The Phantom Killer

Happy Halloween!

No, this is not jason vorhees from friday the 13th part 2, but the Phantom Killer from the film 'The Town That Dreaded Sundown.' (the friday the 13th filmmakers totally ripped off this guy's look). It's been many years since i saw the movie, but i remember renting it quite a bit as a teenager. I was fascinated by the pseudo-documentary feel to it and the overall creepy atmosphere. The Phantom Killer was a real life serial killer in the Texarkana area in the '40s. Wiki here.

Dynamo 5

here are the inked pages to my contribution to Dynamo 5 #25, on sale now from Image Comics! I did these pages in between finishing We the People and beginning Morning Glories, and they were just a blast to do. The script was fun and I got good feedback from Jay Faerber and Mahmud Asrar on the pages, and the final product was colored by Paul Little, one of my favorite collaborators.

I also included my thumbnail sketches for the pages. The final splash page came out a lot different to the original thumb.

Expect more from Jay & I in 2010!

Poison Ivy

this is a Poison Ivy piece I'd started earlier this summer that I finally inked up. It's pretty big--like 24x15, and Richard at Zeus Comics was kind enough to offer me a space in his store in which to display/sell it. Inked this with my pentel brush & my faber-castells, but i also used these new prismacolor ink pens i found the other day. they work like microns, but the ink flows out much easier!

if you're interested in buying this, you can go to Zeus, or just drop me a line!

Uncanny X-men

recent commission i finished. the guy wanted Storm, Wolverine & Colossus, and didn't care which costumes/era they were in. So I chose their appearances from the mid-80s, when i started reading the series. I loved Storm's mohawk!

Freddy Krueger

this sketch was for the weekly bendis board sketch thread. the theme being nightmare on elm street!

Morrigan & Moppets

finished this drawing of Morrigan from the Darkstalkers fighting game series this morning. i had a major case of artist's block yesterday and a friend suggested i do some more drawings of fighting game characters. Morrigan always...stood out.. among a lot of characters in that genre.. haha. i'll try and get this colored up soon!

and a bonus piece--the murderous moppets from venture bros. that i sketched while watching some episodes the other day!

Joker & Harley Quinn

did this one just for the fun of it. comics' most insane couple. haha


back to character designs!
