'Anda' Cover

This was for an IDW comic I did a cover for many years ago.

The first draw is the finished version,

and the second is the rough art without the background & foreground figures.

Quickie sketch,

More about fabric textures than anything else.

Chickens: Flowers won't . . .

Epicurus: Cerberus

Mirthful version of the three headed hounds of Hades.  Hey, nobody told me the dog heads couldn't be bulldogs.

From Bat-Maxx Issue 4.

Graffiti Girl

Wolvie vs. Venom: Double Shot

Two different versions of the same moment.

Dad & me . . .

Fashion edit

Here's a quick sketch which is part of a larger fashion picture.

For me the fashion stuff is less about detail and more about quickly capturing a certain mood or attitude.

They don't always work, but it's worth trying to stretch myself.

Batman-Maxx . . . Colored!

I posted the B&W of this one before, but here's Ronda Pattison's impressive coloring job on it.

Epic Panel

As in 'Epicurus', the title of the graphic novel.  Not describing in the panel I drew here as 'epic'.

Mom's Day

Painting I did for my mom today.

Charon, from Epicurus

. . . this panel was an obvious nod to the late great Bernie Wrightson.

'When the Chickens Revolt'

Panel from an online collaboration Jon Way$hak and I started ages ago.

Where it all started . . .

If Jim Lee hadn't asked me to draw this short story in Darker Image,

then the Maxx may not have even happened. 

Red head

Venom picking on Wolvie

These two just never seem together along.

If you look real closely . . .

. . you can see a face on this Tree.

Gold Kimono

Here's one I did on spare "L" shaped piece of black bristol board lying around the studio.

Here's a closer shot.

 I particularly like the metallic looking texture on her hair.
