In memory of our friend Dwayne Mcduffie



Back when the world was young
My dear friend Buzz introduced me to Dwayne at SDCC

Never met a nicer guy, Dwayne's contribution to the art form will be dearly missed.
In his memory- Hardware.
Rest in Peace Dwayne.

Punisher ?



Always liked the original Spidey version.
But decided to cut loose with a few bullets added.
Not my best but I wanted to be sure and get something new up
on the site today.

Classic Spidey Villains



Always my favorites.
From the period that the master John Romita Sr was on Spider man
I was hooked (loved Ross Andru also but not like Romita)

The Draftsmanship of Mr Romita set the standard for me.
Like any good movie or book the villains are as important as the hero.
Spier man had some of the best.

My version of the Green Goblin is a small love letter to those days as
a kid in my room on Magnolia reading Marvel comics.

oops sorry if it turned into a Reader's Digest piece here.

Judge Dress- Still sick as a dog...


My 3 year old continues to bring home more germs
than a stairmaster.
Got strep throat and feeling like 200 lbs of chewed bubble gum.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Can't wait to see the sun again.
Judge Dredd?- My first attempt, always liked the character
and its UK feel.

Sick and getting worse...



Been sick all weekend..
Got the nasty sore throat and all that kind of stuff.
Still trying to keep on the board..
Super Bowl is tmrw the funeral of football for a while.

Sketch of the day-Two face (Harvey Dent)
Went more for the Bruce Timm version than the one on the film.
Used my son's marker set
