After yesterday's illustration of Dr. Fate, I decided to go a little lighter and do a quick version of the Big Red Cheese... Captain Marvel!
I loved that comic book when I was a little kid. I remember one particular story where Cap races Mr. Atom for some bizarre reason.

SFG: Superhero - Dr. Fate

This is my contribution to sugarfrostedgoodness.com's topic of the week, Superhero.
I was always more of a DC comics fan than Marvel when I was collecting comics in the late 80's and early 90's. And one of my favorite characters was Dr. Fate. I always thought that helmet was the coolest thing!
I'm Back!!!
Please for give the horrible lapse in
my blogging these last few months. As soon as October hit, I got so
wrapped up in other things that I just let it go and by the time
Christmas hit I realized I hadn't bothered to post anything!
But happily, some of the distraction came from a series of projects that came my way!
One project came from Scholastic publishers in England for a 4-page story leaflet for young readers. It was titled The Giant's Smelly Feet, by Alison Milford.
This project was really fun as it marks the beginning of my foray into children's illustration.
It isn't the only children's project I was approached about since October. I'm currently beginning work on a project with Macmillan Publishers on a language workbook for kids. I won't be able to post any pieces from that project until it sees publication later in the year but I will keep you posted when it comes out.
I also was approached by a cool design studio in Seattle, Washington called Rocket Dog. They initially spoke to me about doing a few projects that fell through due to scheduling conflicts and such, but we eventually got together for a studio promotional they want to send to past clients.
Rocket Dog's look is retro space imagery and they wanted to do a series of cocktail drink coasters, each with a different pinup-style girl in a space theme. Here are a few of my faves...
On the opposite side will be a cocktail recipe appropo to the different glasses in each drawing.
Susan and Tim at Rocket Dog are the coolest and they really gave me a lot of latitude with this project!
Anyway, I hope you forgive me for not posting in so long. I hope to do better as the new year begins.
Take care and Happy New Year!
