Amazing Heroes was a great little magazine for comic book fans. At some point, the editors decided to take a page from Sports Illustrated and devote an annual issue to Superheroes in swimsuits. It was a cute idea and they became very popular issues.
This digital sculpture takes me back to my days working on Dungeons & Dragons projects at TSR, Inc. Back then, I didn’t get to paint as many Dragons as I would have liked, so this was a fun exercise for me.
Eric Nesheim was responsible for several great card collections from Kitchen Sink, including the wonderful Saucer People set (I did a couple of cards for this collection, too.) Eric threw a big, UFO-themed bash and wanted some promo art for handbills and T-shirts. He wanted it to look something like a Wally Wood, EC-type piece. …
After years dabbling with sculpture, I finally took the plunge and began to add this discipline to my professional skill set. With some great encouragement from many of my colleagues, I started the process in a program called Mudbox. This model was an attempt to create semi-realistic, super-heroic anatomy.
As a Trek fan, I had a great time working on this game. I even got to design the Elite Force uniforms. Wildstorm published a comic based on our game, which was drawn by eventual Ravenites, Jeff Moy and Cory Carani. This was one of several pin-ups included in that comic. The original was a …

I wanted to show an example of the collaboration process between the concept artist and the model builder. Jeff Peterson took my DaVinci-esque concept drawing and turned it into a spectacular model.
I have reams of these blue pencil drawings scattered around my flat files. Not all are winners… but some still grab my attention. This drawing represented a dark future version of the X-Men villain, Magneto. While it didn’t make it into the game, I still really like the drawing.
Lee “The Bat-Fan” commissioned me to do 3 different Golden Age Batman covers, with the modern incarnations of Batman and Robin replacing the vintage versions. Once I got around to coloring this cover, I decided to play around and see if I could make it look like a well-worn copy of a vintage book.
