Mid-week and the work keeps coming.



Wednesday and all is well..
Spidey 2099 was a book in the 90's that I always thought was a cool idea.
However it was also the period where I couldn't get a job in the comic biz to save my life.
So I guess I'm torn,,,well not really I made some amazing friends in the 90's.

Also want to thank everyone for all the commission requests that keep coming in.

Actually I am pretty caught up so anyone interested in a color commission
I have flat $100 rate going for single character 11 by 17 sketch.

Thank you for letting me share.

Kraven the hunter...




Friday and man the old SPidey villains are the best.
I hope to make my way through all of them and then hit the Daredevil one.
Even though they were a bit water downed versions of the Spidey bad guys.

Could the Champions be far behind?

Have a great weekend

March 25th and Atomika still has a pulse.




Atomika is moving along and to prove it here is the one of the latest finished pages.
Waiting on colors etc.
