On my latest commission, the patron wanted Daredevil in Josie's Bar. He asked for it to be inspired by the classic Frank Miller comics. I made up a new situation, but I tried my best to walk a line between MIller's style and my own!

Here’s a gag that MAD rejected and I completed for the 13th Dimension site. Just for fun! (Btw, please don’t criticize Mad’s decision. I consider them friends. There’s a lot of thought that goes into every issue. It’s a tough job!)

Btw, I added quick color to the card in Photoshop for this post. The finished color will be done with watercolor and pencils.

I took a commission to draw 6 different characters on 2.5 x 3.5 sketch cards. Typically, on something that small, artists draw only a headshot or a bust, and sometimes a full figure. I have only myself to blame for how I decided to draw Antman.

Here's the promotional poster for FREESTATE COMICON in Lawrence, KS on Sept. 6. I was asked to create my version of 1948's Startling Comics #49. The old man is John Brown, a Kansas abolitionist from the 1800's. He's the official "mascot" of the con.

Added a new item on ebay late last night, original b&w art on Bristol board and a color print. The image is based on TIGRA's "origin panel" from Marvel Chillers #3.

I drew this “MAD” book when I was a kid. It makes drawing an ACTUAL cover even more fun for me! My kid joke might be a bit unclear— They're at a Halloween costume contest. The man holding his head, ACTUALLY removed his head! He’s declared the winner, but unfortunately dies.

A couple of months ago, a Production Company contacted me to ask if the rights to DIRTNAP were available. I said "yes" and never heard back. But, it made me realized I should perhaps be more proactive in such things. Too bad I have no idea how to do that.

This latest commission is of the original Great Lakes Avengers (plus Squirrel Girl who later joined). As I was drawing Flatman, it occurred to me he would have fit right in with some of the ’60s cartoon superheroes, such as The Impossibles or The Mighty Heroes!

Drawn/colored on blank comic cover. A throwback to the 70's TV show!

I don't know if this scene will be in the new Superman movie this Summer, but knowing James Gunn's humor, it wouldn't surprise me. 🙂

Here's a couple of prints I drew for the Jacqueline Jones (issue #2) Kickstarter campaign. Both images were written by Carrick Esquivel, the writer/artist of the comic itself. More info at--

This cover commission of 1942's DETECTIVE COMICS #73 was a request to switch all the characters with modern versions. Costumes have gotten more complicated over the decades! I have no idea what the blue thing at the bottom is supposed to be, but I drew it regardless. 😊

Latest commission. Mixed media on a blank comic cover. Cosmic rays turned Ben Grimm into The Thing, but it's his puns that make him a monster.

I wonder if the cgi team who created Krypto debated about giving him an *.
