Spider-Man and MJ's Upside Down Kiss!

I have some new art up on ebay! It includes the above print AND the original art. They could both be yours! Check it out here!

Btw, Spider-Man kissing Mary Jane wasn't the first upside-down superhero kiss. Check out my older blog post from 2009.

Super Antics #21

I had never used Supergirl in a Super Antics before. I decided to change that. Old school!

PS- He's fine. A little heat vision and mouth-to-mouth will fix him right up!

Super Antics #20

Yikes! With blogs falling out of favor in the last few years, I sometimes forget to update mine. Here's a fairly recent Super Antics--

Hopefully Jimmy stopped at this point, instead of continuing to take photos--

All My "Avengers Circle" Commissions

Back in 2023, I drew a commission of Marvel's 1960’s heroes taking the place of the MCU’s team in the first Avengers movie.

Based on this memorable scene... 

People seemed to enjoy my rendition and soon I was commissioned to draw a Justice League of America version!

Then, a different person wanted one of their favorite 1990's Avengers team.

Soon, I received a request to create the scene using humor mascots from various companies.

After a while, a patron asked for a version using various monster-hosts from a variety of horror comics/magazines.

Okay, that's probably enough of riffing on the Avengers movie. Wait! There's more! I was asked to draw a version using Marvel characters from the cheesy TV shows in the 70's and 80's. (Black Widow is from a show that was never made. Angela Bowie, David Bowie's then-wife, bought the rights to a Daredevil TV series. Promotional still photos were taken, but an actual pilot was never filmed.)

Have you ever heard of the "Great Lake Avengers"? Fortunately, I had. Someone asked for a commission of them! Happy to do it.

And last, but not inferior, is this team-- The Inferior Five!

And that's a wrap! (At least for now--)

A Couple of New Commissions

Newest commissions. This was request was for drawing Superman and Lois Lane together. The situation was left up to me.

And this was a request for Green Arrow and Black Canary. I decided to draw a classic battle pose. Well, mostly.

Sad Zombie Watch!

I'm excited to announce Asterisk Watches is producing a wristwatch based on my popular "Happiness is Fleeting" art! The floating arm is the minute hand, while the hour is displayed in a cloud. So fun! Only a couple of weeks left on Kickstarter. Please support this unique collectable by clicking here!

Then, you can hop on over to TeePublic and get a T-Shirt to wear with it! 

DC/Marvel Treasury Editions Commission Edition

 I think that title makes sense. Here's a couple of commissions requested by the same person--

Underdog! Spider-Ham! Darkwing Duck! Hulk Bunny! Both are funny animal versions of two classic Treasury Editions!

I'm sure many of us thought the characters should have been switched, Superman vs. Hulk and Batman vs. Spider-Man. Those team-ups did happen later, but these were the first!

More Stylish than a Tin Foil Hat!

I didn't spend much time on this, quickly pulling various things from the internet. But, I had to better envision the hat I dreamt about last night.

My dream had a generic alien, but I thought Marvin would look good!

Winnie the What?!?

I promised to post more in 2026, so here we go--

With so many classic characters falling into public domain lately, I'm surprised I haven't seen any used in advertising! I'll start to ball rolling.

Sorry.

BAT-HULK!!

The very first Batman comic I owned was The Brave and the Bold #68. It’s an odd story where Batman turns into “Bat-Hulk.” He’s suddenly bulky and has molten-hot hands! I’ve long held a fondness for him and had the urge to do a drawing. You can read a little more about it at the 13th Dimension.

In case you think I'm making it all up, here's the cover to the original comic.

The Story of Bigfoot

Yikes! It's been a year since I've posted here. I currently share new work on Facebook, Instagram, X, and Bluesky. I plan to post here much more often in 2026. In fact, this is a great way to kick off the year--

I'm excited to be part of a Kickstarter campaign that goes live today! It has an amazing lineup of creators, many whom you will recognize. The project is called ORPHAN WORKS. As the site says, “Cartoonists so often have unpublished stories sitting in their files. Now, at last, you'll get to see them too!” To give you a taste, I've posted the first page of a Bigfoot story I contributed.

Please click here to see the entire project.

I'll drop a few names-- Rudy Nebres, Luke McDonnell, Trevor Von Eeden, Matt Haley & Tom Simmons, Christopher Schenk, Stefano Cardoselli, Brandon McKinney, Roberta Gregory, Jeff Bonivert, Tom Stazer, Dean Haspiel, Don Simpson, Michael T. Gilbert, Rob Walton, and Fred Hembeck... Plus more! It's going to be a 250+ page book, available in softback or hardcover.

Please support it if you can. It's going to be a fun book!!!

From Action #1-- Butch and the Gang!

Superman's first appearance in Action Comics #1 is a famous cover.

Not quite as famous is Whiz Comics #2, the debut of the superhero Captain Marvel.

I recently realized that maybe the two covers go together!

The idea cracked me up. I had to draw it!

Animated Chambers of Chills #19!

I decided to animate an old comic cover for October! (Before AI makes my gif-making efforts worthless.) Boo!

Here's the original--

Kirby Self Portrait. Now with color!

I adore this self-portrait of Jack Kirby (with inks by Joe Sinnott), which I recently saw online. I couldn't stop myself from coloring it! (I didn't try very hard to stop.)

Here's the original--

There's so many things to love about it-- A smiling Jack Kirby, a laughing Ben Grimm (aka The Thing), plus Dr. Doom and the Red Skull being wacky villains. So great!

Wonder Woman Glares at Power Girl!

I'm trying something a bit different—I’ve created original art of Wonder Woman and Power Girl to sell on eBay this week. It’s a riff on a famous Sophia Loren/Jayne Mansfield photo. The original art is black ink on 12x12 Bristol board. Whoever wins the art will also receive a 12x12 signed, color print.

You can BID ON IT BY CLICKING HERE.

Oh! And this is the photo I parodied--

Hurry! The auction ends on Sunday, July 21!

As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, I've gotten behind on posting new work. The good thing about that is I can share this Scarlet Witch (done in 2023) and the Vision companion piece (done in 2024) together! Both requested by the same person. I'm told they share a wall space.

Next, the Metal Men! I crack myself up by putting Tin in a super-serious Iron Man/superhero pose, with a crinkled fist. Black ink on Bristol board, plus digital color and signed print.

It's always interesting when a person enjoys a TV show or movie and sends me a commission request to turn it into a fake comic cover. In the case, Killing Eve!

The next commission reminds me of a political cartoon. If you don't know the history of the name "Captain Marvel," just know the name became in Public Domain in the 60's. Previously owned by Fawett/DC, Marvel snatched it up. This saddened readers who had an attachment to the Golden Age character from the 40's-50's.

I'm not an expert on the subject. I merely drew the commission requested by a Golden Age fan. (And yes, the "Circle C" technically should have been a "TM." It's a bit of an oops, but I like this visual better.)

JSA Deja Vu! A few months ago, I completed a commission based on an All Star cover (seen here), with Wonder Woman added. I then received a different request to remove WW and add Wildcat. It also has a different logo and a few other minor tweaks. I completely redrew/recolored it.

Branphibian Breakfast Cereal, on stuff.

I turned this older "Branphibian" image into a TeePublic design, due to overwhelming requests. (Well, one. I get overwhelmed easily.) I changed some wording to make it an obvious parody.

Commissions! Cartoons Addition!

 OMIGOSH! I've gotten waaaay behind on posting my commissions here. I'll catch up soon!

Here's a post I started last October. Yikes!

Quick background on this first one-- When Peter Parker first met Mary Jane in Amazing Spider-Man #42 (1966), it quickly became a very famous panel. But com'on... she's no Olive Oyl!

The person requesting this next commission planned to attend a convention and meet the voice actors for Firestar (from Spider-Man & his Amazing Friends) and Sheila the Thief (from Dungeons & Dragons). It looks a bit empty here, but it won't once it's signed. I wanted the signatures to be the stars!

The person who requested it was kind enough to post a signed version. (Sorry, low res.)

In the 70's, Spectre had a comic series where he punished criminals with appropriate, bizarre deaths. The person requesting this latest commission wanted Halo (from my Halo & Sprocket series) to be looking on disapprovingly. Ha ha! Odd, but fun to do!

This last one was based on a real person-- Captain Karate! He had already had a cartoon version of himself commissioned, which I'll post below my art. Fun piece!
