My 3rd graders make masks towards the end of the year. This is the demo mask that I made for them and I am happy to say that many of them found it inspiring.

Here it is; my magnum opus of construction paper. With the exception of the “comics code authority” stamp and the four heads in the Marvel Comics header, everything here is cut paper. I only gave in on those two things because I simply don’t have the tools or ability to…

Sometimes – okay, all the time – I save cast off bits and pieces of things for future use: linocuts, fragments of interesting drawings, etc. Occasionally I gather them all together and make a collage. Sometimes they really work well together. And sometimes I have to live with them for…

After taking my kids to the comic shop and being bitterly disappointed by the lack of desirable comics for us to buy, I decided to break out my stash and do a project with said kids. We looked through a ton of old Legends of the Dark Knight (which, I…

Here are a couple of time lapse videos I made with a very cool free app for my iPhone – iMotion HD. One I did for a very simple illustration project and the other is a page in one of my drawing books. I wanted to show how I go…
