the brave & the bold #28 - justice society of america variant

This page, a take-off of the original outing of the Justice League, was commissioned by Arthur Chertowsky.
 

starjammers variant

This page was commissioned by Ted Latner and features the characters made popular by the late, great Dave Cockrum.

captain america #31 variant

This page, a perfect representation of propaganda art from the 1940's was commissioned by Peter Nyugen.  Peter is 31, Asian, and specifically has a love for comic propaganda art from that era.  To quote Peter, "The historical significance is what fascinates me, and especially the demonization of various cultures, be they German or Japanese to perpetuate the ideology of American hegemony is something I don't think as a society we should ever forget...although it seems we always do."   I couldn't agree more, Pete! The cover was originally drawn by Alex Schomburg with the variant replacing Bucky with a female sidekick.

featuring the Maid of Steel.

polaris single figure

the wasp single figure

This single figure illustration was commissioned by Paul Bauer. Paul requested the most current costume for Janet--and given her extensive wardrobe over the last three decades, I was relieved that he was so specific.

wonder girl single figure

This commission of the new Wonder Girl from DC  Comics (the blonde version) was requested by Jason Scanlon,  Jason said that the character has a couple of different costumes, but he didn't care which one I chose. His only major request is that she have bare feet in the piece!

Like a boob, I forgot the barefoot part and had to redo the entire drawing.

But--the customer is always right!  Thanks for your patience, Jason.

robot man single figure

Deane Aikins asked for this commission for DC's Robotman, which he said was, in his opinion,  the "Golden Age Iron Man".  Hey--who am I to argue with an Assistant Professor at the  Department of Psychiatry at Yale's School of Medicine? I do get interesting clients, don't I?

taskmaster Single Figure

This single figure of the David Michelinie-created character was commissioned by my pal, Larry Clay.

x-o manowar #1 variant

Brett Culp gets the "Most Unusual Commission Request of the Month" award!

Brett asked that sections of this cover recreation, like the face & torso, reflect a finished inked style while the background and other elements could have more of a preliminary look.

When I asked him why, Mr. Culp replied that he wanted it to reflect both the creative spirit of a "work-in-progress" and my skills as an artist.

red skull and captain america

This page was commissioned by my pal and long time supporter--Jeff Harnett.

mandarin vs. iron man

Iron Man in his Golden Avenger armor battling Mandarin in one of his classic costumes was the request from Edward Walker. I used a scene from one of the early Tales of Suspense covers as the inspiration.

creature from the black lagoon

Frank Cairo, when he sent his commission request, said that he's a huge Creature from the Black Lagoon fan and would love to see my

rendition of that character.  Here you go, frank!
