Mystery cover.. and MCP 90.

Okay, it's not a friday post, but i had to throw this one up just for fun. I haven't a CLUE what this is a cover too...

it's not a Marvel Comics Presents cover, but i remember it was published by marvel DID publish it at some point during that time period. The girls face is a little awkward, but most of my women's faces tend towards that pinched look.

Here's the rough sketch for it too... weirdly i eve kept that. So can anyone know WHAT comic it's  the cover too???????

This one you may remember.. notice how the white out shows up in this first down shot?

..yup...

...yet another ubber-detailed MPC cover.

The classic 'vines' one...M.C.P. 90.

For some reason, a ton of  collectors inquire about buying this one.

it's weird because the vines are the most impressive part, not wolvie or the girl. But if i drew Vines without a super hero.. it's suddenly not collectable.

I understand why, be cause i was a fan too.  Still am. But it's also so puzzling once you grow up, isn't it? Our obsession with popular super hero characters being the most prized.

  I guess it's whatever you grew up reading... when you look back, it suddenly seems special, eh?  This and issue and MCP 86 are probably my two favorites.  dunno why. It's not the detail.

I guess this one is because it seems like such an non-obvious super hero cover. peaceful almost. Can't believe i got away with it.

Okay, this is getting stupid, only so many angels i can photograph it from, eh?  Enough nostalgia crap already... back to my usual weird ass paintings for the next post!

Something with Way$hak

I'm still in a rush on deadlines, (hence this post being a day late), so here's a  hulk old pieces I did a while back... might have been trading cards, can't remember.

Below are a couple unfinished some rough ideas I did for a future collaboration with Jon Wayshak, an amazing dude you may already know of.  We did an gallery show together years ago, and I've loved his stuff for years. He done a ton of paintings, prints, commercial stuff and is getting more into comics too.

The idea is, I start a piece and he finishes it... then i finished one of his. What one starts... and the other tries to blends into that. Or maybe doesn't try to match, maybe the difference is the point.

Trouble is we both keep finishing whatever we start painting ourselves, and I myself, eventually hate whatever it is i started and either chuck it or redraw it, which sounds like Jon does too. These two above were scanned a while back. I can't remember but I think I've finished one of these..

Once we finally DO pass along a bunch of stuff to the other, it will be interesting to see the finish piece.

Meantime, another card. Sorry if you've seen these before..

back to the drawing board.
