Part of the reason for the sketch-a-day blog is to help me focus on making more art – and if possible, figuring out a way to start making money off of that (as always, commissions are always available). Part of that is because I know that if I’m not working on something, I’m constantly watching …

304. Captain Cold
Because it’s been a while, and I know everyone is dying to know about my viewing habits, I’ll go ahead and lay some nerdy shit down here. I have been binge-watching Chuck. I apparently missed a huge portion of this show as it aired on tv. I really only remembered most of season two and …
270. Blue Beetle
The Ted Kord Blue Beetle is one of my all-time favorite comic book characters. I like him for a variety of different reasons. He’s basically light-hearted Batman. He’s got all the skills, the gadgets and the money without all the brooding, mopey tragic bullshit (FYI, A well-adjusted Batman is my favorite Batman. Give me Brave …
269. Harley Quinn
Harley Quinn, to me, has always been an incredibly sweet, if not absolutely psychopathic character.

Yet, every time she shows up without Bruce Timm & Paul Dini’s influence, …
265. Deadman

So going off that, I tried to base Deadman’s look on some Cirque Du Soliel-type outfits and makeup. Also, I wanted …
264. The Atom
Unlike some other silver age characters that were eventually replaced with modern counterparts (Barry Allen, Hal Jordan), I have nothing against the Ray Palmer Atom. In fact, I’d almost say that I’m a fan. Unfortunately, this all stems from the only Ray Palmer Atom series I’ve really read, The Sword of The Atom, which saw …
263. Jesse Quick
I pencilled this while drunk, inked it sober and colored it angry. A gamut of emotion. Jesse Quick has had a crapton of costumes, none really fantastic. It’s hard to be a speedster character, particularly in the Flash family and have a unique look. Unfortunately, I don’t know that I did any real great shakes …
