  3. Thanks Ben. I really dig your blog and artwork...it's very inspirational.
    Your covers here have been some of my favorites. I've got negative Batman hanging up in my cubicle here at Disney. People are always asking, "Who did that?".

    Norrin2...(There's a Norrin1?)...I did not include the guy because the more distant composition I chose would have ruined Gilbert's joke. Now, that was the whole point of his cover. So I decided my "erotic" joke take on the cover would be all about the pinky fingers.

    My favorite part was coming drawing that logo. Gilbert Hernandez has got to be my favorite comic creator. I just love his storytelling and sense of humor and humanity.

  5. Wow-- This is beautiful. Your color and technique are beyond almost anything on here, but your style is funny and attractive enough to carry the piece anyway.

  8. It's a shame that M.D. deleted his post, because it was funny.

    In case anyone wonders or cares why I removed Samantha's post, it was because it was spam.

    I love that Gilbert re-used his composition for a kid's comic.
