Homage to one of my all time favorite artists in the world of comics (or anywhere else)… Dave Cooper. This is my rendition of the cover to issue three of his book ‘Pressed Tongue’ published by Fantagraphics back in the ’90’s. Below is the original by Cooper.

Birth announcement I made last week when my wife gave birth to our beautiful baby girl! The design is a homage to a birth announcement drawn by cartoonists Kim Deitch and Trina Robbins to announce their daughter Casey.

Another tribute to the great Bill Everett. This one was fun to draw because of the cartoonish thugs with their campy dialogue. I have also always been partial to DD’s original costume.
By the way, this one was done just for fun but should you be interested in having me recreate any comic book page in my style I would be happy to do so for a reasonable price.

Ghostlight Coffee has a Sparkle Comics art gallery on display through the end of May featuring myself and the rest of the Sparkle bullpen! It is fantastic to see so many different styles under the Sparkle banner. If you’re in the Dayton area stop by Ghostlight on Wayne Avenue to see some great comic art and have some amazing beverages too!

Darcy Van Poelgeest and Ian Bertram’s Little Bird #1 released this week from Image Comics. It is a fantastical beautiful nightmare with mystery and oddities abound. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy.
The above is my depiction of a couple (or three) characters from the debut issue drawn while listening to Angels of Light.
