Wooooohaaaa! Welcome everyone to my new forum (Thanks Brian)! I’ve wanted to do this for years but I was never quite up to the task of maintaining a newsgroup. I’ve been in art warrior mode for about 6 years straight, and “Paint or Sleep” has been my undying creed. But, since I became a daddy in August, I’ve had a new outlook on life and I think I’m ready to take this on now! I hope everyone will bear with me this first month as I get used to the forum.
I’m glad to hear all the positive comments on my She-Hulk covers, and you may have noticed my different approach to the last half of these covers—this is that new outlook I was just telling you about, and I started doing these covers a little while after the birth of Andrew and Madison. Everything is fresh in my mind and… better. I guess they are like creative fuel. With her green-ness I’ve been able to explore my art in a totally different way from Elektra and Emma Frost. Certain characters can limit what you can do with them artistically (like Elektra who is just a stone-faced killing machine for instance). With She-Hulk, Dan Vandersloot kept the crazy ideas comin’, and every month was a surprise—very inspiring! My run on She-Hulk is over now, >sob< but I’ve recently taken up the cover duties on Ms Marvel, so things are not so bad are they? Anyway, a great thing happened last month with Ms M: I have my own personal “must draw” list which contains many Marvel characters (mostly Avengers) and on this month’s Ms Marvel cover I got to paint one of them: BEHOLD….Le TIGRE!!!!!

See how the tail goes through the hole? Sh-nice.
Here is what the cover looked like BEFORE Brian Reed mentioned that the scene could take place in a jungle (I added the background in that same day)
