I saw Neal Adams’ cover for Superman #205 in September and have never identified more with the Man of Steel. Here is the original Adams cover. I'm not a great figure sketch artist, so some features and shading in mine are straight-up stolen (shrunk the hands on the villain, for accuracy), but the faces are … Continue reading Vote Like Superman is Watching

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’
The attachments I form to stories I’m a fan of could be generously described as… abnormal. When I see a new show or movie, my strongest reactions are primarily to the story and to the aesthetics. This in and of itself is probably true for most people, and in a perfect world these two attractions … Continue reading The RE-Discovery of Magic: An Essay with a Prop Tutorial Chaser
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!

"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
"Manhunter From Mars" Acrylic on canvas Click for prints and stuff. Another one from my Ramos phase, this time based on the cover of House of Mystery #143, original art by Dick Dillin.
“Alien” Acrylic on board Click for prints and stuff. 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. … Continue reading “Alien” – Superman Painting
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
"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
