You know... I really do love Mark Chiarello... and not just because he thinks of me when a cover like this comes up. He knew this was something I'd have a lot of fun drawing. He's the best. An...

I think this one went on sale yesterday. Colors and seps are by the supremely talented Mr. Chris Sotomayor. By the way, I don't have the slightest idea where that litt...

I think this book is on the stands now so it should be safe for me to post it here. DC asked for the 1938 version of Superman on this one. That's why the boots and chest emblem look so strange. ...

Looks like this is scheduled to go on sale in October and it'll be a hardcover! You can pre-order at the Amazon link over on the right, but they don't have any images yet. With that in mind I hop...

In case some of us have forgotten, this page shows how skillfully Bernie arranges areas of black and white.  He mastered "chiaroscuro" before most of us could spell the word. It's all there in t...

He's probably best remembered for playing Herbert T. Gillis, father of Dobie on "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis", a terrific old sitcom from 1959-1963. That's all the excuse I need to show off ...

These popped up on eBay the other day. You can see the auctions here and here . Stop by and give 'em a bid or two. Grimwood was drawn from a full script, so even at this early stage, I wanted ...

Hey, Halloween is only a few days away... time to do some monster sketches!

I hadn't seen this one for several years but the owner of the original painting posted a scan on the CAF site recently so I thought I'd update my old post , showing the sketch and pencils: ...

As some of you may have noticed, I signed up for a Twitter account last night and was warmly received by many of my cartooning brethren. What you may not know is that my account was suspended th...

A while back I was asked to do an updated version of a Marvel Fanfare piece from the '80's. The commissioner asked for the classic costume and hair. I was able to fix some of the things that both...
