a day in the life...

...of my job.
Kind of a neat article on a few guys who work at DC Comics, one of whom is me.  Some nice photos, I'd say.

it's been a while...

...since I last posted. Been hunkered down in the office, editing those pesky Watchmen books, and traveling a lot.Which brings me to Chicago this weekend for C2E2. Just hopped over to the 'Wiener Circle' on N. Clark for a dog (yes, dragged through the garden, blah, blah, blah), but much more importantly, stopped by the incredible 'Mollys Cupcakes' to say hello to the owner, Mike (of Ron and Fez fame). He's the most awesomely nice guy who happens to make the GREATEST cupcakes (by far!) on the planet. Really, if you're ever in Chicago, you have to stop by and try the 'Ron Bennington Cupcake.' Tell em' Fezzy sent ya!ps...special thanks to Hannah for being so nice.pss...Mollys is at: 2535 N. Clark St, Chicago, IL.

an invitation!










I'd like to officially invite you to come check out a new artblog that I've been asked to join. It's called "WHATnot" and it's full of incredible artists. Why they wanted me to be part is absolutely beyond me. It can be found at:

I won't be posting any of my paintings for it here on my blog, except this one (my first for WHATnot) so be sure to come by for a looksee...

nj convention sketch!























convention sketch of a character I've never drawn before...Black Canary. My approach was somewhere between Alex Toth and Cliff Chiang (yes, I aspire to the greatness of those two guys!).
Not being a mainstream superhero artist, I thought this was going to be a chore, but I actually had a great time with it. Thanks to goodguy Will King for asking me to do it!

Mattel's INSTANT REPLAY (1971)














When I was a kid, I had this cool game called "Instant Replay." Basically, it was a bunch of little 3 inch records that you popped into this little mini record player and it played an announcer announcing a great play of a particular sports hero. You know, a Willie Mays home run or an OJ Simpson touchdown or whatever.

OK, kinda corny, but most everything in the 1970's was.

I loved these little records and especially the paintings of each sports hero on each disc.

Recently, just for the hell of it, I made a counterfeit disk featuring a player that hadn't actually been on one of the discs.

Use your eagle eye and see if you can figure out which is the FAKE one�
