A New Marvel Sample

Trying to drum up new work...I messed around with a Marvel sample. I tried to hit as many different kinds of mood as I could on this one: romance, suspense/espionage and action.

It was a lot of fun! Tackling new things is always a learning experience.

Commission: Booster Gold

This one was my first wash commission. I plan on doing a lot more of these.

Commission: Rocketeer

Except for Athena Voltaire, I've done more Rocketeer commissions than any other character. And it's always fun.

I messed around with incorporating a sepia wash on this one.

Back to the blog--another birthday down

Sorry I've been so quiet...work, work, work!

I just celebrated a birthday a couple of days ago and was reminded by a childhood friend that I share a birthday with a famous public figure!

Interesting Steve Birthday Trivia
When I was 1 or 2 years old, the cereal Cap'n Crunch ran a contest for kids to submit their birthdays. A select few with the Cap'n's birthday would win a 5-speed bike. My folks submitted my brother and me. Guess who had a 5-speed bike before he could walk? Yes, I have the same birthday as Cap'n Crunch. True story.


Being a child of the 60s, I can't help but reimagine the pitch meeting of the ad agency and the General Mills executives through a Mad Men filter...


General Mills Executive: We'd like to tie in a contest with our new cereal, Cap'n Crunch. Maybe give a prize to the kid who shares the Cap'n's birthday.

Pete Campbell: Kids love contests! A great prize would be a savings bond!

Peggy Olson: A toy...kids love toys.

Sal Romono: When I was a child, I always wanted a dollhouse, with lots of pretty dollies...

Don Draper: A bike. Throughout life, we're always going somewhere...but the destination isn't important. That's what Cap'n Crunch is about...the voyage on the high seas of childhood, passing though the sugary milk of bloated sweetened corn cubes into adulthood.

Commission: Wonder Woman

Today's commission is that amazing amazon. Lots and lots of fun this time out!

Commission: Blackhawk

Another quickie commission; this time, it's Blackhawk, DC's swashbuckling aviator. Col-Erase pencil on bristol board, 9" x 12".

Yeah, I was thinking "Bruce Campbell" while drawing it.
