Batman Gallery Edition....!

Batman Secrets: Gallery Edition, which collects the best of my old Batman original art ~ is finally out.  Friggin' YAY.

Many thanks to the great Bob Chapman, and his designer Josh for all the toil & effort they put into gathering all these pages together in such a nice package.

Classic Maxx cover . .

. . . with a little cut & paste 'photo collage' thrown in for fun. 

Bimbo panel montage

Here's two strip of panels that appeared the 3rd issue of the 'My Inner Bimbo' comic.
----

And here's three different versions of the cover that i mocked up.

The published one has the 'Oni' logo on it.

Chameleon vs Gator

Couldn't draw one . .

. . . so i drew the other.

'Impact' Sound Effect.

Where in a total goofy sound effect is used to create the illusion of impact.

Magic Box detail.

I added 'moss splatters' to the Magic Box,

which appeared on the 3rd cover to the 'My Inner Bimbo' comic.

Series of faces..

Ojo Sketch Book Cover

. . . probably only slightly more interesting than the drawings inside are.

Scratch Projection.

.. in the Scratch series, the main character falls for a girl who's eyes don't match,

the second panel shows how he sees her in his mind's eye.

Maxx Cover: painting textures

Some surface detail that got list in the final printed cover.

Another Chickens page..

Julie Page

Creature Doodle

Two different pics of the same art, each bring out subtle differences.

Have a happy weekend everybody!

Sketchbook Bimbo

Boy w/ Metal Arm project.

I've posted the first page before,

but here's the (slightly less impressive) second page.

Abstract

Don't worry, i don't know what the heck it is either.

But it sure was fun to draw.

I didn't draw this . .

. . . but it's kinda cool piece someone did online.

For a lot of readers..

. . this panel, "for her i can be a hero." panel. . .

. . was one of the more vivid moments from the first issue of the Maxx.

Shadow pin-up.

New "When The Chickens Revolt" page

Here's a piece i cut into an oval,

then pasted onto a wet-in-wet watercolor board.

Chickens Pages insure . . . that nothing in my studio ever goes to waste.

Maxx: classic 'Darker Image' page

goofy stuff

Wooden Cubby-holes with various tiny watch gears & model train bits . .

. . . not always visible in the final covers . .

. . but just goofy stuff i enjoying adding.

Maxx, Another Outback Rock

This is the second Outback Rock which Maxx and the Jungle Queen flew around during the 'climatic realization' scene. 

The original Outback Rock is rounder looking,

but of course . . . you already know that.  

: ) 

Pin-up for a fellow artiists, and a good friend.

Brown Sketchbook 'animal doodles'.

I did some animal sketches for Neil Gaiman and John Layman a while back, which is where the idea for 'Eleanor & the Egret' came from.

Fan seem to like 'em, so here they are again.

The Amazing Mr. Wayshak!

 This amazing Short Story by my buddy Jon Wayshak drew, has some of the best art i've ever seen by him!

Check the video out.

Classic Scratch Page

New Chickens . .

Finished another batch of pages for the eventual collected Chickens art book,

long over due too. Sorry Jon.

'Meat' Painting

This one was inspired by artist Cal Shenkel's artwork on Frank Zappa's classic the album Uncle Meat.   Below is the original album cover.

Eleanor TPB

The collected book will be coming out soon: Lost muse. Egret with eating issues. Stolen Art.

Something for everyone.

Happy New Year!

: )

85

I'm told this was the cover where most people first discovered my work.  Marvel changed the claws on the left hand to make them look less 'curvy'.
