I was recently commissioned to recreate the famous cover to BATMAN #197, but in the style of the 90s BATMAN-THE ANIMATED SERIES!
It was so much fun reinterpreting the art of master comics artist Carmine Infantino, trying to evoke his perfect composition and sense of drama!
The goal was to also retain the original "pop art" colors, as seen on the original 1967 comic book cover!

I've always loved this simple (but dynamic) image of the Hulk, as drawn in the late-60s by comics artist Herb Trimpe.
This is my attempt at a realistic take on said iconic pose, using marker, ink, crayon, colored pencil, and pastel!

Below: I took tons of pics (with me as the subject) for reference before starting this painting...
Then I stretched, twisted, and manipulated my pics in Photoshop, to get some
Hulk-like proportions, then used those images to help craft the finished illustration!
What fun recreating this iconic 1969 INCREDIBLE HULK cover (originally drawn by artist Herb Trimpe)!

What is it about the powerful comic art of Jack Kirby? You simply can't look away from his work, absolutely bursting with dynamic movement, power, and drama!
Here is my take on one of Jack's famous 60s Captain America images, one used on posters, stickers, tee shirts...
Rendered using ink, colored pencil, crayon, watercolor, and marker!
Another fun sketch cover!
Ink, crayon, acrylic, colored pencil, and marker!
Always wanted to attempt a painting of comic artist Jack Kirby's fantastic mid-60s Thing (from the FANTASTIC FOUR comics) illustration!
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!

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!
Another fun sketch cover, spotlighting one of the main villains (Catwoman, as portrayed by Julie Newmar) from the famed 1966 BATMAN TV show!
Had a ton of fun with this sketch cover, based upon the famous 60s Aurora model kit, but with an added 1950s ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN (the TV series starring George Reeves) twist!
Rendered in ink, crayon, and colored pencil!

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!
