings. Working on an 11x17 color piece; this is the layout. I’m thinking about reducing the Hela figure a little…

HAPPY PASSOVER!

Daily sketch: MR FREEZE! I had the blue markers out, so I figured what the hell. And I can never get enough of drawing Mr. Freeze.

NOVA! 9x12. Realized I’d never done Mr Ryder in color ever before. It’s available, by the way, if anyone’s interested.

Morning sketch: ADAM WARLOCK! Was curious how few highlights I could do and still have the character “read”. And I like his original costume with the lightning bolt.

Morning sketch: DAREDEVIL! Wanted to do something quick and with almost no under drawing. And I just used a fat marker for the blacks.

Morning sketch: THE HULK & DEADPOOL! Feeling silly today.

Morning sketch: DARKSEID! Just because.
