HAPPY BIRTHDAY KING!

Tom Spurgeon over at THE COMICS REPORTER published a beautiful

set of images to point out that today would be Jack Kirby's 91st birthday.

Go HERE to see it.

You may not be able to tell from my artwork,

but I am an insanely huge Kirby fan.

The world will never see another one like him.

Happy Birthday Jack!

This might be my favorite Kirby page ever.

It's from DEVIL DINOSAUR #4.

So much awesome on one page.

My brain feel like she about to buss!!!

Here's the last known picture of Jack Kirby with Paul McCartney.

You still have to wonder what kind of music they would

be making today if The Beatles had kept Kirby in the band.

I'll leave it to better men to speculate.

All you need is Kirby!!!

WHAT IS IT ABOUT BATMAN?

Batman is such an iconic character. I just can't stop drawing him.

I'd say thirty percent of the time that I start sketching with nothing

in mind, I'll end up drawing the caped crusader.

Here's another one that just popped out.

Thanks for looking.

KARAOKE SQUID

Many times at comic book shows I get asked to draw in someones

themed sketch book. Usually the theme is a specific character.

Sometimes they're more interesting than others. This is a sketch

I did for a guy whose entire book was Karaoke Squid.

I don't know where that came from, but it was a pretty cool sketchbook.

I realize that this is not a squid, but it's the best I could do at the time.

Thanks for looking!

p.s. Thanks to Jake Ekiss for shedding more light on Karaoke Octopus.

TOP SECRET...

Here's a piece of art I did for a top secret project that

Phil Hester and I are going to make at some point.

I could tell you more about it,

but then i'd have to kill you.....with kindness!

THINKIN' 'BOUT COMPOSIN'!

Awhile ago I was doing a lot of thinking about composition,

and how I needed to be better at it. Here's a batch of random

panels that I drew while either looking at, or thinking about,

how better cartoonists than myself approach composition.

Thanks for looking.
