Happy Birthday, Jack Kirby!

Jack Kirby was the undisputed King of Comics. Nobody before him or since has rivaled the intensity of his output or his feverish creativity. Most of what we know and love in comics is either derived from or came directly from his hand. We all salute this man, who was the paragon of our craft.

This is the design sketch for a little tribute to Kirby that i stuck into my run on Punisher: Franken-Castle, which is the stained glass window from the monsters' church, featuring Kirby's monsters and his vision of God himself, based on several drawings he had done, which may look familiar to readers who remember another iteration of God I have drawn in some comics.

Sketch of the Day! DEADMAN

I've had a fistful of these Copic-rendered sketches sitting on deck for months now, so i figure it should start posting them. I'll put one up every Friday until i've posted all those 5-minute requests. That should carry me through a few more weeks.

I've always had a soft spot for DC's supernatural characters, and Boston Brand is one of the coolest. Here's my ghoulish take on DEADMAN.

8.5" x 9.75, inks & acrylics (w/ Raphael brushes) and Copic Marker on chipboard.

The original art for this piece can be found over in the STORE.

Sketch of the Day! THE MAXX

Last week, i did a broadcast where i sketched up a big pile of 5-Minute requests.  This one features Sam Kieth's groundbreaking THE MAXX.

8.5" x 11", inks on card stock.

Introducing ART OF THE DAY!

 First up, I'm offering this BATMAN #32 cover, from Snyder and Capullo's Zero Year arc.

I'm proud to say we've finally scanned and cataloged almost all of my Original Art, and we'll be posting a new featured piece every day! We have covers and pages from almost every book I've worked on, as well as a load of original art from a whole slew of other projects! 

Keep an eye out as we get everything loaded in and posted!
