I tried a sort of faux-painted look (it’s all digital) for the background on this. I think it turned out pretty nicely, especially for a for a first attempt.

I’ve been reading a bit of “Dragon Ball” lately and was inspired to try my hand at an Akira Toriyama style “cute car” drawing. I’m not sure I’m entirely happy with how the colors turned out, but I like the drawing well enough to share it anyhow.

S’funny, back in the day when I used to read lots of superhero comics, I was more of a “Marvel guy” than a ‘DC guy” and mostly read Marvel comics, but I rarely draw any Marvel characters. Whenever I do doodle any superheroes, they usually wind up being DC characters. Don’t know why that is… Maybe DC characters are just more iconic? (Or maybe they just have costumes that are easier to remember?)

In any event, Black Widow here is a Marvel character. I tried to play up the 1960′s “mod,” Emma Peel, aspects of her outfit. Don’t know if I succeeded at that but I think the drawing’s half-decent at least.

It’ll be held on Thursday June 3rd, from 7-9pm at the MoCCA Museum in Manhattan.

Books will be signed, drinks will be served, and fun will be had. All are welcome, so if you’re around and have nothing to do on June 3rd, swing on by.

I’m pretty happy with the walking pose (something I feel I occasionally have problems with drawing) I got on this, it’s subtle but there’s still plenty of movement (at least to my eye).

Some quick sketches from life. I’ve started doing this weekly with a friend (Conor Hughes), so I might be posting this sort of stuff semi-regularly from now on. Or maybe not. We’ll see how it goes…

You can read it here.

It’s sort of weird and surreal (but cool) to be featured on a website that I’ve been visiting for years.

My first book City of Spies is officially out today!

If you haven’t already pre-ordered a copy, you can grab a copy online from, among many other places, Barnes and Noble, Powell’s Books, Borders, Amazon, or direct from Macmillan. Or if online shopping isn’t your bag, you should also be able to find it at your favorite brick and mortar book/comics store.

Also, a reminder, if you’re in the New York area you can come celebrate the release with me this Saturday at Bergen Street Comics. (See the previous post for more details).
