The Guardian

How 'bout a little (very little, the image area is only about 3 X 3.5 inches) Guardian for your Wednesday?

Mongul vs Wonder Woman

Just noticed that I never got around to posting this sketch.
I sketched this right before I started work on the short story I did with Peter Tomasi in Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #1.
This piece is my take on the fight between Mongul & Wonder Woman from the Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons classic "For The Man Who Has Everything".

Windy City Comicon: The Falcon

Given how much I dislike birds, it's okay for me to say that since I grew up with a dad that's a falconer, I'm more than a little surprised to say that this may be my favorite piece from the show.

Windy City Comicon: Poison Ivy

I'm down to my last few scans... if anyone commissioned a sketch from me out at Windy City Comicon I'd really appreciate a scan so I can post it up here. Thanks in advance:)

Have a great weekend, everybody!!
