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.

I felt a bit guilty about my last post. I like Captain America well enough, I don’t wish him dead. Seemed rather extreme, so I thought I’d give him the edge in this one:

Hey all! Just a quick post to prove I’m still alive and kicking. While my 9-5 has been incredibly busy as of late, I’ve been doing what I can to keep sketching and producing at night.

As I’ve never a big Captain America fanatic, I don’t quite know why he and Red Skull keep battling in my mind. Still, had to do something about it. Sorry, Cap – Red Skull won this time. Apologies for the violence of this one, it’s not my usual! I really wanted to break out my red ink, and well, look what happened…

This week I was once again featured on Robert Goodin’s Covered Blog. This go round, I reworked Green Lantern #122 from 1979, original cover by Dick Giordano. You can see the post on Covered, or right here. First up is my cover, followed by Giordano’s original from 30 years ago. Hope you enjoy!

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.

Here’s the finished version of the sketch I posted a couple days ago. Feels good to take something to final!

In other news, I recently completed a new piece for the Covered that will be featured there on August 20th. Make sure to add that fantastic blog to your roll, people. Robert Goodin does a great job over there.

Here’s a sketch from a few days ago that I’m going to take into Illustrator. Expect a final sooner than later. SHAZAM!
