I don’t remember when I drew this. My pal Jason and I had challenged each other, some time ago, to recreate a comic cover that we had never seen. I picked one for him and described it to him via email, and he picked this one. During my move, I found this abandoned art. I …
Today would be legendary comic artist Curt Swan’s 100th birthday. Over on Twitter, comic writer John Arcudi is hosting a Swantennial. Various artists are recreating Curt Swan covers in celebration and tribute to the man who defined what Superman looks like to generations of comic fans. Not one to not jump on a bandwagon, here’s …

Today, after a very long time, I have been Rejected by Covered. Covered was a comic cover recreation art blog that I visited almost every week and had contributed to, I think 4 times. During it’s run, the site’s curator would turn down some submissions. So my friend JB Sapienza and his friend Josh Blair …
My Dad’s birthday is today, born on August 6, 1941, making him 70 years old. While my Dad and I share similar (negative) personality traits, we don’t have much in common, and our relationship isn’t the best.
