New commission: I added color to a re-creation of SHOWCASE #50 that I did 6 years ago! It's based on art by Carmine Infantino & Murphy Anderson. I used liquid watercolors, and a few pastels & colored pencils. I originally used pen, brush and ink on 13 X 20" bristol board.

Reminder: if you'd like to commission Muppet-ized movie art of your very own, PM me or write [email protected] for details! Right now, I'm looking at completion dates in December for new requests.

Our backyard has been invaded by a groundhog squatter. We have named him Murray.

New commission: I added colors to my re-creation of Gil Kane & Murphy Anderson's cover art to SHOWCASE #34. I used watercolors for the flat colors, then added gouache, acrylics, colored pencils, pastels, etc. to help smooth things out (the original was smooth bristol, 13 X 20").
