More Watercolor...Kinda.


I took an old watercolor illustration that I did in 2000 and gave it the photoshop treatment. I am learning some tricks of the program, but having fun.

Vince Evans!


I am not the only one with a children's book out right now! My friend Vince Evans illustrated a series of books called 'Humpty Dumpty Jr.' Excellent art and you can find it at Barnes and Noble kinda next to mine.

A return to watercolor?


I love working in watercolor, but I stopped doing it a few years ago. No special reason, I just didn't have enough time to focus on it. I think I was moving past the really sucky stage, to the halfway OK stage. This is a piece I did a while ago.

Hey kids! Let's Jazzercise!

This photo has to be ten years old. The jazzercise people hired the Mad Science Media people to provide content for their new Cyberstretch CD-ROM! It must have been 10 years if it was a CD-ROM. Find out more about Cyberstretch HERE.

We all look so young. That was me in my Do-rag period.

Gone, Goodbye

I started collecting comics at 10 years old. I still have the first book I bought, in horrible shape of course, but I will never get rid of it. After 32 years of collecting, reading and enjoying comic books, I have sold my collection.I took my longboxes down to the local shop, seven at a time. a total of 32 boxes. I went through them to make sure I did not let go of the sentimental ones, but I had to let all the others go.
Today, the comic shop I sold my collection to is having a big parking lot sale and I am sure that they will find good homes.

3 years on Broadway

Jersey Boys has been on Broadway for three years! I did not realize it until I got an invitation to a party in NYC. I can't make it, but it feels good to know that I was a part of it. Read my review of opening night HERE!

Of course I did!

What do you mean, "did I vote?" I have the sticker to prove it!

THIS Halloween


So my costume this year was Don the Genie! My GF and I went to the West Hollywood Parade and met up with some friends. This was the first time for her while I am an old pro. My catch phrase for the night was, "May all your wishes come true!"
And that my friends, is a wish I wish for all of you!

Halloween Past


I look forward to dressing up in costume tonight! I try to celebrate the day every year and I have the photos to prove it! Take a look at a few outfits over the years! The first shot is of my Toga costume from last year. I went to a nutty Toga party in Bel Air with everyone in Ancient Roman dress!
The second photo is my standard Samurai outfit. I keep it around and I have worn it for years! The last photo was taken at the old Marvel bullpen. I wore a Joker costume at the Halloween party there. I think it was 1992. It was a white tuxedo that I spray painted purple and a wig I painted green. I had a lot of fun in that outfit!
I plan on meet my GF later tonight and we will go to the parade later. Photos to come soon!

Generation X Pilot

In an earlier post, I wrote about what I found on an old VHS tape. It was the TV pilot for 'Generation X' based on the Marvel Comic of the same name. It had most of the characters, but I did not remember the book well enough to know if it was entirely faithful to the comic. I tried to watch it but it was lame. In fact, the best part about the show was the end. They showed one the actors in uniform in the last couple of minutes!

The Phantom


I am working on an interesting job for Moonstone Books. They asked me to draw illustrations to accompany a Phantom Novel. It's like the old adventure magazines like Argosy or Galaxy. Those were great periodicals that printed art with great writing.
This is the first drawing of ten. I've always wanted to draw the Phantom and the story was written by Tom DeFalco!

Halloween Past


Halloween at the Marvel bullpen used to be a lot of fun. There were games and prizes and everybody seemed to enjoy the late afternoon party. I think this photo was taken in 1989 and I was competing in a screaming contest! The guy with the long hair is Steve. I think I'll try to post more Halloween themed photos as we get closer to Oct. 31.

And yes, I won the screaming contest!

Blue Movie?

I noticed this movie marquee while driving home tonight. I hope it's not about what I think it's about.

The Oval Office


This is my drawing of the Oval Office. Done in brush.
