This was a fun commission I drew for Kevin Garcia. He reimagined a few public domain, comic heroes and asked if I would create a time-period piece. I did! The below image shows the original golden age characters, and his redesigns.

Wolverine. No! John Brown!
I just finished promotional art for the FREE STATE COMICON in Lawrence, KS. The old man is John Brown, an abolitionist from the 1800's. He's famous in Kansas and is the con's "mascot" of sorts. I based the poster on the Wolverine #1 cover by Frank Miller and Josef Rubinstein.
If you'd like to see more of John Brown on convention posters over the years, here's a fun gallery the convention has put together!

CATLEN: The Movie!
I've been digitizing old family movies-- When I was 13, I made up a superhero named “Catlen.” (I merely put a “t” in my last name. I thought cats were cool.) Growing up in the county, the character gave me something of my own to draw.
As I aged, I decided to make a movie with our family’s wind-up 8mm movie camera. I was 16 or 17. The quality is very varied. My mom could have filmed it properly, but instead I asked a cute girl to do it. Too bad. You can't tell a spinning car wheel is actually off the ground in one scene.
There's no sound, so I added captions with iMovie. It’s 5 minutes long, complete with “special effects!”
You might suspect that the cape and metal disks were inspired by Thor. But actually, I though Nomad looked cool.
I used the tops off Quick containers for the disks on my costume.
And, no, I wasn't supposed to break the glass on the screen door. Oops.

Halo and Sprocket: The Definitive Collection
It's abridged (and better) work. I took the opportunity to change aspects that has bothered me over the years. I tightened up some of the art and spiffied up some of the dialog.
Aside from creating new art for the cover, I also created a new piece for the Forward.
I initially drew the background for this page. As I started coloring it, I decided I loved merely using one of my hiking photos instead!
