Being a “hand draw” artist, I guess this makes me something of a dinosaur! Let’s keep humans in the arts. And I don’t mean the human creating or using AI to steal our work!

Spidey-Man

Here are the pencils for a parody cover I started, in class, as an example for my students, who were learning drawing for comic books. Yes, we covered your standard ‘adventure’ style drawing and storytelling (plus Manga). But I’ve always been partial to humorous storytelling, in my own work anyway.
You can imagine the thoughts that went through their heads as I demonstrated this 5 point perspective piece. Not to worry, I only made them do a 2 point perspective. Couldn’t have 10-12 years old’s heads exploding! (well, not again)
Inks and color to follow!

Pool Party Pencils

Working on a set of humorous/parody pieces for an upcoming comicon. Here are the pencils for the first one – “Pool Party,” or “Party at Tony’s.” These characters do get out of hand.
Batmobile for Sale Pencils
Just finished the pencils on this newest piece. This time, Batman get’s roped into a lease by – guess who?
Trick or Treat, Spidey!
Working on this Spiderman/Halloween piece. Here are the pencils and the inks. Getting pretty close with the color. Will post soon.
Gotta say, while the inks transfer better, I do love pencils. Particularly the texture and depth they have – Although you have to see them in person to fully see it. (‘course, I laove the way the inks look too!)
Tales to Astonish!
As promised (to my students) here is the full set – from pencils to inks to full color for the “Tales to Astonish” No. 14. I’ll have the Manga cover done soon. Stay tuned!
Tiger Cub
I took one of the images, from the “Baby Animals” coloring book I am working on, and did a more complete illustration. Thinking I may use this as part of the cover image (color, of course).
A day of Drawing
These are the drawings I’m working on today: A political cartoon, 2 pages for the coloring book I’m working on, and 2 superhero drawings for an upcoming class.
Busy day. Love it!
