I'm a big Ramona Fradon fan. She drew some of the comics I cut my teeth on in the 60's. I recently stumbled across a Spider-Man sketch by her, a rarity I believe. Sadly, there's no date on it. She continued to draw well up into her 90's! I humbly inked and colored it for fun--

Just added a new design to my TeePublic page. I'm fairly certain I've seen "Halloweenie" used with Dachshund designs, but not so much with hot dogs. I'm sure they're out there, but having him rising from a bun, like a coffin, hit me as funny. tee.pub/lic/AngelRobot

TeePublic shirts are on sale until SUnday, 9/21! You should pick up a couple of items from my store. I need money to buy Halloween candy. If there's any money left over, I'll also get candy for trick-or-treaters. tee.pub/lic/AngelRobot

Yes, that's exactly what I did. I had twice as many as I needed, so I started thinking about what would give it a bit of visual variety.

Here's an actual “80 Page Giant” from the 60's.

This was a fun commission. The person requesting wanted an imaginary “80 Page Giant” of Wonder Woman doing only mundane things. Haha! Honestly, it makes me laugh.

I ran across a Jack Kirby Superman sketch online today. It looked like it would be fun to ink and give it a vintage color treatment. It was!

Even before DC and Marvel mixed their characters with ”Amalgam" comics in the late 90's, I thought Matt Murdock would make a great Batman. As Daredevil, Matt has a Radar Sense, perfect for a bat character. Or, if the two combined (like Amalgam comics) he could be BATDEVIL!

Just finished drawing on a blank cover as a commission. I've never tried using markers and colored pencils before, so I gave it a whirl. It's based on Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21.

I recently visited the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum in Kansas City. This Egyptian piece has the wrong hand on each arm! I don’t know if it’s a mistake or if it has meaning behind it. I'd feel more connected to the ancient artist if he merely made a silly mistake.

Just finished a commission of an indy character. He's yet to exist in printed form, so I won't spoil his name here. Shared with permission.

I typically don’t take strip suggestions from people, but I found this commission request to be pretty funny. Plus, As a kid I LOVED when Spider-Man and The Human Torch teamed up as good-natured rivals. Maybe we'll eventually get some of this in the MCU!

On my latest commission, the patron wanted Daredevil in Josie's Bar. He asked for it to be inspired by the classic Frank Miller comics. I made up a new situation, but I tried my best to walk a line between MIller's style and my own!

Here’s a gag that MAD rejected and I completed for the 13th Dimension site. Just for fun! (Btw, please don’t criticize Mad’s decision. I consider them friends. There’s a lot of thought that goes into every issue. It’s a tough job!)

Btw, I added quick color to the card in Photoshop for this post. The finished color will be done with watercolor and pencils.
