Proudly presents

I’ve been working as an illustrator for 32 years and before starting Astonishing Comics I’ve produced art for publishers such as Marvel, DC Comics, Acclaim, Cross Gen, and many more. 

LIMITED-EDTION Trading Card!

Seize the opportunity to own this stunning, limited-edition trading card! It showcases my inaugural illustration of Red Sonja/Claw for their mini-series, a masterpiece that has remained unpublished... until this very moment!

Now, I bring you this captivating book that shines a spotlight on some of my most incredible penciled pages over the past two decades. This 60-page gem is not only a visual feast but also an oversized collectible, measuring 8.5 x 11.75 inches. Join me on a thrilling journey through my illustrious career and immerse yourself in the world of comic book art like never before, in its purest form, the pencils!

No inks, no colors, no lettering on the pages just the pure finished pencils that I created to send to the inker. This book is for comic book art lovers and young artists who want to learn the craft of penciling.

A Digital Version of the book is also available!

The book can also be obtained in a digital PDF format, allowing you to upload pages to your preferred program for digital inking. This option is sure to excite you as it provides an excellent opportunity to practice and enhance your inking skills.

Examples of the exceptional pencil art in the book!

This book will be saddle stitched so it can be laid flat to put vellum over to practice traditional inking or scan the pages to create your own blue lines to ink or import into your favorite program and practice digital inking.
