Happy spooky season, earthlings! And what better way to celebrate than with a ghostly tale from the secret files of the Men in Black. I wrote this spec comic script years ago, inspired by A, the total lack of modern Men in Black comic content, and B, a story Paula Pell told on the Astonishing … Continue reading MEN IN BLACK: Devil In The Diner (Fan Comic)

BIRDS OF PREY, A HISTORY: Conception and ‘Pilot’
FROM THE AUTHOR The following essay written by a grown-ass man with the mind of a 12-year-old. I was already a budding superhero nerd on October 9th, 2002, when Birds of Prey premiered on the WB network. Cut to: 17 years later, where Marvel Studios dominates at the box office, the CW network (a direct … Continue reading BIRDS OF PREY, A HISTORY: Conception and ‘Pilot’
BoP Goes POP! Vinyl
There are a ton of things that fans never get to see when a show is canceled after 13 episodes. With a few notable exceptions (sidebar: Firefly fans are so spoiled!), 13 episode shows never get good media coverage, behind the scenes featurettes, timely DVD releases, or that all-encompassing word for everything that fans … Continue reading BoP Goes POP!

Lois Lane Painting
"Girl Reporter" Acrylic on canvas Superman works best as a love story. At least, that's what a steady lifetime diet of Lois & Clark has led me to believe. She's an essential part of what keeps Clark human and what keeps Superman in the sky. Naturally, I wanted to paint her, but I was struggling with … Continue reading Lois Lane Painting
Martian Manhunter Painting
"Manhunter From Mars" Acrylic on canvas Another one from my Ramos phase, this time based on the cover of House of Mystery #143, original art by Dick Dillin.
“Alien” – Superman Painting
“Alien” Acrylic on board Painted this for a show at Carter Sexton's caricature art show in April, 2018. I’m not someone who’s naturally good at caricature, but I thought it would be interesting to take this icon I love and highlight something about him I feel people ignore... He’s. An. Alien. An illegal alien! A … Continue reading “Alien” – Superman Painting
Broken Wings Birds of Prey Podcast Archive
For a very brief time I thought I would make a monthly podcast about a forgot Batman spinoff series that no one remembers. Believe it or not, the project was short-lived, but led to some great experiences and experience. I was 12-years-old when Birds of Prey premiered on The WB in 2002. Though a … Continue reading Broken Wings Birds of Prey Podcast Archive
Dr. Fate Painting
"By The Helm of Nabu" I was on a roll with these Ramos-y paintings for a few months! Fate here is based on the famous cover of More Fun Comics #61, by Bernard Baily. I was really nervous about how this one would turn out, but I think it's one of the better early pieces … Continue reading Dr. Fate Painting
Black Canary
"Still Another Crime By The Black Canary" Another piece I did in the Mel Ramos style. Honestly, I was surprised he never painted her since she's right up his Crime Alley. Acrylic on canvas based on the character's second appearance in Flash Comics issue 87, 1947. The story was called "The Package of Peril" referring … Continue reading Black Canary
