Shortly after 1PM today I attempted to enter the DIA and was told that it is closed, and that it had to be evacuated. No reason was given.

In celebration of my aunt’s 60th birthday, friends and family put together a little book for her. This was my contribution.

I especially like the expressionistic frames and the wonderful large face drawn […]

Here’s my Xmas card (took me long enough)

It’s based on an old Captain Midnight comic book from 1947. I redrew it, adding all the Christmas references. The original art is about 11″ x 16.5″.

Yep, another robot head. Gotta love it!

Update: Obviously there are some serious gaps in my comic book knowledge. This is based on the character “Machine Man” by Jack Kirby.
