Jerry Ordway

This is a pinup image for Rob Jones' Perfect Storm book (see my earlier post for interior art by Rob and me) drawn by the legendary Jerry Ordway! I first fell in love with Ordway's work when he switched off inking duties ( over Rich Buckler) and became penciler on All Star Squadron. Ordway's one of those rare guys who has been great for 30 years and still seems to find small areas to improve- another inspiration!

Immunos

These are two pages from a commercial job that I've been working on with the singularly talented Hilary Barta. I did pencils on these pages (trying to get some feel of Hil in the characters) and then Hilary saved it all in the inks.
The colors are all me : )

John Buscema

Another one of my favorite comics legends. Big John was better better than when he inked himself!

This first one was printed in a recent Neal Adams sketchbook and references his old mystery stories, Spectre issues and Weird Western El Diablo shorts-

Alex Sera and Lopopo

Here's the opening page of a delightful story Alex wrote and drew. I knew he was a great artist and storyteller, but his dialog and comic timing are delightful as well-

Inhumans
