Alternate universe Wonder Woman double page spread from GOTHAM CITY GARAGE. Pen and ink, with digital color, also by me. Really loved doing this, much influenced by George Perez, one of my favorite artists and favorite people. #wonderwoman #DCcomics #penandink #georgeperez

Illustrator and cartoonist Gustave Dore was not only a peerless draughtsman, but he was a sculptor of monumental public works, like this of a Musketeer on the memorial to Alexandre Dumas in Paris. Yowsa.

Oh wow, just found this in my files, fan art of Doctor Strange I did back when I was a teenager! You can see where I struggle with how to balance the use of brush and pen work here, but it's not bad for a kid. @Marvel #DoctorStrange #fanart #brushandink

I don't do that much work for Marvel these days, but here's a 1980's era pinup I did for Marvel Fanfare. Balder the Brave from THOR. Decades later, I drew the "Death of Balder" sequence in Neil Gaiman's "Norse Mythology" GN for @DarkHorseComics amzn.to/3Fcp0yE

Someone accused me of "stealing" a photographer's work, but this is the only horse drawing I closely referenced, it is based on Jacques Louis-David's "Napoleon Crossing the Alps", it's public domain, I've cited it repeatedly, and the internet makes me tired.

The Six Swans. Pencil. I picked at this for a couple of years, when I was about 18-19. Sold the art back when my originals weren't worth much, so someone got a bargain! This has been darkened digitally, the original is very delicate. #pencil #fantasyart #swans #fairytale

Every once in awhile I get a little full of myself, then I go look at Hal Foster's Prince Valiant and I am humbled. Hoo boy. #princevaliant #halfoster #comics

One of the many reasons I wanted to adapt @neilhimself Chivalry into graphic novel form was to create a comic as a bridge and commentary re: comics and illuminated manuscripts. Have a look at some Western comics more than 1000 years old in this essay! at.tumblr.com/colleendoran/n…

Merlin and Vivien, very early pen and ink work by me. My first lithograph from when I was a kid in school. I think a lot of this was also done in marker, so I expect it has not held up well over time. #kingarthur #merlin #fantasyart #penandink
