armor wars FULL COLOR double-page spread

 After I did the "Alcohol storyline " spread for my pal, Daren Domina some months back, I thought that a similar page, with a montage' of images from the 'other famous Iron Man storyline' might be something fun to do. (I'm obviously a glutton for punishment.) So-- I've worked on a few figure here-and-there each week until I finally finished the massive bugger. Altogether, I estimate that it took me 36 man hours to complete it. Translation: it was a major ball-buster. The original's size is 22"x 17".This drawing was colored by my pal--Ian SokoliwskiI urge everyone to visit Ian's website to check out this talented artist's work.

 

 

BATman "FREAKS" PRESENTATION ART

I found this pencil page recently and I thought it would be fun to share it with everyone. This drawing was from an Elseworlds proposal by David Michelinie and me. Obviously, it wasn't accepted but I loved the basic concept of Batman and his Rogue Gallery all being circus people. Oh, well...I will sell this presentation board--but only with the stipulation that I can ink it first.  I generally don't like to sell my unfinished work.

 

 

 

 

TUSKA IRON MAN VS. KANG INKS

This is the first of several George Tuska pencil drawings that my pal, Daren Domina, sent to me for inking.  Occasionally, I go a little crazy with embellishing on the original--as with this particular  item. Check out the pencils to see what I mean.

GIORDANO/LAYTON BATMAN

 

I recently visited my pal Dick Giordano at his East Florida studio and rummaged through a pile of his unused pencil drawings while I was there. Dickie was kind enough to let me have a few of them to take home to finish. This is one of the very cool layouts I found. (11"x17")

CHAMPIONS #18 VARIANT RECREATION #1

Comic Art Fans.com member and staunch B. L. supporter Mike Jackson requested this homage' to Art Adams' fantastic cover to Classic X-Men #14. (Believe it or not, I received two commissions to create a cover to the last issue (#18) of the Champions in the same week.) In this version, I altered the characters to become the Champs and the baddies they took on during the book's run.

#2 CHAMPIONS #18 VARIANT RECREATION

 Another CAF member and fellow Floridian, Gary Hart, commissioned this recreation based on the classic X-Men #100 cover by Dave Cockrum. Substituting the Champions for the X-Men on the left of the original, Gary wanted me to create a cover for an 18th issue of the Champions--which was never actually published.

IRON MAN NANO armor

During my recent chat at COMIC BOOK RESOURCES on October 13th, the subject came up concerning how I imagined  the Iron Man armor evolving in the future. After that night, I got several requests to visualize my idea.  This drawing, beautifully colored by my pal--Ian Sokoliwski, is the result.
