What I've been up to

We have a huge rec room in the basement of our house, reserved as a playroom to store toys and children.

For the last almost 2 years, there have been a series of comic book panels traced out on the wall, waiting for colour.  As of this morning, the first one waits no longer...

 

Dominating the wall, it's a 7'x5' Superfriends spectacular.  Painted by hand, by me, into the wee hours of the last few nights.  I'll be painting the surrounding wall (probably in a dark red) and adding a shadowbox, but that has to wait until the other panels are done.

Only 7 more panels to go.

Our kids are so lucky to have you.

Thank you for being so talented and hard working!

Very nice! Most bloggers I suggest to spend less time in the basement, but you may be the exception that proves the rule! Heh.

Nice portrait of you and your family but does mikey always have to wear the cape and that "S" on his chest?

You are indeed multi-talented in so many ways.

How totally cool is that?! Do you do commissions?

I hate to ding you geek points, but that ain't the Super Friends. Hawkgirl, John Stewart GL, and Martian Manhunter say "Justice League." And it just ain't "Super Friends" without Aquaman.

Nice piece, though... (wink) and I agree about Mikey's fashion sense. Underwear outside of his pants? Sheesh.

You're absolutely right Jay, Mikey should definately just forgo the underwear, altogether!

Aquaman?! Now who's losing geek points? Although having the ability to breathe underwater could be a good skill for Mikey to learn ;)

[Jay Tea]

Oh, I wasn't dissing Aquaman, just that your illustration was DEFINITELY not "SuperFriends," but "Justice League."

Don't make go all Gleek on your Wonder Twins...

Hey... only I get to gleek the twins!
