Booth fight!

The last ten issues of IDW’s GI Joe all take place at the casino. After a bit, it felt a lot like an old Dr. Who story from…

To quote Kirk… “Khan!”

More from issue 292, and in this sequence, Dr. Mindbender is supposed to obtain some DNA from the secretly discovered burial site of Genghis Khan. I spent way…

Place your bets.

The final run of IDW’s GIJoe: Real American Hero was set in a Cobra themed casino. I really wanted to capture the feel of those places, which always…

Can you out run a bullet?

More from GIJoe: Real American Hero; page 18, issue 291. Over my (almost) ten years on GI Joe, I learned way more about guns, and the military than…

Blast from the (not so distant) past

Thought I’d post some pencil pages from my last run on IDW‘s GIJoe: Real American Hero; page 09, from issue 291. These books were on a compressed schedule,…

The end is here, and so I face, my final curtain–

The last IDW issue of GI Joe came out this week, 300! Tanks for the memories. 

Don’t go losing your head!

But the last IDW GI Joe drops today… 300, the end of an era! I wish all the best to the next creative team that gets to work…

All work and no play–

Pisses Storm Shadow off to no end. Seriously, any of the Joes do anything around here? 

Wait for it!

Cause the final issue doesn’t drop until next week!

Guest starring~ Charo! (not really)

Most artists pick celebrities to reference for characters, as some Joe figures are obviously based on actors from the time they were designed, and even those that weren’t…

Slip sliding away

Now and then I do like the motion of a page, and as I said before I prefer things to feel more like a movie. That said, I…

The devil is the details!

Most people won’t even catch half of these things, but when I’m given a location, or specific situation, I try to fully set design stuff. I don’t just…

Morning has broken

Or as I refer to it… dawn. A lot of people take credit on this, but here is her first appearance.

UHump-60 Day

Mixing it up, with a sketch of a whirly-bird. Prelims for a panel in the new Joe book. 

Mo Joe~ !

Sometimes you see a shot, and ask… “Wonder if I’d have drawn it that way?“. In an issue before my restart, a panel caught my eye, and I…

Ink it up, lil’ darlin’, ink it up!

As promised, here are the inks to that “chunk” off the cover of 291. Can you guess what plot device joins me in my return?

The Wild West–

You may know your Joes, but do you know who this is? Don’t cheat!

No prize awarded for hitting the Grid-Iron!

I didn’t see anyone upload an example to my reference from last week’s Superb Owl post, so no-no-no prize goes to anyone! Anyway, here’s what I was paying…

No Prize sea side!

I base most of these No Prize drawings on the model sheets in the “Field Manuals”. The animation sheets generally show more specific detail, but sometimes the toys…

It’s a Knockdown for GIJoe

As I said, I hit the “Field Manual”, find a costume, read the file card, and crank out a shot. I try to modernize some of the elements…
