3187a Celebrate the Century 1950's
FIRST DAY COVER ARTIST AND CACHET MAKER
I started drawing First Day Covers some years ago, starting with the Bugs Bunny Stamp issue. I love drawing and coloring them. They are limited to 100 each, or less and had been extremely popular. These are fun to do. I have only a couple left. I will try to put up images of all I have done.
4084a Celebrating DC Heroes
CARTOON / COMIC INKER
I started When I first corresponded with Will Eisner many years ago and then stopped as I was working in Film and Television. I loved Inking and started messing on the first Inkwell Group and then took over after founder Chuck Gibson had to leave. After a discussion about what inkers actually do after the "Tracer" comment in a movie. Bob Almond and I started the "Inkwell Awards". It was Bob's idea and so we staterted out with Help from Tim Townsend, Mike Marts, Danny Best, Adam Hughs and so many people.
I have done a few books and have helped inkers on many titles that I do not credit, since they were given the job and properly credited. I did ink Spider-Man Sundays and pages on a couple of Archies and Friends Issues over the Kennedy Brothers. I have done many pin-ups and Inked many fabulous Artists. I also did United States Post Office First day covers. The cachets I created are for first issue of the stamps.
I just wrapped up Publishing "Jetta Raye Adventures" and am working on a follow-up comic.
Couple of Sketches
I sketch watching tv and so here are a few. Sgt. Bilko with Col. Hall, so I had to add Private Doberman. They were the inspiration of the cartoon series "TOP CAT".
Also I met this girl at a show on "The Walking Dead" so I sketched her with her pets.
