Iron Man/Silver Surfer Double Page

 

 

Russell Sheath commissioned me to do this Surfer illo a few months back, with the option of connecting it to a second board with Iron Man later. As you see, the two individual pages hooked-up nicely.

RED SONJA #12 VARIANT RECREATION

 

This cover was a lot of fun for me. Commissioned by Matt Stock, this recreation was based on the cover original drawn by Frank Brunner. However, Matt asked me to tackle the assignment using the inking techniques I learned from my work with Barry Windsor-Smith. This was the end result.

X-Men/Emma Frost Commission

 

This page was commissioned by Tony Wages, who asked for an original cover composition that featured the White Queen from the X-Men. Since I don't get that many requests for good girl art, I really had a blast doing this particular drawing.

 

 

IRON MAN #174 variant Recreation

 

The fellow who commissioned this cover was forced to cancel it at the last minute, due to personal financial problems. I always try to be understanding about these things, (sh*t happens...) so I refunded his money and assured him that someone will give this commission a good home. No hard feelings. The concept is based on the cover layout to Inhumans #8 by Gil Kane.

 

PAUL RYAN FANTASTIC FOUR # 383 RECREATION INKS

 

 

This recreation was part of a huge stack of pages that I inked for Gary Sella of N.J. last month.   I jumped at the chance to embellish this particular one because of the fabulous pencils of my former inking assistant, Paul Ryan.

Marvel Two-In-One Annual #8 Commission

This piece was commissioned by CAF member Brian Sagar. There wasn't actually a Two-in-One Annual #8--this was something we came up with 'on the fly'. Brian has a nifty website devoted to Ben Grimm/Team-up art that everyone should check out.

IRON MAN  #126/SUPERMAN #8

HOMAGE'

 

This commission, requested by Dom Masullo, was based on the original cover of Superman #8 by John Byrne and features a worse-for-wear Iron Man rogues gallery.

RON WILSON CAPTAIN AMERICA INKS

This cover recreation was penciled by my ol' Marvel pal Ron Wilson for Michael Finn. Mike was kind enough to ask me to ink it, but since he's located in England, we determined that it would be simpler if I inked it from a xerox scan. Check out the original pencils below.

RON WILSON SUPER-VILLAIN TEAM-UP INKS

 

This recreation was done for my pal, Larry Clay of WI. The paper Ron had pencilled this cover on was poor quality, so I had to lightbox the pencils onto a new board before inking.

GEOFF ISHERWOOD DR. DOOM INKS

 

This was another of the pencil pages that Gary Sella commissioned me to ink.  Since I've never had the opportunity to ink Geoff before,  AND it was Dr. Doom--how could I refuse?

AMAZING SPIDER-MAn #240 RECREATION

This recreation  is part of a cache' of art which was recently returned to me by my agent Spencer Beck.  I'm offering several pieces from that stash as my "Spend your Tax Refund" special.
