Shenanigans & Tomfoolery

Without getting too much into it, I think that the Starfire controversy last year was partly due to a failure in the writer and artist to properly convey the nature of the character and not so much in the skimpiness of it all. Koriand’r shouldn’t be covered up like a nun, she’s an alien princess [...]

The announcement of the oft-rumored Watchmen prequels, officially titled “Before Watchmen,” has taken the comic book world by storm in an understandably polarizing fashion. Alan Moore, unsurprisingly, has been quick to make a stand against the prequels saying that it’s “completely shameless” and “I want this not to happen.” I’ve been sitting back, taking all this [...]

This was done for the newly started Drink and Draw NYC weekly challenges. It’s amusing to me that I’m doing these from Barcelona but I loved going to the Drink and Draw gatherings back in the lovely city of New York so these online challenges are a great way to keep in touch with that [...]

For the Project: Rooftop redesign challenge. It was hard to figure out what I needed to keep to make him recognizable as Invincible. I tried to change the headpiece but, no matter how I did it, it stopped looking like Mark so I kept that pretty much intact. I also like the large “I” on [...]

Who doesn’t love Power Girl? I’ve been keeping busy (thankfully) so I haven’t had a whole lot of time to work on my own stuff but I’ve been wanting to draw Power Girl for a while so I gave myself a break and knocked this out. I like how it turned out but it’s just [...]

I was beside myself with excitement when I learned that the entirety of the 100 Bullets team would be working on a sci-fi book, even if I had no idea what to expect from it. As a genre, science fiction is as far removed from crime as you can get and I was curious as [...]

I’ve had the line art for this done for over 3 months and I tried to color it once or twice during that time but today, finally, I woke up and said “this is the day that I finish this” so here it is. First things first: I based this piece on the cover to [...]

Argh! I overwrote my PSD file with a low res version again! I should kill myself. But anyway, this is a fairly conservative redesign of Batman. I gave him a bit or armor and, in an effort to give the character more “bat” qualities, I removed the eye slits and, though it may not be [...]

My first SKRATCHJAMS entry in quite a while. The challenge was to, you guessed it, redesign Superman. I’ve been in a serious funk in the last few days, mostly because of the quality of my art. I started at least 4 different pieces and dropped them halfway through (or earlier) because I didn’t feel they [...]

At midnight tonight, the entirety of the DC Universe will begin its relaunch of 52 titles starting at #1 along with day and date digital releases. It’s a bold initiative from DC that, while not completely bulletproof, deserves to be applauded. Living in New York has spoiled me a little but, now that I’m residing elsewhere, [...]
