Punisher In "Die For Pie..."








From week 156, the theme was:
With the news that J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman are leaving Batwoman, we thought it would be interesting to have you come up with all-time dream runs that would never happen on various superhero titles and our artists will try to make it come to life as best that they can. Ernest Hemingway/Steve Ditko on Superman? Bill Watterson on X-Force? James Joyce/Pablo Picasso on Spider-Man? Feel free to get weird!
Twitter follower, hundbot suggested: A random 5 year old writing and drawing The Punisher.  Posting this one earlier in the queue as well as it's been making the rounds.  Had a lot of fun creating this one.

Miller Metal Logo



Here's an example from a few logos I've done.  This one I did a few years ago for Miller Metals, a local fabricator here in RI and owned and operated by a good friend of mine.  He likes lions.

Bob Dylan And The Teen Titans


From week 151, the theme was:
Ostensibly because of the 10th anniversary of the Teen Titans cartoon and of Geoff Johns’ Teen Titans #1, but really just because Bill Walko wants the theme to be this, the theme this week is the Teen Titans! Mash-up any era of Teen Titans with ANYthing – a movie (Teen Titans in the Hangover), another comic book (the Teen Titans as the cast of Saga), a TV show (the Teen Titans as the cast from Saved by the Bell), a novel (Teen Titans in Pride and Prejudice), a video game (Teen Titans in Mortal Kombat), whatever you’d like! Go nuts!
Twitter follower, BigMike20X6 suggested: Bob Dylan & the Titans in the 60s.  Jealousy, lust, drug use, and music appreciation, folks.

OHOTMU: The Death-Throws







My second entry for Jon Morris' "The Official Handbook Of The Marvel Universe: Reduxe Edition", a project for which Jon invited a plethora of artists to redraw some entries of characters featured in Marvel's deluxe handbook from the mid '80s.  Nothing is more scary than a troupe of deadly skilled jugglers!

Psychic Fair And Comic Expo



Coming up on October 19th, Annex Comics here in Newport, RI is hosting a small comic expo of sorts.  Local talents will be offering wares and services as we try to hash out what it takes to host a mini-con.  I'll have art and comics at my own table available.

I did this poster up real quick, laying and manipulating type and cleaning up a pilfered, Kirby Professor X head from an old X-Men logo.  Also, I was going for a Rick Griffin look, but sacrificed style for legibility.
