Freshly Roasted Venom

Here's a great piece just because it gave me a chance to draw Venom. I was particularly interested in recreating the Venom into something lively and pulsing to make it more than just a black pair of pajamas. Hopefully you dig my take on it.

Gambit cometh

Surprisingly the most requested commission at the Heroes Convention this year was Gambit. For a while there I thought there was a Gambit movie coming out or something. I wasn't even sure if Gambit was an active member of the XMen anymore. But hopefully this'll be just as popular next year.

What to do after beating a Sentinel

Apparently, Rogue and Gambit get kinda hot after fighting a Sentinel. Gotta do what you gotta do I guess.

This was a commission that I finished actually a couple of weeks ago, but haven't had a chance to contact the buyer yet and let him know. I actually ran into him at the Heroes Con last year but it wasn't ready then. God I'm slow. Too many life things going on. Still got another dozen to go. I'm working it tho!

Mill-ing and mulling

I have had the great fortune and good sense to befriend one Jon Mills during my time at the Joe Kubert School of Art and this guy has a way with a brush that would make porn starlets blush. He is that good. What he is doing on the outside of comics is beyond me. I think it will only be a matter of time before someone gives him the break he deserves and once he's in, I swear he'll be the next Towsend or Scott Williams. If this guy can make me look good, imagine what he could do with real pros.

Swinging with Spidey

Here's another commission piece for a client. Nothing too drastic, the grand Spiderman swinging in NY. He seems to be a favorite. I get more Spiderman requests than anyone else... altho - I do have one client who seems to be into some of the more unknown heros - his commissions are always interesting... Armor, Knighthawk, Iron Maiden...

As always, comments and critiques welcome.

Welcome!

Welcome to the start of some (probably inconsistent) blogging and posting of art. These will consist of doodles (mostly) and occassionally commissions. I'm trying to get back on the ball after a short break, but having 2 kids eats up a lot of my time and they're a lot of fun BTW. I'll try to start it off with my most recent commission and go from there. You can see older commissions at deviantart.com - so I don't have to repost old stuff.

Comments welcome!
