Several comps of book cover ideas for Home Made Haunting to be published late summer/early fall from Zondervan.

And the finals -- Front cover:


And Back.

More pages from Protege pitch.

Here are some more action-packed pages I did to help pitch the assassin filled Protege written by Terence Anthony.

The Human Torch was denied a bank loan.

Protege Page

A newly finished page for a pitch written by Terence Anthony (Orlando's Joint). More to come soon.

Original Art Collection 12: Tony Harris Ultraviolet

One of the newest editions to my collection. I purchased this puppy from Tony Himself at C2E2 this last weekend. A huge two-page spread from the movie Ultraviolet. Now the movie itself couldn't come anywhere near the quality of this drawing but here's a screencap to show you what the final piece looked like.

Another C2E2 Exclusive: The Roberts Original Art Edition

Another exclusive at C2E2 this weekend. A limited edition of 13 Roberts Trade Paperbacks with a panel of the original artwork tipped inside. Signed and Numbered for $20. One of a kind -- get them while they last at table I-2 in Artist's Alley.

C2E2 Erik Rose Exclusive Joker Print

At the C2E2 Convention this weekend I will be offering a limited edition hand-carved, hand-printed 2-color linocut of the Joker. Each of these 10 prints are unique and are first come, first serve. Stop by Artist Alley booth I-2 to pick one up for $20.

Original Art Collection 11: Bill Sienkiewicz

Here's a strange little Sienkiewicz sketch I picked up a few years ago. Don't ask me what's going on -- a high-heeled Shakespearean bunny smoking a cigar? A gassy super-villain? Take your best guess.
I'll be at C2E2 this weekend with my good friend Kyle Bice at table I-2. I'll be doing sketches and selling prints, originals, and copies of The Dude Abides and The Roberts.

Original Art Collection 10: Michael Zulli

The Corinthian from Sandman in graphite, ink, marker, and Pepsi (While inking this piece Michael accidentally dipped his brush in his soda instead of his ink cup but liked the results -- so do I).

Character design

For a possible comic project.

Sketchbook Madness

Random doodles? Some sick preview of things yet to come? Only time will tell...

Now Accepting Commissions

I am now accepting limited commissions -- if you've got a favorite film, TV, or comic book character let me know what you're interested in and I'll get you a quote. Original commissions are generally turned around within two weeks. Here are some examples of previous commissions:

Original Art Collection 9: Christopher Shy

Original art by RPG and comic artist Christopher Shy. Egg-tempera, graphite, color pencil, and digital on watercolor paper.

First Prints

My first experiments with relief printmaking.

Original Art Collection 8 - Anthony Saris

"Going to Chicago in Style" an original from Reader's Digest Aug 1973. A nice piece to have as Saris was from Joliet, Il and probably on more than one occasion took the train into Chicago himself.

My Original Art Collection # 7 Danijel Zezelj

This one is a real beauty. I've been on the hunt for an original Zezelj for a while. This is the only piece I've ever seen for sale. Very sculptural in his use of white gouache. If you haven't seen much of his work check out Luna Park from Vertigo or Small Hands.

Joker Commission

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!
Old school and on his way to Australia.

Jimi Hendrix Painting

Here are some more in progress pictures of the Jimi piece for the Elbo Room. The last two are pretty much how it ended up but I forgot to take a picture of the entire finished piece.

Jimi in progress

Working on a painting of Jimi Hendrix for the Elbo Room. Here are a couple of the studies. The final will be on the lid of a roadcase that was donated by Wilco. Looking to finish it this weekend so there will be more posts soon.

Even more Sienkiewicz Elektra photo reference
