| Justice
League of America #7 Cover Jam |
| | One
of the more interesting assignments: a huge jam piece featuring all the various
incarnations of the JLA. Most of this art got cropped and reduced in the final
cover, so here's the full image, presented for the first time anywhere! To the
left is the artist from the first JLA revival in '87: Kevin Maguire. The book
accidentally credited me with inking Luke McDonnell's work, but actually I was
reunited with old pal Howard Porter (center), who proves he could resume art chores
on the book tomorrow and not miss a beat! | | | Pencillers:

Week 26 Page 4 Patch | |
| When
I originally received this page to ink for DC's weekly series 52, Richard Dragon
was clean shaven. A few days later, either Editor Steve Wacker or one of the four
writers decided that Richard should grow a beard, so Pat sent me the appropriate
images that needed adjusted, which the colorist and/or production person popped
in place. When inking Pat, I deliberately tried to emulate John Dell's razor-sharp
style. The fur collars were also inspired by Dell, having tiny random lines that
collecting into a black area.

Usually Marvel licenses
out their characters to companies that specialize in coloring books, but this
was actually published by Marvel last millenium. The linework I did was quite
simple, but bold, because I had to remind myself that it was to be a coloring
book. The cover was taken from another page, but I chose to post this page, because
you don't see Krakens sobbing everyday (he had just lost an arm-wrestling contest,
where Herc had beaten him handily-*ouch*)

| Triple-A
Baseball Heroes |
| | It
was an honor to be a part of this book, thanks to Editor Nicole Boose from Marvel.
This page is from a special all-new story created exclusively as a givaway to
all the Triple-A Baseball League teams throughout the USA. The imagery of the
Fantastic Four at a family event like baseball is great to see (there's always
time to clobber Doc Doom later)!

Christmas Card | | Another
specialty piece of art, used for Crossgen's official Christmas cards sent out
to retailers and freelancers, made during the first year of Sojourn. Greg and
I were pressed into service to make specialty art for a variety of reasons, the
oddest being a giant color poster/portrait of a local female reporter (who shall
remain nameless) to shmooze some local press. Hey, I just worked there... | | | Penciller:
