Hulk spanks Batman

Hulk about to make Batman drop some guano.

Batman makes TwoFace eat one of his faces

Batman putting the smackdown on Two Face and his goons.  Third piece in as many days and I'm a little burnt.  So last Bats for a bit (unless DC hires me to draw him of course)  :)

Batman doing some swingin'

Another Batman piece... actually, it's a revamp of a previous Batman commission I drew about two years ago.  Is it an improvement?

Batman v Joker

Long time since I posted anything - but lots of life stuff - selling house, moving, apartment life, buying house, moving again, and unpacking... etc.  But here's my latest commission - it's actually for one of my former editors.

Superman in Space

Superman in space - nuff said.  Available at the Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC this weekend!

Batman and a can of whoopass

Another commission piece for the Heroes Con 2010 in Charlotte, NC next weekend.  I did this piece thinking of Batman but with no real idea as to what he'd be doing.  Originally I was thinking of the Dark Knight Returns Batman laying down some whoopass on that ass of a Superman.  But it kinda just took a life of it's own.  So now it looks like he's just going to put a beat down on some poor suspecting baddies.

Thor's havin' at thee

Latest piece drawn specifically for sale at the Heroes Convention in Charlotte, NC on Jun 4-6 2010. Help me fund my trip there and buy this damn thing!

Green Lantern

Another Ivan Reis inspired piece. Man his stuff is amazing... I wish I could say the same. I'll tell ya, if I could draw like him, I'd be doing comics full time.

Darkest Night

It's been a long time since I've been inspired by any particular artist to this degree. The last time that happened - it was Uncanny Xmen Jim Lee... not the one after that with his kabillion hatch marks. The one that actually used blacks. To a lesser degree, Alan Davis, old school John Byrne, Adam Hughes, and Joe Mad. If I actually spent 12 hours a day drawing and practicing, the way Ivan Reis draws is the way I would draw. He sees things exactly the way I do. He's spankarific...!

Hulk versus Thor

Always wondered who would win this battle? God of Thunder or a genetically enhanced monster that gets stronger the madder he gets...? Hmmm...

JSA

The latest piece which was based on the Avengers piece I did about a year ago.

The Big Three

Another piece for Heroes 09. It started out as a Batman piece, but then I thought I'd do another hero but one that I've never drawn - Hellboy... and then for some reason, I thought it was too moody and serious and added Spidey to lighten em up some. It's interesting.

Fantastic Four

My first attempt at the FF. A piece I did for the Heroes Con 09. The Thing is a real pain in the patooka. If there's an easy way to draw him, I don't know it.

Avengers Assemble

Here's the latest Avengers commission. The client wanted Alex Ross Kingdom Come type style ... which is a bigger pain in the patooka than you'd think. That's just a ridiculous amount of characters. Ross has got to be certifiable. George Perez too. I don't know how they do it, but man, they are definitely nuts.

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.

Superman Wonder Woman Love

Here's a new commission that is a homage to the classic John Byrne Action Comics annual cover.

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!

Batman and Robin kick some ***

Here's my latest piece after the nice long break. I took a month off after having a blast being neck deep with actual comic work (all Gen 13 baby). I have to say Ben Abernathy is absolutely the best editor I have ever worked with (Phil Amara is a very close second - sorry Phil). This is a big thank you to Ben and I'll be sending it off shortly. I hope he digs it. I went through a lot of drafts to make a cool lookin Batman, and when I say a lot, I burned through I think about 8 boards. Batman is such an iconic character I really wanted to avoid the characteristic poses that everyone's done a million times. But then there have been so many talented artists that have put their mark on Batman, that trying to come up with something truly original was like trying to reinvent the wheel. So I thought of the coolest thing I could think of Batman doing and do my take on it. Hopefully, it came out great.

Now I have only 20 more commissions to go...
woo hoo...

The post that got kaboshed

Well, I just finished a commission piece - for a publisher actually, except I just found out that it's something that I can't post ... or talk about ... or discuss... so... nevermind. sigh.
