Power Girl – White

I’ve been wanting to try to use a negative space idea with this character for a while. She has a enough items that are solid color and areas that have texture to pull it off. I think it went ok, but I want to hear what you think.


Power Girl – Blue

I’ve been wanting to revisit shooting the character Power Girl for a while. I think I got some fun stuff out of it. And I did a bit of experimenting with shots that I still need to edit, but in the meantime I thought I would share this one for now.


Comic Covers – Resurrection Man

It’s been a while since I’ve talked about or posted about comics. I know I’ve posted from great artwork from some artists and drew my own, but the actual comics have gone by the way side.

I wanted to take a moment and give some attention to a couple of my favorite comic books covers. They are from a comic series called Resurrection Man. I picked up a couple issues at the end of the run, and I can’t say I was impressed with it, but I love a couple of the early covers of the comic. I know very few people have heard of it and I wanted to share them before they vanished entirely from the public consciousness.

The covers were drawn/inked by Jackson Guice. I like the element of the soda company in the art, were as it seems they have their own corporate superhero. I’m not sure what happens inside the comics, but I enjoyed the cover art.


Sketch – 05 – Power Girl

I’ve been trying to find a little time here and there to practice my drawing skills and get them back up to par. I’ll share with you when ever I finish a small drawing.

I’ve shot photos of Power Girl a couple times, but this is my first attempt at drawing her. I’m happy with her face and cape, but arms need some work.

Sketch – 02 – Riddler

I’ve been trying to find a little time here and there to practice my drawing skills and get them back up to par. I’ll share with you when ever I finish a small drawing.

Today is a sketch is another one I did during the last comic con while I was sitting at my table to promote the photos. Riddler has always been one of my favorate Batman villians.

Wednesday Comics

Ok, I’m really excited about this. starting July 8th Dc is starting a weekly series called Wednesday Comics. Each week a variety of artists and writers are going to provide one page stand-alone(-ish) comics featuring a bunch of the DC heroes you know and a lot you don’t know. They are approaching this like the Sunday newspaper comics so anyone will be able to jump in at anytime without needing a lot of backstory and who everyone is and what’s going on. I think this is a great idea and gives a lot of exposure to different kinds of writing, artwork and characters.

Here is a list of the artists and characters that will be featured in the first 12 weeks:

  • BATMAN, WEDNESDAY COMICS‘ weekly cover feature, by the Eisner Award-winning 100 BULLETS team of writer Brian Azzarello and artist Eduardo Risso
  • ADAM STRANGE, by writer/artist Paul Pope (BATMAN: YEAR 100)
  • METAMORPHO, written by New York Times best-selling writer Neil Gaiman with art by Eisner Award-winner Michael Allred (Madman)
  • THE DEMON AND CATWOMAN, written by Walter Simonson (Thor, MANHUNTER) with art by famed DC cover artist Brian Stelfreeze
  • DEADMAN, written by Dave Bullock and Vinton Heuck, art by Dave Bullock
  • KAMANDI, written by Dave Gibbons (WATCHMEN, GREEN LANTERN CORPS) with art by Ryan Sook (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, ARKHAM ASYLUM: LIVING HELL)
  • SUPERMAN, written by John Arcudi (The Mask) with art by Lee Bermejo (JOKER)
  • WONDER WOMAN, written and illustrated by Ben Caldwell (Dare Detectives)
  • GREEN LANTERN, written by Kurt Busiek (TRINITY, ASTRO CITY) with art by Joe QuiƱones (TEEN TITANS GO!)
  • TEEN TITANS, written by Eddie Berganza with art by Sean Galloway
  • SUPERGIRL, written by Jimmy Palmiotti (JONAH HEX) with art by Amanda Conner (POWER GIRL)
  • HAWKMAN, written and illustrated by Kyle Baker (PLASTIC MAN, Special Forces)
  • SGT. ROCK, written by Adam Kubert (SUPERMAN: LAST SON), ilustrated by legendary comics artist Joe Kubert
  • THE FLASH, written by Karl Kerschl (TEEN TITANS YEAR ONE, THE FLASH: THE FASTEST MAN ALIVE) and Brenden Fletcher, illustrated by Karl Kerschl
  • METAL MEN, written by Dan DiDio with art by Ian Churchill (SUPERGIRL)
