A.I. art hurts real artists.
It is the death of meaningful art.
Snacking in the kitchen with my pal Penny, and listening to the world series on a #caturday night.

Lovely! I reckon I’ve read that Wein-Wrightson stuff more times than any other run over my lifetime – one of my first and favorite comics.
This H.O.Mystery cover was a bit of spooky art that I saw house ads all the time as a kid. Bought this copy a few years ago; it’s got great art inside.

Was going to reply in kind; i own few IronMan books but they’re Tuska/JohnnyCraig era– hellacool– but I can’t find them! In boxes under the stairs i bet.
So how about an E-man?(kinda rhymes w/IronMan)
Revisiting the first run lately; fun stuff w/ Ditko or Byrne’s Rog2000 as backups in most issues.

Aw, man! Ace’s ‘78 solo is (usually) my fave Kiss album. Torpedo Girl is my secret favorite Kiss song because that riff is exquisite but the rest of it is silly af and makes me laugh.
He was also a cool Marvel Comics character!
Drew this a few years ago.
Love his heavy-metal/Chuck Berry stylings.

I painted the box I store my old Superman-related comics in.
I adapted a few of my favorite covers in acrylic and ink to decorate the decades-old, battered and stained container.
It’ll probably be shoved into the closet or the crawlspace under the stairs but it was a bit of free-time, creative fun!

Dang! Trimpe/Severin is best. I only have about 10 issues of the Hulk – I liked him but he never was a priority to me as a kid – but I did grow up with these two.
Nice variety of artists and most of the Ditko issues are in the one on the right.
And they both live on the shelf above my desk.

I still take pen to blank business cards and doodle heads or whatever just for fun. Here are six I made last week. Scanned and colored on the iPad tonight. The unedited scans are included just to share the process. Referenced from pics or youtube thumbnails, but I wasn’t uptight about likenesses.

Sketched three monster heads the other day and decided they should all hang out together. Had a bit of insomnia and put the sleeplesness to work by adding torsos and arms to the crew. Just goofing around on the iPad.

Drew a couple of heads while waiting on laundry this morning. Been doing minor chores on a mostly lazy Sunday, not really fired up for the eternal losing battle against ants in the kitchen so I’m letting them have their countertop parade until I make dinner. No news today. Just wanna draw and chill.

Tonight’s cartoony head doodles. Bottom one is a rerun but it fit nicely down there.
September 26, 2025 at 5:41 AM
Continuing my (near) daily head doodles. Have a few more, but this is the only one I’ve colored so far.

Here are today’s head doodles, drawn this morning, colored moments ago.
The mindless cartooning of heads seems to be my way of soothing the agitations inflicted upon the soul by the horrors of the day.
Making more heads right now because it’s not soothing the agitated soul well enough.

Tonight’s head doodles.

Tonight’s head doodles. Vampires!
September 17, 2025 at 5:25 AM
Head doodles inspired by faces seen here & there on YouTubes. Just for fun!

Almost done decorating another of my old comic boxes. Adapted the cover of Action 438 for this side, one of my first Superman books.
Made the drawing about a year ago, then lost interest. Back on it now, with 4 sides & top nearly finished.
Kind of sloppy but it’s going to live in my closet anyway.

A few sketches I found in one of my early 90s sketchbooks.
September 5, 2025 at 5:08 PM
Doodling some heads on the iPad after work tonight. No reference, no reason; just free-styling for fun.

I cleaned my work-and-play corner desk last weekend for the first time in many months – it was extremely cluttered, disorganized and a 20 y-old houseplant that sat up top dropped all its leaves, which prompted my cleanup.
I’ve relocated the plant in hopes it will recover as it has before. 🤞

I painted my comics storage boxes just for fun and made a rough sketch of these 3 to use for the lid of my JohnByrne FF collection. I opted to adapt an AlphaFlight cover for that since those comics share the same box. Rediscovered the sketch, inked and colored it this morning. Just goofing around.

A few awkward looking characters i doodled on the iPad a couple of weeks ago. Inspired by people seen at the flea market on a hot day.

Couldn’t find Rosie! The patio door was open and hadn’t seen her for hours. Not in the closet, not in my sock drawer. She wasn’t in the garage and rattling her dish did not bring her running.
Took a stroll around the complex. No luck!
Wait! On the patio, in the corner, over there, behind the vines.

I found this while rummaging around the blog, looking for images to (maybe) revive my old website. I drew it for abanimation using MOHO that I didn’t get around to. I’m a week or two behind the #superman hype, but here he is anyway. #comics

Weeknd plans were upended but now i can relax through the incoming afternoon. Have a few novels i can finish reading but I’m going to skim and sketch through a few EC Comics. Or maybe just read. Main goal is to be at ease and unproductive.
