Posting a few of the quick thank you sketches I include with all eBay orders, plus the latest 2 re-inked pages of High Strangeness. If you’re interested in buying my original art or signed comics, head over to my eBay store, I have new items posted daily.

I just finished my first illustration of the new year, a Human Torch commission. Had a lot of fun with this one, because it was traditionally inked at my drafting table. Other than the commissioned art, I do most of my work digitally these days, so it’s nice to pick up a brush now and then. With the commission’s, I’m also drawing on 13″ x 19″ Bristol board instead to the standard 11″ x 17″ format. I’m finding I have a lot more freedom to maneuver on the larger paper, as well as greater opportunity to add more detail and finesse. If you are at all familiar with John Byrne’s run on Fantastic Four, you can likely notice that I borrowed a lot from him, including the costume design and photo-stat style background city scape, with the FF’s Baxter building added.

I also completed re-inking the next page of High Strangeness, and finished pencils of the next 2 pages from Saga of a Doomed Universe II. There will be some photoshop graphic elements on the blank panels of that page.

As I’m selling off much of my old original art, I’m scanning the pieces as they sell, so I have high-res digital versions of everything. This week I sold a Batman (1993), Red Sonja (2010) and Mantra (1994) drawing, plus an original comic strip from a short-lived precursor to High Strangeness, called ‘Strangeness’ (1996). Logo design by Patrick Owsley. I have new items listed daily at my eBay store.

Tomorrow, I’ll have brand new art to share, so be on the lookout for that!
