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! 

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!

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!

Commissions! Avengers! Spider-Man! Harley Quinn! More!

First up-- The Avengers! This commission was for me to draw the iconic scene from the first Avengers movie into a comic panel, but using 60's characters. I tried a grey Iron Man and a grey Hulk, but they disappeared into the background too much. I'm fairly sure Tony couldn't look up in that outfit. I had to lean him back. 😋 Here's a frame from The Avengers movie.

Next, a horizontal version of All-Star Comics #4, with three more characters added. I had to do some rearranging! If you think Flash runs funny, I just assumed he could speed-walk and still beat everyone!

A few weeks later, that commission lead to another version, this time with Wildcat instead of Wonder Woman. It also has a different logo and a few other minor tweaks. I completely redrew/recolored it!

I originally drew the following Spider-Man in a sketchbook, in black ink only. I thought it would be fun to spiffy it up and give it a color treatment. 

It is, of course, based on Amazing Fantasy #15.

Oh No! That reminds me-- I never posted this poster I did for a local comic convention! Dang. It's already come and gone. I was there. It was fun!

Next, I was asked to merely draw Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. The situation was left up to me. I might have gotten a little carried away with roses.

Here's a commission of Golden Age Wildcat. As I was drawing it, I mentioned to my wife I’ve never quite understood the flappy things hanging down from his mask. She replied, "Oh, it’s like a bobcat." Ah. Bobcats DO have them. I guess it was the black costume throwing me. On a different note, I’m not sure how I neglected to draw pants on the bad guy. Insert your own story here.

Finally, a little-seen E-Man Annual printed by DC Comics, OR my latest commissioned artwork? YOU decide!
