First painting of the year, and first commission of the year. Also, my first time painting The Creature From the Black Lagoon. Gouache on 300lb hot press paper, 8 x 10".

As the new year is almost upon us, that calls for something really cool from the collection. Hulk 5, published in January 1963. The only issue I own of the original 6 issue run. This was a double feature, with the 1st appearance of Tyrannus and ol' greenie battled The Hordes of General Fang.

Bought this just before the holidays, hoping to get some listening in over the next few days

Fresh off the table just in time to carve that turkey. And did someone say pumpkin ( bomb ) pie? Gouache on 300 lb. hot press paper

Treasury Tuesday, and the last one before Christmas! Looking at cool comics always makes me cheerful, I don't need no stinkin' holiday to do that 🤪. From the collection, Marvel Treasury Edition 22, published in May 1979, reprinting tales from MTU 13, 19, 20 & 21.

From the collection on this frigid final day of Fall. This issue reprints Hulk 102 with a brand new cover/homage to the original.

It's Tuesday....and you know the rest!!! From the collection, something absolutely fantastic is in store. A treasury like no other, featuring that fearless, fabulous, fighting foursome, The Fantastic Four. Published in January 1979, reprints issues 120-123.

I'll be at Dungeon Comics tomorrow from 11-4 with prints in hand, come by and say hello if you have the chance. There'll be local artists there with their comics & art, including my buddy Mike Rooth 447 Spears Road Unit 6, Oakville, Ontario

New addition to the reprint section of the collection tonight

From the collection on this snowy Sunday, one of my favorite story arcs of the 80's. I re-read this one a lot. Didn't get to see Big John draw the Hulk very often, so this was a real treat. The sequence with Joe Fixit laying out the biker gang after they damage his limo is awesome.

Sketch cover just completed for a client. Deathlok, the Demolisher. This one was tough, I went a little overboard here

Fresh off the table, some sketch cover action for a client. Off to its' new home soon.

Something from the collection on this chilly Saturday. Dracula meets the Wolf-Man, I mean, Man-Wolf....dammit, it's Werewolf by Night. I guess " Werewolf by Day " wouldn't have been as scary.

Damn, this just blows my mind

And the next project has begun. The client wants some godly, hammer wielding dude. Can it be done?

Whew! Finally wrapped this one up just a few hours ago. LONG overdue commission for a great client. An homage to a classic Hulk poster from the 1970's, at the client's request. This one tested my problem solving abilities, for sure! Gouache on Arches 300lb hot press paper, 16 x 20".

I just booked my stay! I'll be setup in Artist Alley again next year.

A trio of lesser known books from the collection. I saw these at auction back in the mid-2000's and they were cheap enough, so I scooped them up. Pretty cool little books in immaculate condition.

Stan " The Man " Lee Dec 28, 1992- Nov 12, 2018.

Final pencils for my latest piece, as the Hulk battles his arch nemesis, The Leader! The beam coming from the Murder Module will be getting some energy effects and Kirby Crackle when painted.

A little art flashback; my homage to the rear cover of Marvel Treasury Edition 26, published way back in 1980.

From the collection, some sensational yarns featuring the web spinning, wall crawling, amazing, spectacular, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Reprinting some classic stories from Amazing Spider-Man 100-102 and Not Brand Echh 6. Published in March 1977.

New addition tonight. I already own one, but doubles are a good thing to a comic collector.

I've gotten quite a few new followers over the last day or two, so thank you to all!

A cool but sunny Sunday should showcase some selections from the comic stash. I've always been a sucker for classic reprints and square bound books. Combine the two? That hits me right in the comic nerd sweet spot. 😎

Come by and see me at Dungeon Comics today until 4 pm. 447 Speers Rd Unit 6, Oakville.

Art supplies sure do get expensive. With taxes, for five sheets of 300lb Arches watercolor paper, 20 x 30" , it was $167.18 Cdn. I hadn't bought it in awhile since I stocked up last time I saw it on sale, so of course, the price had gone up around $5 a sheet. Of course it did...😩

A client sent me scans of his slabbed sketch covers that I did for him. I'm officially in the CGC database, lol.
