New Spider-Man "Ditko" Sketch Cover!

 Here is a new sketch cover that references Steve Ditko's 60s art on THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN comic book!

Steve was the artist on the book for its first 4 years, and co-created Spidey with writer Stan Lee!

I rendered this tribute cover using ink, colored pencil, crayon, and marker!

New Wonder Woman Painting!

 Here is a great "just for fun" illustration!

I was going for a kinda "70s air-brushed" retro posterized look, in both the approach and composition, and came darned close!

This was rendered in ink, crayon, and colored pencil!

New 1940 BATMAN #1 Sketch Cover! DC Comics!

 The folks at DC Comics have published an exciting facsimile reprint of BATMAN #1, from 1940, but this time fronted with a (mostly) blank sketch cover!

I couldn't resist the chance to create a sketch that evokes the "Golden Age" period and the feel of the BATMAN movie serials of the day...

1948/1966 Riddler Sketch Cover! Batman!

Using a recent facsimile reprint of this famous comic book, I combined the cover to DETECTIVE COMICS #140 (which fronted the first 1948 comics appearance of the Riddler character), with a new sketch of the villain as he later appeared on the 1966 BATMAN TV show!

Yep, that's actor Frank Gorshin as the superfoe, in a wild reimagining of this famed Golden-Age comics cover!

All rendered in ink, marker, colored pencils, and crayon!

Batman Aurora Model Kit Sketch Cover!

 What fan didn't love (and build) the famous 60s-70s Batman plastic model kit by Aurora?

This often re-released kit has to be one of the most memorable images in comics history, and I wanted to create a sketch cover based on this terrific toy, trying to keep the motion, mood, and dynamics captured in the original 3D statue!

I used ink, crayon, colored pencils, and markers to create this one!
