I guess the Spider-Man “Butt Kleenex” is making the rounds again. In 2019 I made this handy chart to show that I AM NOT THE BUTT KLEENEX ARTIST! *I* have the distinction of being the Spidey Penis Balloon artist. So, in review, Spidey Penis Balloon = Me. Spidey Butt Kleenex = Not Me. Thanks!
I spend way too much time drawing accurate shoelaces on characters, knowing full well no one looking at the art will appreciate it.

Just bought my second GI Joe figure with my art on the package. It’s officially a collection. It will go on the shelf with my 20 year old box of Spider-Man mac & cheese that I’ve never opened.

Me, looking at a random old Marvel Photoshop file that I created 20 years ago:
"Ugh. Sloppy. I should fix that arm. Right Now."

This popped up in my feed. I don’t know. My wife and I just had our first baby, I was getting 3 hours of sleep each night, and every day felt like I had no idea what I was doing. I do miss those days, though. 😄

Looking at portfolios to find some covers for the next few months. Not going well. So much slop. When I finally manage to avoid it, everything is so dark and shadowy. Color and light and detail appear to be gone from the world. (I may need to start doing this in shorter bursts.)

For The Amazing Spider-Man movie, Marvel gave me jpegs of 3D models to use as a starting point for The Lizard. I then sourced reptile skin textures from various Google searches. Using the jpeg poses as kind of an underpainting, I Photoshopped the hell out of each one until reaching the final image.

Mail Call. I have a small display of Marvel merch in the studio, but this is the first GI Joe to be added to the collection.

Rando Saturday Night Post: My cover art for the Rifts: Ultimate Edition Main Rulebook was done in 2005. Twenty years and still in print. It was also the last thing I did for Palladium Books before signing an exclusive deal with Marvel.

It looks like the old GI Joe website has been taken down and the URL just redirects to Hasbro now. I did a lot of character art for that site. Here's the only images that I worked on that remain on the current Hasbro site.

I was asked to make a list for GI Joe fans interested in which Classified Series figures have my illustration work on the package. Here's the full list so far.

Digital artist confession: I still use Nagel series photoshop brushes from 20 years ago. As they say, If it ain't broke, don't reinvent the wheel.
