Knee deep in pages on 3 projects, but had to break away yesterday morning to spend 30mins on this mess about. Nothing crazy, just a Penguin from Jonathan Glapion. A warm penguin, and a cold penguin because i'm indecisive.

Just saw IDW have posted this Rocketeer cover I did some time back with Sean Gordon Murphy on lines. The story was in tribute to Amelia Earhart, hence her being in the image, need to get a copy to read it myself. Fun times on this though, always loved The Rocketeer design.

Ah, an oldie I forgot to post last year, from the Zorro Kickstarter as reward for the top tier backers (they had their mugs placed in the photo frames after I had finished!). Lines from Sean Gordon Murphy, with colours from me, obvious Days of Future Past homage... obviously!

I had the pleasure of my first Marvel cover a while back (through DC, so still not officially worked for them on paper). So yeah, got these lines off Sean Gordon Murphy, and went to town. Batman/Deadpool #1 variant cover, due out Novermber 19th!
Yes, that's not Batman, I am aware it's Lobo lol!

Cover colours for the upcoming Battle Beast #6, from Image/Skybound (Invincible spin off series from Kirkman and Ottley). Lines from Sean Gordon Murphy, colours from me.
That was a lot of 'from's'.
This was a lot of fun, loved how this came out.

Coloured this a while back as a personal piece, lines from the ever impeccable Gerardo Zaffino, with an appreciative nod to Mike Spicer for letting me have his flats file as I was being lazy.

Had another of those Absolute Batman covers a while ago, Issue #9 cover B I think (due out in June)! Colours over @gerardozaffino.bsky.social lines, big old chunk of pink for a nice change as well :D

Moody little Conquest (Invincible) Cover I got from Ryan Ottley a short while back (I got a few off him, but he posted this one earlier so it's safe). He'll be carrying them at his con shows this year! Go get some...

Few recent panels from 'Murder Melodies' #1, added some pages to bolster the issue a bit more, great to work on the art from David Ferraci, written by Kiyarn Taghan. This is a sick looking book, serial killers! Will shout about it once it's done, been in the works for a bit, but its time.

Belated Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to everyone. This was a cover from just before Xmas, for the launch of DC's Hush 2 (Batman #158). A wraparound cover from Sean Gordon Murphy, with colours from moi. Have a Bat-tastic 2025!

Another cool one from recent months. Variant cover for Absolute Superman #5 from DC Comics (not sure of release date). Lines from Sean Gordon Murphy again, and colours from me.
Little nod to Action Comics #1 for the colours and the content.

Cover colours for Absolute Wonder Woman from DC Comics. Lines from Sean Gordon Murphy. It's apparently for issue #6, but it seems to have leaked across the internet... so keep your eyes peeled for when it's in store 😉

Inbetween pages and covers, i've been chipping away at this World War Hulk from Gerardo Zaffino for the last week... yes, I ran out of faces. 10mins a day, not too much in it really, good fun. Now back to this cover and maybe some apple pie for dinner!

Not sure I ever posted these (I must have, but I can't find them on any socials). Black Panther, and Okoye, both from Guile Sharp on line duties. I coloured them for Dané Raphael Shobe's magazine 'Sun Hero', in conjuction with Black History Month at the time (2023 I think).
