The X-Men!

When I was young, I use to love the posters that Arthur Adams created, showcasing all of the Xmen and the teams associated with them. The MUTANTS poster was my favorite, but a close second was the cover of Classic X-men #1 which has the timeless image of Wolverine in the front of the team. 

As I grew older, I continued to love the X-Men, and Arthur's work, along with the art of George Perez, Phil Jimenez, and Ivan Reis. They are some of the strongest artists in the history of comics and have mastered adding more and more characters to a composition than any other artist in comics. They are my idols and my role models and it is because of their work that I challenged myself with trying to reach their heights!

This is the 11x17 illustration I have created to showcase my love for my idols as well as my favorite comic book team. The poster has been available at 16 by 20, but now I only have it available as 2 separate posters, measuring out at 17x22. 

 I look forward to doing more in the future and hope to get faster at it as well, as 3 years was entirely way too long to get this done.

Magneto Vs Phoenix

I have begun the process of doing more artwork by hand as apposed to relying on the computer for my coloring and this is another example of that.  is is a piece I did on two sketch cards, each sized at 2.5 x 3.5 for a total of 3.5 x 5.

As I look at this I wonder what it may look like as a digitally edited 11x17 print.  I may end up touching this up ;-) Stay tuned!

Smells like Victory

I am always asked at conventions, "Have you drawn any Deadpool?" so I felt i needed to get that done for the show goers.  Any time I speak about Deadpool with fans, i always hear about how he loves tacos, so in my research about why (he just LOVES Taco's it's insane!) I found a painting with Deadpool replacing the baby in "Smells like teen Spirit" and a taco is on the end of the fishing line. If that image was as famous as it is ridiculous, I figured seeing Deadpool, the Merc with a Mouth, standing inside a Taco surrounded by pancakes would have him ecstatic.  Seeing Paco Medina draw Deadpool cooking so many pancakes had me dieing, so I had to include that in this image. Hope you dig this, I had a lot of fun drawing this, and now am on the mend for all those pancakes I drew ;-)

Batman and Wolverine Team-up

I often get requests for both of these characters so rather than give them their own illustration each, i figured this would be a perfect way to kill two birds with one stone.... besides, I'd really love to see them in a story together, so I am sure you would too=] How do you think their philosophies would work together?  Would they be best friends, would they hate each other, would one look down on the other for going too far, or not far enough?  It'd definitely make for great action and high tension!

Ororo Munroe

The last illustration helped me complete this commission of Storm of the X-men..... thought to be an African Goddess, Professor Xavier recruited the weather witch to help not only those of Africa, but everyone in the world.  She's been one of the greatest characters to ever lead the X-men and always will be a compelling character!
