I always loved making lunch bag adventures for my kids when they were young. As October looms ahead, I am pondering making a zine of their adventures among the Autumnauts of Dimension H-31. If such a thing may catch your fancy, let me know!

This is a variant of one of the #SuperSkrulls I designed for #AEMH... but they didn’t wish me to use a childhood favorite of mine in the mix... #ShangChi, so I added it back in. 😊👍

#flashback Here is a bit of incidental work I did for the Sony Animation series "Godzilla the Series" for the three part series of episodes, entitled "Monster Wars". A couple of human scientists who have become possessed by evil alien influences.

Alas, I am only a lowly Animation, Character Designer I’m not actually an animator. Only design the things other people make the move.😊

When I was a kid, I really dug Jack Kirby's dystopian comic OMAC... upon reflection it was oddly prescient. #jackkirby #omac

Nah. It was not involved in the comics. Wish I was, but alas…

Back while I was working on Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, I wished we could have had the Super Adaptoid appear... Unfortunately it was not to be. That did not stop me from scribbling about that mixed up villain nonetheless. :)

Some survived, some did not. I documented them before they left the house. I didn’t want the kids getting neurotic about them. They were just my way of saying “I love you, have a nice day” that they would see. 😊
