Looking to the Skies

A few months back, I posted the pencils to a Rocketeer commission piece for my pal, Matt. I got around to inking it a while back and finally scanned it the other day.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the piece. Aside from my borderline hero-worship of the work of the late Dave Stevens (the Rocketeer's creator), it remains one of my favorite comic series of all time.

Part of me would love the opportunity to draw a Rocketeer story one day. The reasonable part of me, though, realizes that it always was—and always will be—the territory of Mr. Stevens.

Fortune & Glory, Kid...Fortune & Glory

More from the sketchbook. I drew this a couple months back in anticipation of Indy IV. As important as Star Wars was in jump-starting my imagination back in my formative years, Indiana Jones (and Raiders of the Lost Ark, in particular) have left an indelible mark on me creatively—as evidenced by my work on a certain globetrotting aviatrix.

So taking a crack at drawing the main man was a lot of fun. Not my best effort, but that's what a sketchbook is for, right? To experiment, grow and learn.

I'm Back, Baby, Back!!

Okay. I survived Wizard World Chicago, quit my job to live the fabulous and exotic life of a freelance comic book artist and have returned safe-and-sound from the San Diego Comicon.

This stuff catches up with you.

I'm still plugging away on The Canterville Ghost, and will share more pages soon (as well as new Athena Voltaire work), but I've also really been enjoying playing around in my sketchbook again.

So, in an effort to mix things up, I'll be putting some of that stuff up here, too. Today's offering is a pin-up piece inspired by one of my favorite good girl artists of the 50s, Gil Elvgren.

More Hellboy Fun!

I'm still alive—just swamped until I bid farewell to my day job on July 11—the same day that Hellboy II opens. Speaking of my favorite Right Hand of Doom, enjoy these awesome clips until I return!
