Stand-Up Gal: Batgirl Novelty Item Digital Painting 2008

Stand-Up Gal: Batgirl Novelty Item Digital Painting 2008

“Stand-Up Gals” are my own pinup versions of superhero paper dolls. Use your imagination! I’ll sell one on eBay every so often. The Green Hornette was technically the first, many years ago. This version of Batgirl came along in early ’08. I’ve got others in the works… but time is always my own, personal arch-villain! …

Detective #38 Cover Recreation Brush, Ink and Photoshop Colors 2007

Detective #38 Cover Recreation Brush, Ink and Photoshop Colors 2007

This was another cover commissioned by “The Bat-Fan.” I never really cared for this original Golden Age cover… but I had a great time “aping” it! In fact, I have yet another version of this cover in the sketch stage. Who knows? Maybe it’ll show up in this gallery before long.

Thing, Sue & Namor Marker Sketch 2008

Thing, Sue & Namor Marker Sketch 2008

Poor Namor is smitten, but our Susie is already spoken for. Big Benjy is either acting as chaperone, or he’s just there, enjoying the Sub-Mariner’s discomfort. Who could resist a bikini that looks like it escaped from the wardrobe of Ursula Andress?

Green Hornet #1 – Volume II NOW Comics Acrylic on board 1991

Green Hornet #1 – Volume II NOW Comics Acrylic on board 1991

It was a nice honor to do the inaugural cover for the second series of NOW Comics’ Green Hornet. It was also a chance to finally highlight Mishi on a cover, even though she was no longer a featured player. To depict Britt Reid II as a middle-aged man, I used a reference photo of …

Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. The Gamer’s Handbook of the Marvel Universe 1992 Update Acrylic on canvas 1992

I’ve been a Nick Fury fan ever since Jim Steranko turned a ho-hum comic book ripoff of James Bond into a sexy, super-cool, high-tech spy series. Me and my friends used to wonder how Steranko could make a 50 year-old man with graying temples and an eye patch so cool and look so good in …

Golden Age Green Hornet Print Avalon Fine Art Prints Acrylic and airbrush on board 1990

Golden Age Green Hornet Print Avalon Fine Art Prints Acrylic and airbrush on board 1990

During the initial run of the NOW Comics GH comic, Dave Dorman and I were commissioned by Avalon to create Green Hornet prints. Dave did a fantastic piece based on the characters from the ’60s TV show, while I took on the Golden Age Hornet and Kato. This was also used as the cover art …

Green Hornet: Dark Tomorrow #3 NOW Comics Acrylic and airbrush on board 1993

Green Hornet: Dark Tomorrow #3 NOW Comics Acrylic and airbrush on board 1993

The Dark Tomorrow covers were fun to do, but I’ve always had a difficult time thinking of them as Green Hornet pieces. This particular cover was the finale of NOW Comics’ futuristic take on the GH mythos, featuring the Green Hornet with a “sting-whip,” flying cars and robotic gangsters. definitely NOT your father’s Green Hornet! …

Spider-Man As the World Burns Acrylic on board 1987

Spider-Man As the World Burns Acrylic on board 1987

This was my second of three chances to paint our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man on a cover. Actually, the first book in this series featured a Spider-Man cover that I drew and the late, great Keith Parkinson painted. This particular cover was all mine and was the last in this series of paperbacks.

The Incredible Hulk The Gamer’s Handbook of the Marvel Universe 1989 Update Acrylic on board 1989

At the time I first painted this cover, the Hulk was going through a “gray phase” in the comics. I really wanted to paint the green Hulk, but Marvel said no. My lack of enthusiasm for the gray Hulk showed in the finished piece. So, darned if I didn’t digitally repaint it for myself almost …

The Green Hornette! Personal Collection Acrylic and cell vinyl on  board and acetate 1988

The Green Hornette! Personal Collection Acrylic and cell vinyl on board and acetate 1988

Okay, this one requires some explanation. Back in the day at the TSR Art Department, we used to draw names during the holidays. As a “Secret Santa” gift, each artist would create a piece of “cheesecake” art for the artist whose name we picked. Because of my well-known fondness for the Green Hornet, I created …
