There was a famous storyline in the 70’s comics about the Joker dumping a chemical into the water which transformed fish to look like him. He then wanted a royalty payment every time someone ate a fish. The person who requested this commission took the idea a step further!
I originally drew this Doc Savage image as a sketch inside a book. I was then curious how it would look digitally inked and colored. (No, not by AI. By my own hand.) I had never drawn Doc Savage before!
This "Captain Americat" was fun to draw. I usually don't mention who has requested a commission, but Geoff Holland deserves the credit for coming up with the villains. I based the Kitler punch on Captain America #1
Just finished a commission of animating a Richie Rich cover. It was a favorite comic of the person requesting it. I was happy to do it! Currently, I figured people would merely use AI for such things. Thanks so much, JS!
When I come across an unused penciled page by an old master, in this case Jack Kirby, I love trying my hand at inking it. But, then it feels incomplete without dialog and color, so I do that too. Btw, does Hulk have extra tough hair, like Superman? Has it ever been addressed?
On this commission, I was asked to replace the alien on UFO Flying Saucers #5 with QUISP! I don’t know anyone, of a certain age, who doesn’t like Quisp. His breakfast cereal was discontinued many years ago, but he will occasionally show up in select areas as a limited release.
Here’s a pretty straightforward commission The request was for me to create a Ghost Rider cover showing his disapproval of “Billionaire’s Row” in NYC.
I find causal nudity, for comedic effect, hilarious! Social media doesn’t agree. For this finished commission, I added pink briefs. The joke is Star-Spangled Kid wore blue with a star pattern BEFORE Wonder Woman appeared in comics. Her culottes were also blue with a star pattern.
Here's a fun commission. I was asked to recreate the insult drawing of the Thing as its own, physical art! The panel originally appeared in Fantastic Four #15, 1963.
I currently have a piece of original art, and print, up for sale on ebay. I'm looking forward to the new Spider-Man movie! But, I'm fairly sure this scene isn't in it. ebay.io/m/WMCv0d
Last week, I shared the cover I drew for Dr. Eldritch #1, an upcoming indy comic. The creator then commissioned me to color a back cover, using an earlier commission I drew last year. Done and done! (Do people still say that?)
Here's the promotional poster for FREESTATE COMICON in Lawrence, KS on Sept. 12. I based it on 1950's Blue Bolt #105 cover, by the great L.B. Cole. The old man I added is John Brown, a Kansas abolitionist from the 1800's. He's the official "mascot" of the con.
I just finished the cover for "Doctor Eldritch" #1, for an indy publisher. I don't know a lot about the comic. I just went with what the image the writer described. The book isn't out yet, but I was told I'm free to share it. Btw, I didn't do the logo, but I think it's great!
It's "Supergirl Week" over at the 13th Dimension. I decided to draw a new strip. Even though the ending is probably obvious, it was still fun to draw! 13thdimension.com/its-superg…
