Ben Gives You Nuclearman!..

The character you never asked for! I'm not sure why I drew him. I think I've been wanting to do Zod and his fellow Kryptonian criminals from Superman 2, but just started sketching out Nuclearman.  And this is what you get.

I'm feeling the itch to go through and do the rest of the villains, but we'll see if I have time.  Time Lapse of the entire thing is below.

Thwipp!

Who doesn't love a comic book crossover? Not me. Anyway, this piece was drawn for a comic book pinup show happening at Breakneck Gallery in Lakewood, OH; this coming Saturday (Feb 21st).

This lil' doodle was drawn digitally, using photoshop, but the the piece hanging in the show was printed on paper toned using tea, which created a very cool vintage magazine pinup look to the print. If your in the neighborhood, come check it out.

Spider Woman!

We've had a busy summer out painting and such, even so, back to our mini challenges!  This time it's Spider Woman.  I decided to take the opportunity to mess around with my ink brush pen again as well as my exercises in limited color but this time I stumbled across a look from one of my favorite things growing up.

They use to sell these small, plastic pencil sharpeners with puffy stickers on the back of them, diecut out so you could stand them up and play with them like action figures.  Action figures you could have, play with on your school desk and when the teacher got mad you could say they were just harmless pencil sharpeners.  They were great, cost like 25 cents in the school office and looked kinda like this.  Always a yellow background and always limited color, but more importantly secret school time toys! 

Ben, Round 37: The Tin Men!

The original Wizard of Oz film isn't my only (or most powerful) relation to the series.  Growing up in the 80's, I can remember the release of Return to Oz and would often catch The Wiz playing on TV.  I wanted to represent all 3 films and couldn't think of a better way than combining the each film's Tin Man into a superhero team.  Tin Man, Tin Man, and Tik Tok form The Tin Men!
