"My Heroes" series on Exhibit!

 I don't remember if I've mentioned it here yet, but I was told a couple of months ago that I will be having an exhibit Mount Pleasant, Michigan and in June of 2024 of my heroes series. These are two pieces that I'm working on the charcoal is basically done, the painting of Sergio Aragones  is not done yet. This series is made up of sub sections of some of my heroes, including Sergio Aragones, Jack nicholson, Sammy hagar, popeye, and Mel Brooks.

EXCLUSIVE!!!

 I've been working on this drawing all Summer (2 months, really, of 2022), and I finally finished. This photo is blurry, but you get the gist. It's graphite on paper (#2 mechanical pencil), roughly 24"x18". This is part of my Popeye series, which is part of my "My Heroes" series. It's ever-growing. 

There is  slideshow of the progress of the drawing on my TikTok and Instagram 

 

Marvel Hero Heads

 I started a project that is inspired by the floating heads used on Marvel Comics covers through to the 2000s, specifically by John Byrne.

This series is kind of a history of Marvel heroes starting with the Silver Age, in (somewhat) chronological order. I have one page to do to finish the heroes. Then onto the VILLAINS (Oy, there are a lot!!)!!

I will have prints available for sale once the series is done. 

"My Heroes" series

This post has a majority of the pieces that make up my "Heroes" series. It's broken up into mini series': Jack Nicholson, Popeye, Sammy Hagar and Sergio Aragones`. Some appear unfinished, but they're done now.

Paint It, Nuttall!! The series (playlist)

I've made a playlist on YouTube JUST for the docu-webseries created by Pauline Johnson, "Paint It, Nuttall". Feel free to view it, share it, like it, and share it again!

Did I Err?

Sometimes, I start on a project and I have to walk away for a moment, and when I get back to it, I'm filled with happiness and fulfillment. My Hero series has become one of those projects. My Sammy Hagar Jumping series gives me such energy and now this first painting of Sergio Aragones` makes me just happy. I want to keep working on it, like right now as I sit at home. BUT, I have to wait until tomorrow... Until then, here's a little video I made and an updated photo of the Sergio painting.
