Shapes in nature that resemble faces.

We've all seen combinations of shapes around us that could be roughly interpreted as a "face". I've thought about starting a website where artists can create their versions of "faces" they find. I had a dream about it, which ended like this series below. All photos are unretouched.

Invulnerability doesn't solve all problems.

Here's a short comic based on a dream I had! Click to enlarge.

Rejection is fun!

I wanted to post a link to Rejected by Covered. It's fun to see what art hasn't made it to the regular Covered site. Plus, today, it shows a cover of mine! Here's my original post when I first created it. I debated who should take the place of the Cowardly Lion. I recently discovered Action Comics #243. Had I known about it at the time, I might have made it an all DC parody...

Hmm, now that I type this, there might actually be a fun DC story in there somewhere...

DC "Cartoon Flips"


I recently obtained a collection of over-sized DC comics from the 1970's. The group included Limited Collections' Edition #3, which contained a Golden Age feature titled "Cartoon Flips starring Superman."

The page had instructions for cutting out, stacking, and flipping the images, but with our magical computers of 2010, I decided to make animated GIFs instead.


Wow, it's like I'm standing in the same room with him! Too bad DC hasn't continued with such fun activities for the kids in the Modern Age.

Oh! I've got it! How about a Cartoon Flip starring Wonder Woman, repeatedly breaking Maxwell Lord's neck...

Monkey Ghost Rider bids you to obey.

I've been meaning to do this...

I have a couple of friends who create web comics and I wanted to mention 'em...

First up, Chickenhare! By Chris Grine. A lot of you might already know about Chickenhare. High adventure. Wonderful art. What more could you want?


Next, The Blabbing Baboon! By Rich Marcej. I'm jealous that Rich manages to do a daily cartoon about his life. You never know what will appear. Plus, he sees lots of movies and shares his thoughts.


Please visit them. I'm certain you wouldn't want the Simian Of Vengeance coming after you.

What if DC published 1970's Marvel characters in the 1960's?

As a follow-up to my recent post where I imagined DC published Marvel characters in the 60's, I thought I'd twist it up a bit and create fake covers using 1970's Marvel characters. Just for fun. Click on 'em to enlarge.

I'm sure this will confuse non-comic fans even more than my last post.

What if DC published Marvel characters in the 1960's?

Have you ever noticed that early Marvel covers typically showcased a superhero fighting a villain, while during the same period, DC covers presented mostly outrageous, character scenarios? I started wondering what DC would have done with the Marvel characters back in the 60's.

Then, I felt compelled to create a couple. Click to enlarge.
