SUPER POWERS

Superman vs Lex Luthor

It's Monday, and I think that makes it a perfect time to post some Superman fan art. I'm always inspired by the art from the classic Super Powers toy line. Not incidentally, if I ever get to design a Superman show this would be the style.

THe MANDALORIAN

The Mandalorian

Disney Plus is out and it's been consuming my days and nights! All that classic content at my finger tips has been amazing! my wife and I have watched classic features and toons from the back catalog. I've started watching the 90's X-MEN cartoon and it still holds up for me. I love it. Last night we watched the MANDALORIAN and we loved it. It was fantastic to see some new STAR WARS and really enjoy it. The show was swiming around in my head all day so this warm up had to burst out of my brain!

Line it Up

Joker, Harley, Catwoman, Bane

I'm a big Superman fan, but I like Batman too and I gotta say, Bats has a great line up of baddies to punch. I've been leaning into design more recently and I was inspired to take a shot at this bad bunch. I wanted to stay true to what I love about each of these characters while, hopefully, adding my own flair. I feel like I'm not quite happy with Harley. I think her head is probably a little too big, but I love how the Joker came out. Really creepy!

X-DUDES

X-MEN with an 80s flair

I have recently been collecting the 90's versions of the X-Men from Marvel Legends. I love the figures and they have gotten me all nostalgic for the old school X-cartoon from the 90's. I loved that show! I would wake up every Saturday morning super excited to watch the drama unfold.  That's why I sketched up this piece with Wolverine and Cyclops. This image was just was just clawing it's way out of me!

The BATMAN

I'm really working to bring more story to my art lately. For me that means less pin up art and more story driven pieces that say something, along with more interesting camera angles. This piece is all about my love for the classic timeless idea of batman. I wanted to convey a version of the characters that always resonated with me.

Begin Again

After far too long I've come back to my blog. The last couple of years I have focused primarily on building my instagram presence without giving much attention to my other digital outlets. After having a huge life change with a kidney transplant, I've decided that moving forward in animation and comics is going to require me to deliver more in order to be visible to a wider audience. Now that the surgery is done and I'm recovering and have more energy than I have in years it's time to make moves.

This piece was one of the first things I drew after the surgery so I decided it should be the first thing I share. The first of many!
