Here are a few shots from an animated opening titles sequence I created for a film (which will hopefully be finished). This is my own totally unlicensed rough-cut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh97_03lSls
This was the second comic I did for Monsterverse, although it's still awaiting publication through Legendary. I'm not sure if this version of the cover will be used (it was going to be put out by IDW at one point), and I believe there will be a new host at that time.
This was commission for an independent film studio, here is my own rough-cut of the work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MwBwbcsLws
This was a fun commission for the cover of a self-published comic.
I've done several GPK series for Topps, and one Wacky Packages. The GPK fans have been so enthusiastic and warm to me, I love this world very much. The cards are all officially approved, the rest are private commissions.
This is (someday) going to be a graphic novel consisting of three strange stories, very loosely connected, set in the rural midwest.
This is a comic based on the parable by Franz Kafka. It was originally published online by Read Challenger.
I was approached to illustrate this story for a DarkHorse anthology. It was a lovely hardbound book-- but it sold out rather quickly, so it may be hard to find a copy unless DH releases another edition.
This is a silly children's book that I wrote and illustrated while working as a staff illustrator at AuthorHouse Publishing. You can grab a copy at amazon.
Here are a few pages, without text, from a fun illustration commission for a self-published comic.
This is a graphic novel that I illustrated many years ago, which was originally slated to be published by DarkHorse. Due to interpersonal drama and a cascade of misfortune, that did not happen. At one point, IDW became very interested, and their lawyers sought out the rights to the book. The lawyer for the author’s estate refused to license the story, because the percentage IDW could afford was too low (I’m still not sure how “no percentage” of “no book” is preferable to “a percentage” of “a book”— but I’m not a lawyer). So— this thing is doomed. But, I’ve decided to post it here, all 88 pages, as a massive piece of fan art— I do not have permission to do this from anyone. But, it was a dream for a handful of people for many years, and at the very least it taught me a lot about comics. Written by Martin Powell, lettered by David Hopkins, produced by the late Michael Hudson. Enjoy.
This was a very fun commission for a ninja comic that was intended to be self-published. The research was a blast, and it rekindled my childhood interest in this kind of stuff.
Linocuts from my adaptation of Struwwelpeter by Hans Hoffmann. The cool thing is, the book was discovered by the Struwwelpeter Museum in Frankfurt Germany, and they really loved it. They interviewed me, and several of these prints are a part of their permanent collection. It's available for purchase at amazon.com.
Novel cover and character illustrations for commission.
This was a short horror comic I wrote and illustrated with the hopes that it would be published by DarkHorse for their Creepy Comics revamp. It was later colored, and the host was replaced, for its publication in Monsterverse's Bela Lugosi's Tales From the Grave. To see that version, you'll have to find the comic! (Psst, I still have some copies if you want one.)
This is going to be an anthology of bizarre tales by several different artists/writers. It will hopefully be in print in the fall of 2017.
I need to make more of these-- but they are all available for order on items at society6.com.
I’ve illustrated literally 600+ children’s books for AuthorHouse. I’m not terribly proud of the vast majority of them, but a few decent enough. Illustrators had effectively less than a week to complete a book, so try not to judge the artist harshly on these publications.
