Received my latest cover from the very talented Tony Kent. I asked to draw a battle between the queens of Mars. Dejah Thoris vs Tyr'ahnee. Who do you think would win? I often wonder if Tony looks at my ideas as challenges, but he always comes out swinging! Thank you once again for the kick ass cover.l, my friend. @tonykent_heroes_art @dynamitecomics #dejahthoris #tyrahnee #tyrahneetuesday #queentyrahnee #mailcall #covercommission #originalartwork #originalcoverart #passionforcomic #comicgeek (at Crofton, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaTW1VJMUjU/?utm_medium=tumblr

Back in the beginning of February my father passed away. At the same time we were just getting over COVID. What was probably the worst week in my life, I had one of the most awesome things to happen ever. I got to have dinner with Ben Percy. Mr. Percy was coming to Annapolis, MD for a signing event of his new comic The X Lives/Deaths of Wolverine during the first weekend in February at my local comic store Third Eye Comics. Utilizing their rewards program I was able to have dinner with one of my favorite writers in the comic industry the night before the signing. Ben Percy has written for two of my favorite heroes; Nightwing and Wolverine. But I gotta tell you he was cool and down to earth at yhe same time. We talked about writing, about comics, and just had a great time. We were having such a great time no one thought to grab any pictures. My only regret of the night. Just before he had to go I asked him to sign a bunch of books for me. Mostly some variant covers of his new book andsome Year Zero. But one thing I did have was Teen Titans 12, the first appearance of the Bat Who Laughs. At Awesome Con this year I sent it off to CBCS for signature verification and grading. The book returned just as I was heading down for my Mom & Dad's Celebration of Life. That moment is now safe, and holds a very important place in my life and my collection. Ben, thank you for being Fantastic! And thank to the great people at Third Eye Comics for setting it all up. @benjamin.percy @thirdeyecomics @cbcscomics @dccomics #firstappearance #batwholaughs #teentitans #passionforcomic #comicgeek (at THIRD EYE COMICS) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgLW0R-MbbF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just got an awesome mail call a day early! Torpedo Comics hosted a show for the insanely talented Sajad Shah on Whatnot last week and I won this incredible sketch cover of one of favorite superheros, Nightwing. As soon as I won it, I immediately reached out to the amazing folks over at Clan McDonald Comics to see if they still had spots for the Ula Mos coloring opportunity. Steve told me to send it in. So I only have this beauty for the weekend, but Sajad's lines & inks with Ula's colors is going to be freaking fantastic! Can't wait to see my boy in Blue. Might even get this slabbed. Cause CMC does CBCS. Art or Graded? If you don't know of Clan McDonald or Torpedo, you're missing out. These are two great organizations for comic collectors.

My ill gotten goods from Baltimore Comic Con! I was able to get some excellent commissions this and a few bad ass prints. First up from Gus Mauk I was able to get on his pre-con list so when I got there Saturday I had this fabulous Slave Leia to add to my collection. But I had to pick up the battle worn Logan! It immediately reminded me of that scene from the movie. After that I was able to get on a few commission lists to be shipped to me later, but woke up to one of them being completed overnight. CB Zane hit me up to show me his Slave Leia was complete. That's a wake up ladies & gentlemen! Now I'm hoping to hear from Steve Lydic about Shipwreck on G.I. Joe cove and David Hindelang about a Spider-man 2099 vs Batman Beyond cover. Also hoping to hear from Daxiong about a Slave Leia/Dragon commission. On the print side of the house I grabbed Conan & War Angels from the incredible Jason Metcalf, and ordered a killer Dragon of Sin print from Sammy Castillo. Have to give an honorable mention to Jordan P Jackson. I wanted to grab his Samurai Kida print, but lost track of time and money. May have to order it from him if possible. But the absolute best part was meeting a long time friend in person. Mister American Ninja himself, Charlie McElvy. Charlie and I have supported each other's creative work online for years. It was awesome to mert him at the show. This man is living one of my dreams. Published Comic Author. Couldn't be happier for you brother! @charliemcelvy @tscastillostudios @metcalfjason @jpjacksonart @daxiongart @dkhindelang @slyart75 @zanecb @gus_mauk_artist @baltimorecomiccon @starwars #originalartwork #covercommission #coverartwork #passionforcomic #comicgeek #slaveleia #logan #wolverine #xmen #conanthebarbarian (at Baltimore Comic-Con) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVbUc52PBrJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Got a fantastic gift from the guy who made the Cannonball Run in reverse @iron_cowboy_comics just in time for #wolverinewednesday Clayton Crain's Canadian 🇨🇦 Flag variant of Wolverine #8! Which is also Wolverine's 350th book. I love this cover. I know everyone loves the Spider-man flag books, but this is the one for me. I missed the opportunity to grab one of these when it came out, but my boy Travis hooking up his mad skills finding me one. Not only finding one, but finding one with my favorite number on it, 92. Just like my Banana. @iron_cowboy_comics @claytoncrain @marvelcomicss @marvel @blackflagcomics #passionforcomic #virgincover #comicgeek #wolverine (at Crofton, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNY01qTB01e/?igshid=1hxi4uck2yd8l

I just got a glimpse on my latest commission from Dave Ryan. Last year in preparation for Awesome Con I asked him to draw Christopher Eccleston's Doctor Who so I could get it signed. Alas, the convention was canceled like so many others. Well I just learned that this year George Takei will be attending Awesome Con, so I asked Dave to do something a little different. I asked him two merge two genres; Star Trek & Superheroes. Taking full advantage of a cover fron the Star Trek/Green Lantern crossover from DC & IDW Comics, Hikaru Sulu became the protector of Sector 2814. George Takei is such a fantastic individual, I don't think he'd have a problem becoming a Green Lantern. Can't wait to have him sign it. @georgehtakei @davidwryan3 @dccomics @idwpublishing @startrek @awesomecons #hikarusulu #greenlantern #crossovers #comiccovercommissions #passionforcomic #daveryan #comicgeek #comics (at Awesome Con) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM8vUzkB_A1/?igshid=130rohstdufpr

#mailcallmonday Got this incredible Weapon X piece in today from the extremely talented Hugo Pelcastre. I loved it the moment I saw it and immediately contacted him. After negotiating he even threw in a free sketch of my choice, so I asked for one of my other favorites, the Scarlet Spider. And it looks incredible too! Hugo, keep up the great work my friend! @hugo.pel @marvelcomicss @marvel #weaponx #wolverine #scarletspider #passionforcomic #comicgeek #coverartwork #commissioncover (at Crofton, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMdt4bgh6aI/?igshid=nzxsx9tao1gi
