I haven't shared much here lately, but here's the cover art from my next "Popeye" comic book. This is a pretty rare visual,the published cover may be different. Thanks to the great and kindhearted Ken Wheaton for his amazing digital color work!

More "Popeye" comic book art...

I've been blessed with another chance to create Popeye artwork, this time inking Bruce Ozella's pencils in the back-up story. Hope you get a chance to see it!

The 'Popeye' comic book is out on the stands...

Hope you get to see a copy!

Something kinda new...

"I Yam What I Yam!"...and I yam Happy!!

Very happy to announce that IDW is publishing my Popeye comic book story art in their September issue. Editors Clizia & Craig Yoe, Ted Adams and King Features were a pleasure to work with. Seventeen story pages, one hundred and twelve panels and only one revision request. Here are the two covers that were created by Seymour Chwast and Bruce Ozella.

From the mean streets of Brooklyn...

Another "Star-Revue" comic strip...

This one was "down and dirty" done on the fly due to a pressing deadline.

New Strip for The Red Hook Star-Revue...

And yes, I still hate my new Scanner!

"The O'Possum"

After leaving L.A. and returning to NYC I safely thought I'd seen my last Possum. The ugly beasts had always scared me when they'd show up every night in my Cali backyard. So imagine my surprise when they showed up on the streets of Brooklyn... in my front garden!! I tried to give a tip of the hat to Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" this time out. Don't know if I've succeeded, but trying sure is fun.

L.A.'s "Water Grill" art...

Worked with my good friend Dave Fuscellaro, AD @ L.A.'s Thirty Sixty Advertising on Branding and Logo art for The Water Grill a short while ago. The artwork is finally rolling out in the restaurant and I couldn't be happier with the results. Here's a visual of the freshly-painted window signage. The artwork we created is featured on everything from menus to coasters and in-store signage. They've even used the art on inlaid wooden tables and counters. Thanks Dave and Thirty Sixty!!

"Nobody's Father"

Thought I'd try something different for the new Red Hook Star Revue strip, a collaboration with my friend Matt. I've always liked Matt's poems, this piece in particular.

Another Star Theater Jammer...

Every so often a new player will show up and sit in with the regulars. Jonathan joined a really good set and played extremely well. The arrows around his head are symbolic of how he kept up every time the direction of the music changed.

P.S.- I really hate my new Canon Scanner. It sucks in comparison to my older model.

Happy New Year!
