The fellow with the shaved head is K.Z. O’Neil from Misspent Youths
The fellow with the exaggerated features was fun to draw.

Just Some Guy
Practice portrait.
Meet the Zazkwotch
And now we begin a new (old) sketchbook. As near as I can figure this book dates from the fall of 1998 to sometime in 1999.
This is a portrait of a sasquatch, specifically of the protagonist for Zazquotch. Zazquotch was a silent comic that ran in the GLYPH newspaper tabloid.
Doctors, Flips and Flying Kaiju
In the upper right is Doctor Pill from Little Nemo in Slumberland.
In the center is Doctor Doom.
On the lower half of the page:Rodan, Gyaos and the Giant Claw.
In three places on the page, Flip, also from Little Nemo.
Spider-Man Villains
Spider-Man #103 was the first comic book I ever owned. Spider-Man has pretty much stayed my favorite superhero. I don’t read the comics anymore. I’m sure I would enjoy them if I found a stack lying around but I’m not interested enough to buy his current adventures. I’ve already read enough Spidey stories. I’m done even if he isn’t.
Just as Spidey is my favorite superhero, his rogue’s gallery contains some of my favorite supervillains. Here are a few of them. First one to name them all gets a No-Prize.
Cuddling with Sharp Objects
An anthropomorphic lamp.
A teddy bear to avoid.
A potentially safer bear.
Aunt Hortense.
Obscure Comix mascot.
Willie, trying to be fierce.
Back to Milpitas
There’s a tiny Lili Veracruz in the upper right of this page.
And a partial sketch of Junkamungo, my revamp of the Milpitas Monster.
Atlas Revisited
A page of updates of characters from the shortlived Atlas comics company. No deep thinking went into these sketches, just me trying on versions of the characters that fit my imagination.
Again Megalon
Another attempt at doing a redesign of Megalon.
Behold the Notebook
The client who commissioned the work with the George character asked me to draw a notebook to accompany the other objects (binoculars, flashlight, etc) that I’d already drawn. I drew it up in pencil, got approval from the designer and then inked it for him to do the vector work on.
