Hi all!
So, like I mentioned yesterday, SuperBatober starts this weekend! During the entire month of October I'll be drawing and posting a new little Batgirl and/or Supergirl related sketch based on these official InkTober prompts:
I thought about maybe using some different prompts this year because some of these are, uh...not great. Half the fun of this challeng...

Two posts in one day. Hope everyone is okay with that! Wanted to get this Kara (and Streaky) up just in case I lose power overnight.
Plus, this and the character sketch I posted earlier today make a nice precursor to next month's drawing challenge festivities. SuperBatober 2022 starts in just a couple of more days! Eeeek!

Hi all! Still have power. Still drawing. Here's Babs in her fun Burnside outfit from a few years ago.
Really appreciate all the well wishes on my last post. Just some light drizzling this morning. With the new path, don't expect we'll take a big brunt of Ian here north of Tampa but my prayers are going out for those south and east of us. Charlie had a similar path a couple decades ago and that thing just tore through Florida. High hopes that everyone's better prepared this time...

Am I continuing to work on character sketches while I wait on a hurricane to hit me? Yes. Yes I am.
Anyhoo, here's a Golden Age Catwoman! I don't think I've ever drawn this outfit before. Was a fun one.
BTW...I miiiiight be losing power this week, so if you don't see anything else from me for a few days, that's probably why. I should be okay otherwise. I'm north of Tampa and we don't usually get hit too hard (might have a lot of leaves to clean up this weekend though). 2022-09-27 00:09:02 +0000 UTC View Post
Hi all! One more character sketch to end the work week. Emma Frost in her classic White Queen attire.
Have a great weekend!

Okay! After a bit of book promotion, back to hammering out a few more character sketches before SuperBatober slams into me.
To start, here's Firestar, from Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. :)

My pal Scott Fogg just launched a campaign for his new super hero comic, NIGHTCARE, and asked it I'd draw a variant cover for it. Great characters (all designed by another pal of mine, Mayday Trippe), a really fun team dynamic, and catching me at juuuust the right time in-between projects made this a blast to draw. You can back the comic right now...

Hi, all! A little more new art for you this week. :)
XP-pen was kind enough to send me one of their tablets to try out--specifically this Artist 12--and the above is one of the more "polished" sketches I drew with it.
Once I found a computer to connect it to (the XP-pen driver interferes with my Wac...

Hi, my friends!
Sooo...I was planing on posting some other art tonight, but Abrams surprised me by revealing the cover for my latest graphic novel. So I'm posting that instead. SURPRISE! It's a Spider-Man book. :)

Hi all! Here's a quick wind down sketch of Mariner for #StarTrekDay yesterday. 🖖🏼
I love Lower Decks sooooooo much. I initially discounted it as a sorta adult swim kinda thing but it's not at all! It has so much heart, hope, hijinks and probably other things that start with "H." Oh! Hilarious. That's another one. I feel like it was totally made for someone like me who's seen every other Trek thing, wants to know what's happening off the bridge, and needs comedy and/or levity every...

Hi all! Hope everyone is off to a great week.
Here's another character sketch. This one of my favorite X-Person. Heads up: If you ever ask for a Kitty Pryde, chances are you're also going to get a bonus Lockheed to go along with it. I find it hard to draw one without the other.

I got a bunch of rad prints in the mail yesterday. :)
It doesn't look like it here, but there are over 1600 prints in those stacks. I didn't want to unwrap all of them yet due to limited space and fear of them getting damaged piled around my studio (I have two kids and a cat after all).
But the couple of stacks I did open and inspect look FANTASTIC. Like, really great. Color is vibrant, linework is sharp (even with my fuzzy digital brush), and the ones I left full bleed (...

Here's another character sketch. The pink-haired female ravager from the Black Panther episode of Marvel's What If? show (drawn for the voice actress of the character).
Cheers to a great work week!

Here's a little Supergirl sketch to end the work week. :)
I'll be drawing/painting a ton of these little character sketches over the next few months (trying to make up lost time for some patrons). How would y'all prefer I post them? One at a time or in batches?

NEW UPDATE!
I don't often do this because it's a terrible use of my time, but the drawing of She-Hulk I originally drew for this post always kinda bugged me. I think I rushed to get it done in time for Monday and didn't take the proper time to make sure her gamma-radiated body was as muscularly accurate as a gamma-radiated body should be.
So, unbelievably having caught up on some things today, I spent about thirty minutes making some very subtle changes t...

Hi, all. Here's another little pinup sketch. Not sure why I decided to give her robot parts. Just for something different I suppose.
Hope everyone is having a great week. 🌹

Like many folks in my social feeds last week, I started watching the new The Sandman series on Netflix. Unlike most of the folks in my social feeds I haven't finished it yet (haha). My wife and I only watch one episode together a night (we're about halfway through, past The Sound of Her Wings episode--my favorite so far).
Gotta say, as a long-term Sandman fan, I'm really impressed with how closely they are mirroring the comics while simultaneously tweaking the...

Hi, friends! It's been slow going for me, but managed to get some new art drawn to end the work week. Uploaded a quick time-lapse of it HERE.
I'm still toying with the idea of putting a little pinup book together. I've only ever published one art book in my career: A little 42-page, b&w thing almost ten years ago. It'd be nice to put together something a little bit more substantial--in color--with maybe a...

A little Quorra to greet you at the start of the work week. Still bums me out that we never got a sequel to Legacy as I thought they set up some cool stuff with her character. At least Uprising was awesome (although wish we got more of that too).
I'm going to be taking a little reset day myself. As someone who really values their productivity, I'm over a week behind in everything. I also have a lot of spinning plates. Going to look over what needs to get done, organize priorities, and c...

UPDATE AGAIN! Okay, enough of you have spoken so the above piece is now available in the print sale. Here's a direct link. Remember to make a note if adding to a previous order so I can reimburse your shipping. It'll only be in there until Aug 15th.

Soooo...you may (or may not) have noticed I didn't get a Happy Monday drawing up yesterday and I really apologize for that. The above comic is a fairly accurate account as to why. Despite getting all my vaccines, booster, skipping conventions, and even already having COVID two years ago around this same time, the pesky virus got me again. And this sequel to 2020 hit me pretty hard. I was pretty much incapacitated for three days straight.
Thankfully I'm feeling a lot be...

I've been meaning to draw my pal Doc Shaner's recent Mary Marvel redesign for a while now and finally did. I'm a big fan of Mary and exited to see where this new series that he's drawing takes her.
In the Maihack DC Universe, Mary's only about nine-years-old (even in Marvel Mode) and the only other s...

Hi, friends!
Here's a little Poison Ivy watercolor to hopefully brighten up your week midway through. It was originally intended to be next week's Happy Monday sketch but after drawing it I decided it would work much better if I colored it traditionally. I even remembered to snap some pics of my process as I was painting, which you can see above.
For anyone who might be interested in the original, I'll post the usual private auction tonight or tomorrow (for Wild Spac...

Hi, all!
Had some unfortunate AC issues over the weekend so wasn't able to get a proper Happy Monday sketch done for today. My studio was just too hot to keep the Cintiq running! Instead, here's a simple Supergirl watercolor I was able to finish up. The nice thing about watercolors is I can paint them just about anywhere. Hope it's enough to brighten the start of your week! Since it wasn't for anyone in particular, I'll make the original available in a separate post for any Wil...

All right, gang! Here we are. After over two years, I've finally added a bunch of new prints to my web store. There is soooooo much stuff in there now. Maybe too much. I tried to accommodate recent requests and art that folks have asked for in the past. However, if there is something you were hoping to buy that's not in there, just LMK and I'll consider adding it.
In addition to new prints, I've...

Barring what I'm sure will be a few copyedits, I finally finished the side graphic novel I've been working on today! While I can't really say much about it, I did have to scribble the above red and blue arachnid obsessed guy quite a bit.
All in all, it took me about four months to write, draw and color the 80-page book. Not a pace I would recommend or even commit to ever again, but I do think it came out really fun and I'm glad I took it on. I'll for sure give more details about it as i...
