"We Should be Toasting Absent Friends..."

"... Instead of These Comedians"- Elvis Costello

I can finally show this one, being that it was done as a result of a special request from my pal Airmax (www.airmaxanimated.com) for a special holiday custom figure project. For those who don't know, this is the Comedian from the epic graphic novel "The Watchmen" by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

Stop by Airmaxanimated.com to see the entire completed project, and for a chance to win one of these amazing custom action figures done in the style of the DC animated JLU toyline.

Marty Nodell 1915-2006

Marty Nodell, the creator of the Golden Age Green Lantern passed away this weekend at the age of 91. I don't have anything to say that won't be said by other people, being said better by them than I could ever hope to. I only met Marty briefly in "artist alley" at a convention a few years ago, but have been inspired by his greatest creation my entire life. I am reposting an image that was created by Jeff Kilpatrick and myself that I finally sent it to Marty a few months ago. Being that Marty was born and raised in Philadelphia, we thought that we would honor Marty with our own little tribute on behalf of ourselves and the other members of the Philadelphia Cartoonist Society.

Rest in Peace, Marty. You have inspired us all...

Are you happy now, Lou???

A lot in the works, but not too much to show other than this piece here... I'm pretty much only posting this in order to keep my buddy Lou from Geek Boy Press quiet for about 15 minutes or so... This was done on a lark as a tribute to another of my musical heroes, Mr. Tom Waits! His new 3 disk collection entitled "Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers, and Bastards" comes out tomorrow (Nov. 21st), as it shall quickly be added to my x-mas wish list (does anyone else remember the Sears Holiday Catalog? I thought so...) So enjoy until I get more done to post... Choke on it, Lou!!!

How could you not "Trust" this face?

Howdy kids,
Got a little busy, from Baltimore Comic-con then directly to this little project. I was lucky enough to be asked to participate in a group show recognizing beauty and majesty of the original 33 1/3 rpm vinyl album. It's a traveling, reoccurring show that takes place through France, mostly around Paris. I completed this and another "EC" themed piece... To find out more about the show, check out http://ditestrentetrois.free.fr/
But I gotta warn ya, it's in French!

More new stuff!

I finally got around to doing two of the most requested characters of the DC universe. My wife had been naggin' me to finally create a Batgirl, and I know a few other folks that will be happy to see this addition to my collection...
