Batman V Scarecrow Canvas Print

This and my Girl of Steel 1972 paintings are admittedly highly derivative of the work of other artists. The original linework is based almost entirely upon the work of Carmine Infantino and Neal Adams, comic book legends. This is just a glitch in my artistic direction. It is a long held tradition of artists to start off copying master works to learn how they did it and I just needed something fresh and fun to do.

I consider myself primarily an illustrator. I never quite fit in with others, so I grew up isolated and found much of my comfort in movies, comic books, music, and books. My artistic influences include fantasy illustrators from the "Brandywine" school of Howard Pyle to the best comic book artists of today. I get my inspiration from such widely diverse sources as the absurd, music, classic movies, myth, pin-up, fantasy literature, and my Catholic sensibilities.
