Wolfhead

I've been looking at a lot of wildlife photography of late (why?), as well as ye olde engravings of Elizabethan costume: hence, this picture. Drawn with Black Magic ink using a teeny sable brush, and colored in Photoshop.

Maila Nurmi

Just a quickie drawing of (the late) Maila Nurmi, better known in her guise as 1950s horror-movie hostess Vampira. This picture is a little screwy, but in my defense, the reference photo I used was slightly off-kilter as well...an unusual pose and angle. I used a brush and colored it in Photoshop, as usual.

Steranko Ripoff

I've only recently become interested in Jim Steranko's art, though I've known about him forever...I remember thinking it was too stereotypically "60s" when I was a kid. Times have changed, and I've grown up and sideways and developed an appreciation for such things. This is shamelessly swiped from an old Captain America page (1968, I think), and is much more colorful than I normally get. Done with ink, brush and Photoshop.

George Raft

Another brush pen thing, done during lunch...the shadows are a little extreme, I think, but that's the kinda treatment George Raft deserves.

Peer Pressure

Just a sneak peek at a comic I've put together for some friends at Z-Gun magazine, based on a real-life detective story involving rabid record collectors, washed-up New England punk bands from the late 1970s, lots of misdirected phone calls and a mysterious private detective known only as El Azteca. The new issue ought to be out and available in the next...couple of weeks? Month? I'll let you know whenever it happens.

The Man Who Laughs

More brush pen and Photoshop used here, to the exclusion of all else! I've drawn this a couple times and am still not happy with it...maybe I'll revisit it when I get a free moment at the drawing board.

Moody Guy

I was looking at a photo of William Holden in Sunset Boulevard when I drew this guy, but he turned out a little more Jerry Lewis-ish. Better luck next time? Done with a brush pen, which I sort of hate, but it's the only thing handy on my lunch hour.
