Hey, c'mon out and get your copy!

POSTSCRIPT: Hey, we had a big turnout, a great time and handed out hundreds of copies of “What Makes a Man Dress Up Like a Bat??”! For a small taste of the event, check out the dramatic reading of Bob Pistilli's "Bat-ish Man" strip on youtube here and here. The show will be up through the month of September. Don't miss it!

Here's a peek at the first panel of my strip.

I did a few drawings to hang on the gallery wall for the "What Makes a Man Dress Up Like a Bat??" show at BRAVE NEW WORLDS. They tie in to the strip I drew. I based them on illustrations from men's magazines circa late '50s to early '60s. They are on sale at the gallery for a ridiculously low price.

Click on the below images to view the drawing in its entirety. Although they aren't explicit, they aren't exactly work safe either.

Hubba Hubba!

LA BELLE ET LA BÊTE (1946) (Beauty and the Beast) - Director Jean Cocteau.

Here's a drawing I did for the LAWNCHAIR DRIVE-IN in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia. It was a PHILLY COMIX JAM project for a poster to promote the 2009 film series . Ultimately, the project was aborted by the LCDI, however, the members of the PCJ held up their end of things very well. You can see the complete series here.

It's MOLLY & GUS!

Well, this is the third and final installment, just in time, before everyone is sick of Christmas '08 already. Click HERE to see it.

Ok, the next year, 1998, I was slowly loosing my mind when I had an idea for another Christmas strip. Blah...Blah...Blah... I'll post the thrilling (yawn) story behind this strip in a day or two. I wanted to get this up before Easter!
