Whew! It’s been a few days! This time my unavoidable absence from these pages was due to a computer issue that made it impossible for me to access my own site. Fortunately, my chief engineer and good friend, Gregg Delcurla, who is also the architect of this whole site, was able to correct the problem
Here is a piece I’ve been working on for a while. I’ve posted this on my Facebook page a while ago while it was still in progress. I finally finished the inks on it, I’ve cleaned it up and sent it off to my usual colorist, the brilliant Anwar Hanano. I can’t wait to see

Another sketch request from our 2015 DIE KITTY DIE Kickstarter campaign, this one is of Samantha Smythe, the pretty blonde girlfriend of Bingo Wilkin. Bingo is the title star of the Archie Comics series THAT WILKIN BOY. Samantha’s attire, the T-shirt and the word on the T-shirt were all as per the commissioner’s requests. I
Here I’m test driving the new DIE KITTY DIE blank sketch covers. I’m very happy with the quality of the paper which can often times be very iffy on these sketch covers. Thanks go out to Fadi and Keith of Chapterhouse Comics for getting these for us. If anyone is interested in a Die Kitty Die
Some time ago, I’d posted the pencils to this illustration featuring the old MLJ comic book private eye, SAM HILL, and his secretary, MOXY.
