Power Rangers celebrates 20 years of being broadcasted in America! Seeing the cosplayers at comic con who pay tribute to this show are always so amazingly done, and as always I was inspired to make this due to the love they continue to get!

Below is the preparation I had in creating this piece. I wanted to get as much movement here as possible and continue to work scale and perspective into my work.  I hope you enjoy.

TMNT Pizza with everything on it!


I've wanted to do a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle piece for a long while.  I did a sketch of each character after the animated TMNT movie was released but that wasn't enough for me.  I have finally done my own full Illo and i am happy. I was able to include most of the characters that I felt made the most difference in the show as a kid and who have stuck with me all the way into adulthood.  Which turtle was your favorite? Is there a supporting cast member you would have liked to see here?  Do you still care about these guys?  I hope Michael Bay doesn't muck them up! heh Thanks for watching=]

The Shred Head


Above is a marker and Photoshop test to add to the TMNT piece I am working on now.  I did the marker portion to practice my marker skills for my Upper Deck assignment that I am currently working on. I've done marker drawings with simple blank backgrounds (i.e. Nova) and color backgrounds (i.e. Batman vs. Captain America) and I wanted to see if I could make a photoshop background that would help make the image pop as well. Integrating original art and computer art can make for some powerful art. I hope to show those cards for Upper Deck to you before the end of the month!

I've always enjoyed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ever since I was a kid, and thoroughly enjoyed the TMNT animated movie. I enjoyed it so much so that I did the drawing below inspired by the show! When exhibiting it at comic con's, it always got a smile out of people, children and adult alike. For that reason I've begun doing a full illustration based on these fun guys.


Since I'll be at the Baltimore Comic Con September 7th-8th, I want to have something new for that and will have that TMNT piece, in black and white at the very least, for visual consumption=]

One Powerful Family

I was asked to contribute some art to a woman's choir who was doing a fundraiser with a silent auction and I contributed my Lion-O piece. An auctioneer saw the work and was so put aback from it that she asked me to create another nostalgic piece for her in She-Ra.


I have previously done a drawing of Evil Lynn and had it in my portfolio at comic cons.  It has sparked question of whether I've done any other Masters of the Universe characters.  Since I had now done the 
She-Ra piece, I figured it would be great to have her cousin standing beside her in solidarity! I present to you He-Man! 


While creating the She-Ra piece, I realized I could do a double page spread of the two characters so they they could be showcased individually and then together as a dynamic duo.

And here are some inks for you to see the work that gets put into the pieces=]
