Sentimental Crap . .

. . . actually, that's my favorite kind.

Okay... here's the deal.

I'm no longer gonna beat myself up if i miss a day's post. On average, i'm posting every day, but if some days... i miss a post, no biggie. I seem to rebound by the next day.

Hey, least it's not ever four to six months between posts... like the old days. : )

Oops . . . again.

 Previous day's (forgotten) post . . ,

and one for Today. .

Artwork

nothing much to say here, just another piece of art
lying around my studio.

Vintage Hulk cover.

More Outback Creatures.

Wolvie: Mystery Page.

Here's a question i have. Did this Wolvie pin up ages ago, i do remember that it was published, but i can't remember where.

Soooo . . . . does anyone remember what book this was printed in?

Underrated Maxx cover

I understand why,

the Maxx isn't fully painted,

Julie's figure is lost in the brown sketch paper.

and the logo is probably more interesting than the cover itself. 

but i still . . .  kinda like the fact it's deliberately unfinished.


What do you think?

Sketchbook stuff

During the 'wolvie days'..

Oops.... !

Missed yesterday's post ...

because i'm wrapping up Eleanor 5,

so here's a double ... to make up for it.

Nola as a little girl..

Case of one painting . . divided up into separate panels.

Old Critters Story..

You may have to zoom in on this one, to see the detail.

???

. . .  one of the more abstract Outback Creatures.

1890s: Mysterious Trout Balm... for Man or Beast.

Bottom Quote: A pleasent medicinal elixir, heals colic, swellings, bruises, goneria, and chafes.  For external application only, doctor's 'Balm of Choice', four of five times. 

* Misspelled words: 'pleasant' & 'gonorrhea.'

Note: Spelling errors are frequent occurrences in Vintage Twout Ads.  
 

Old stuff.

This one's from an old early draft of the 'Art of Sam' book.

Vintage Maxx collage cover

Another Outback Critter..

Dark Twout

Aliens

. . . the Big Brained kind.

This is really stupid, but..

i just realized, 'Nola', name spelled backwards ( minus an "e") . . .

. . Is 'alone'.

Another one...

.. from the I Before E collection, and what i called the 'Berni Wrightson dilemma.' 

Which was, namely, since we already have a perfectly good Wrightson, then what should i do . . .

. . to find my own style? 

The Outback is an excuse to...

.. draw whatever kinda tree i want.

Early inking efforts.

Choose your Joker.

Left is the first Joker Cover i drew in the 90s,

Right is the Painted Joker Cover i did for Batman Secrets,

many years later.

Preference? 

Maxx trading cards..
