Poor Curt. All he wanted was his arm back. Now he’s got all sorts of trouble.

Earlier this week I penciled a whole bunch of things, the first of which I’ll be coloring and typesetting this weekend. Here’s the work in progress – the raw sumi ink, sans digital coloring. Enjoy!

Beware the Scorpion, one of Spidey’s truly lame opponents. It’s sad, too. I mean, he’s a genetically enhanced super-criminal with an acid spitting bionic tail. Come on Scorpion, you sound so cool! Too bad you never deliver the goods.

Oh well, more ink your viewing pleasure, dear readers:

Kraven the Hunter is one of the few primary Spider-Man villains who isn’t based on some sort of creature (Dr. Octopus, The Scorpion, The Vulture, The Rhino, I could go on), and yet he’s all about creatures. I always had a tough time taking him seriously, perhaps because he looked like a circus strongman in the 1990’s Spider-Man series. Still, this was really fun to do, and the piece has earned a place in my Characters section. Nice to take a piece from sketch to final once again, it’s been a while. Enjoy!

By the by, the font used is called Croteau, and it’s available at the fantastically redesigned MyFonts.com.

Out of college, I worked for about 6 months at an Apple retail store in Towson, MD. The people there are great and I give them a full recommendation for all of your Mac, iPod, iPhone, and other Apple-related needs. When I left Baltimore for points north, I wanted to leave them with a little gift, my way of saying thanks for a great time.

Parker and Fries, that is. Here are a couple sketches from the last little while. First up is Mr. Freeze, followed by your friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man. Enjoy!

When joined in mind and body with the alien symbiote, Eddie Brock becomes a man possessed. The integration of their pysches makes for one being, divided in nature, singular in objective.

“WE ARE VENOM!”

“With great power comes great responsibility.” Peter Parker will never forget the fateful words his uncle told him. Were it not for this mantra, there would be no amazing, spectacular, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!
