I believe this was used as the cover of New Mutants #44. Beats me. I tend to get covers that are themed rather than for a specific series. This one's cool since its the first one that I was able to do with marker and watercolor. I was worried about how a colorist would handle it, but ultimately decided I dont really care as long as I'm content with my part. I still havent seen a good shot of the color version, but I'll probably hate it. I'm a douche that way. Still though, I was happy to get a Spidey cover. A rogues gallery cover to boot. Granted, none of these guys (except Spidey) look the same as I know them, but its still a nice treat for me as a Spidey fan.

I love the piece and the way you've done it in greyscale, the villains look imposing and Spidey is sort of, in the middle of all of it like, "yo!", fooling around ( or dodging bullets, cough, doing like superhero-ish stuff ). You render in a way which is so beautiful, you have a unique touch to it. Gorgeus work.
- Yet you still have so many absolutely wonderful oil paintings in your gallery with great use of colour and different tones! I'm quite positive that your skill would carry on to the digital medium as well, just as long as you get familiar with the tools, I think. Of course it is fully your own decision and what actually interests you. Definately giving you a nudge to try it though, as I would love to see what you come up with it - your traditional media-works shine on their own rights so wonderfully that I'm super curious to see what you'd come up with if you'd posess a tablet!
It is wild.
