Walking Math Robots

This was another piece of art done for educational publishing back in the 80's...for the Math Quest series of textbooks I believe. The publisher colored the art so I don't have that to post...

Elf Warriors

Another piece of salvage from my art-past; this was some sort of spoof, done for advertising as far as I can recall...supposed to be some sort of sendup of over-the-top
fantasy art...

Dragon Boy #4

Dragon Boy #3

Another brush-n-ink illo from the the early 80's...Pentel Brush Pen, loaded up with real live india ink, brushed onto thick tracing vellum, then overcovered with fiddly bits of real live no-tech Zipatone! Stone age methodology, but fun!

Book Cover Rough

This was a mockup of a book cover done for one of Byron Preiss' book series, cobbled together using a photocopier, gouache, markers, colored pencils, plus a few random bits of glue and baling wire...ah, the days before computer...

Dragon Boy #2

Another element from the Dragon Boy set of illustration done for educational publishing...a few of the images showed the story, but many of them were part of a workbook for kids, hence were decorative elements integrated with text and other page components, such as this one.

Robot Band

One can never have too many robot bands...a scan from a photocopy of a pencil drawing, since the original has long since scampered away...

Poster Rough #2

Here's another one of those marker-doodle-oddity-roughs from the poster previously mentioned, for the Silver Snail Comic Shop...

Superman Cover Rough

Here's a marker sketch for one of the Superman covers I posted...

Chinese Dragon Boy

Here's another piece of illustration art from the 1980's, done for an educational publisher. The story (which I don't recall more details of) had to do with a Chinese boy and the Chinese dragon dance being performed...

Poster Rough

More unearthed oldy-oddities: in preparing to do the Silver Snail poster in the early 80's, which I posted a little while ago, I first did a whole bunch of roughs, just odd ideas that didn't really go anywhere but were fun to draw. Some of them revolved around this pinheaded befuddled superhero...

Life Drawing

Something a little non-rocketfictional for a change...unearthed from the gloom of the flat files, this was a life drawing of a friend, from 1990.

Man of Steel #84 Cover Art

The last one!

Adventure Comics #563 Cover Art

The third in this series of four Superkman covers...they were all designed to tie in together, in accordance with the "story arc" in that set of issues...

Action Comics # 749 Black and White Art

Continuing on from the previous post, here's raw art from the second of the four Superman covers I did!

Superman 140 Cover Art

Raw cover art, before computer work, from one of a series of 4 Superman covers I did...back in 1998 I think it was...

Robot City Rough

A xerox & colored pencil rough comp for the logo design for the "Robot City" series of paperback books, done for Byron Preiss Visual Publications back in the 80's.
