I never would have imagined 3 plus years ago, when I ordered Tomb of Dracula...I would be requesting DEVIL DINOSAUR! JB takes the best elements of each character and always finds a way of making the un-cool....F'N' cool!

Great idea coloring in the dinosaur first before inking.  I have always wondered how someone wouldavoid smudging the ink when using a magic marker.

Would you consider doing a color version of Superman against the black and white cityscape?  It reminds me of the old Neal Adams Superman covers.

Now I'm thinking the Hulk and She-Hulk pieces would look good with green in them.

Devil Dinosaur was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. I was 10 when it came out, and I collected all 9 issues. That comic gave me my first taste of a few things: "The Hunt," collecting a book's entire run, the letdown of cancellation, and it also taught me to notice artists and writers. I bought the $30 hardcover omnibus, which reproduces the run very nicely, although I was hoping for more "special features."

I'm a big fan of working mixed-media - especially pen and ink with chalk pastels. I always draw out what I want first, then do the chalk, then do the ink so the black is crisp and clear and not muted by the pastel colour. 

I guess it really depends on the effect you're going for, though.

I'm almost totally ignorant of this character, but I like the commission -- it's really fun and action packed, as if all hell is breaking loose. Nice backgrounds and the red colouring adds to the energy. Love the sky.

Nope. So far there have been two commission pieces to which I have added color, coincidentally both for Clint. In both cases, it was a single color, that added a little something extra to that particular commission. I do not really offer "color" commissions, and I don't anticipate a time when I will.

As much as we admire Clint's collection, let's not forget to admire him for what he does.  Thanks again, Bro!

Oh, and great piece, JB!

Your signature is really cool on this one by the way.
