MMPR - Black Ranger

This year, I got to meet Walter Jones aka Zack Taylor aka the Black Ranger. I made this poster right before the convention so I could get him to sign one for me. When I was a kid, the Black Ranger was always my favorite. I told Walter that he was the cool one and he agreed.

Ms. Marvel

This is still my favorite costume for Ms. Marvel. I wonder what she'll end up looking like for her movie in a few years.

Cracked Skull

I've always liked the imagery of skulls, but I feel like t-shirts with skulls usually go too gothic, too biker, too metal or too something else. I wanted to make a skull that was cool enough for guys, but sweet enough for the ladies, so I made this guy with a rock 'n roll lightning bolt crack.

This is available as a variety of shirts, hoodies, v-necks and onesies as well as coffee mugs, art prints, canvases, phone cases and other stuff. Check it out in my society6 shop.

Revoltech TMNT - Leo and Raph

Earlier this week I received the first two TMNT to be released by Revoltech - Leonardo and Raphael. They are amazing!

I've had a lot of turtles toys over the years -- possisbly too many -- and these are definitely some of my favorites. The NECA figures had been the top for a while, but these may have just taken their spots. As you can see from my last post, I'm a big fan of the Nickelodeon cartoon and these figures match the style perfectly. Much closer than Playmates has ever been able to come. They are also super articulated and can probably hit more poses than any other TMNT figure, although I would have to do a direct comparison to say for sure. The Revoltech joints are a little different from what I'm used to, but I'm getting better at posing them. One thing these figures can do that no other TMNT fig has before -- their eyes move! You can move their bandana left or right to make their eyes shift. If you slide it all the way in one direction, their eyes go "battle mode" white. Such a great feature. Their weapons are also very sturdy and fully painted. Leo also comes with the best accessory any turtle figure has seen before -- a full pizza with individually removable slices! I'm sure I'll have more pics later, especially in a couple weeks when Mikey and Donnie come in.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turltes II

I've been drawing the turtles with more influences from the Nickelodeon show lately, so I thought I would update my TMNT poster to show that. I'm not taking on that style completely, but I have been taking some keys for all the turtle characters -- three toes, foot wraps, brighter colors and rounder heads. I also still like color-coded weapons and smaller ankles and wrists. I'm a fan of almost all TMNT incarnations, so I like to combine bits and pieces into my own designs.

Winter Soldier

If I had to pick, I would say that Captain America: The Winter Soldier was the best comic book movie this year. The action was amazing, the story was great, and everyone nailed their part. The Winter Soldier was such an ominous threat and a great sympathetic villain. Can't wait to see where the MCU goes from here.

Nightcrawler

The Incredible Nightcrawler is another one of my new prints for this year.
