The most recent quartet for Tamino. Coming along, just more slowly than I'd like.

This one makes me laugh. It's not some president, a spiritual leader or a military genius. It's the commander (or major?) character from "Destroy All Monsters." I hope I captured both the seriousness and the goofy quality here. Perhaps if one didn't know who this was, the effect wouldn't work. Ah, well. Acrylic on panel.

Still working on Tamino, more slowly than I'd like. Every so often, during the coloring process, I turn off the level that has lines in it to see how the composition works without them. It helps me balance the colors. Of course, for whatever reason, the colors are sharper in AI than as a jpg. Still, things are coming about. I hope to be done with the comic soon as I want it to be done and to move onto other things.

Portrait of my dear friend Max for his birthday. It's really cool doing portraits of friends as you get to stare at their faces for hours and rediscover things about them. I find that the closer the friend, the less I look at them in person as I think I know what they look like.
