COMIC BOOK COLOR FOR A WALLY WOOD CLASSIC!

Here's my take on colorizing a classic Wallace Wood story  "The Curse", originally published in black and white, appearing in Warren Publications VAMPIRELLA #9, in 1971. I believe it appeared in color in the 1986 WORLD OF WOOD #1 by Eclipse Comics, with coloring chores performed by veteran Steve Oliff. I decided to exercise my coloring skills by creating my own color version. I specifically did not refer to Oliff's version, consciously avoiding it, but chose my own color palette independantly. The incredible Wally Wood has ever been one of my artistic influences, and now I can jokingly say that I worked with him. Here is the first page. 

ART FOR CD - MOZART MESSIAH

Digital art created for the awesome new band

MOZART MESSIAH!

This is the preliminary work for the front and back of their upcoming CD.

The back cover will eventually contain type copy for song listings, band members, and any essential copy.

More on this as details progress.
(The music on the CD is an excellent eclectic blend ranging from heavy guitar rock to classical to folk to symphonic, with great vocals and harmonies...no rap...if you love great guitar you'll enjoy it. On sale soon.)

This image is based on my own blogger graphic for my alternate i.d.
The Apocolyte.

I'm actually undecided as to which image should be considered the front cover and which should be the back.

MY CREEPY CAT

Hello, it's me...

Just stopped in long enough to post this. It's a cover for my presentation of one of my proposed comic strip projects, originally rejected in 1995.  After some revisions and updating, I am again prepared to unleash upon the world the one and only, the original CREEPY CAT, coming soon as a comic strip and an animated cartoon. Creepy Cat is in fact an alien creature that only resembles an earth cat, and as he encounters the absurdities of what we call 'life on earth', hilarity ensues. No, seriously, it is really funny, and drawn well too.
