Been hard at work creating sketch cards for RavenCon (April 9-11) and Pittsburgh ComicCon (April 23 – 25th). Here are some of those ones I’ve worked on so far – as usual, click on each sheet to see a bigger version:

Hey everybody, with summer fast approaching, that means Convention Season is here! This year, I really want to expand my convention presence and try to get as many interested parties to learn about Capes & Babes as possible but I need YOUR help.
Why do I need your help?
Well, I need help with table purchases, travel & hotel expenses and all that good stuff it takes in order to go to these conventions.
How can you help?
Well, by purchasing original art from me in the form of pin-ups and/or sketch cards.
Here’s the deal:
- I will draw 9×12″ commissions of your favorite characters (comic book or otherwise) for the low, low price of $40 ($10 goes for shipping and handling charges).
These drawings will be full-color (with Prismacolor markers), and inked with archival inks on 2-ply bristol board. Shipping in the U.S. is included in the price. I will do either a humorous version (with dialog) or I will do a traditional “silent” pin-up without any dialog or humorous slant – whichever one you want!
- For $50 Black-and-white caricatures on 9 x 12 bristol board with archival inks.
- For $70 Full-color caricatures on 9 x 12 bristol board with archival inks.
You must provide a decent close-up of the person being caricaturized. Shipping and handling is included in the price.
- For $10 a piece, I will do full color trading cards of any character you want.
Trading cards measure 2.5×3.5″ and are inked and colored on bristol board. They will be signed and dated as well. The cards will also come with a protective sleeve. Again, shipping in the U.S. is also included in the price. Shipping and handling is included in the price.
If you’d like to purchase any of the above, just shoot me an email at capesnbabes (at) gmail (dot) com and I’ll send you an invoice from PayPal!
I think this is a much better way to ask for your help then simply popping a Donation button on the site… this way, you get original art AND you help me finance my convention trips this year!
Also, thanks again for reading Capes & Babes. I truly appreciate all of your support!

This is a little overdue but back in early December, I was commissioned to do a Christmas present of an illustration featuring The Hulk and Chuck Norris. Because it was a Christmas present, I couldn’t post it before then and afterward, I got caught up in doing various things for the strip that I forgot about it. but there it is in the first image below.
The other two images are Twitter Avatar caricatures I’ve recently completed. If you’re interested in having a custom Twitter Caricature Avatar created for you, go to my “Commissions” page to find out more information (as well as view bigger versions of the three images below).

I recently did a few commissions for a couple of people. One such commission that I just finished was for my good friend and fellow Community MX partner, Kim Cavanaugh. Kim wanted me to “cartoon-ize” one of his fellow co-workers, Lee – a busy, tech-savvy hockey mom that is addicted to text messaging. Here’s what I came up with:
To see a larger version, click here.
Kim just sent me the tech video podcast he does in Florida called Palm Breeze Cafe. Here’s the YouTube video of Kim giving Lee the cartoon (above) that I did for both of them:
My illustration project is discussed at the very beginning of the show. And, if you want to learn a little bit about the program, Picasa, you can watch the rest of the video as well. Right after Lee receives the cartoon, you can also see the extra little “surprise” I add to every commissioned sketch that someone orders from me.
I also did two other recent commissions. One is for a Christmas present so I’m reluctant to show that until after Christmas but suffice to say, it involves a caricature of Chuck Norris that came out really great (I think).
Here is the Spider-Woman commission I mentioned before. It’s still a work in progress and doesn’t have any text yet (but I know what the dialog is). If you want to see the full image, click on the picture below:
Once the entire thing is done, I’ll fix the link so that the larger version is the final version.
Also, if you’re interested in getting a caricature or commission done:
Please send me an e-mail at capesnbabes [at] gmail [dot] com for prices and other information/details.
If you’re interested in getting a caricature done:
I will need to have a very good, high quality close up photo of the subject matter I am caricaturing.
All commissions and caricatures are done on 9×12″ smooth bristol board and are full color (unless specified otherwise).
Scarlet Witch: The Tax Evasion Years…
July 30th, 2007 |Posted In: Commissions & caricatures, Promotions
Being a long time John Byrne fan, I couldn’t help but wonder what the I.R.S. would have said to the Scarlet Witch and The Vision once it was revealed that Wanda’s kids were just a figment of her imagination and mutant hex powers. Did the Vision and Wanda claim them on their taxes?
How did they deal with the fact the Vision was an android?
Would he be tax eligible?
What about Wanda’s so-called kids? Would they be required to pay back taxes or penalties for the time period that he “kids” existed?
Am I the only one that’s crazy enough to wonder about things such as this?
Maybe I am.

This is what I would imagine if Leelo (from “5th Element”) ever met Guncandy.
