Another cover done for Sniper and Rook. Took me longer than I would have liked, but having to color most of it while looking through one eye was quite the challenge. Damn pink eye......

Had some of my work for Hi-Fi hit the stands recently so I'm good to post these now, I think. This was my first ever work published for one of the big two so I was super-psyched to get the opportunity even if it was only a single page for each. At least I feel like I'm heading in the right direction.

Who doesn't want to color the JLA, right? I did. This was from JLA #53. Pencils by Mark Bagley and inks by Norm Rapmund.



I'm a HUGE Captain Marvel fan, so it was pretty cool to be able to color a page from the Shazam! one-shot. Can't wait to sink my teeth into the Big Red Cheese himself! Pencils by Cliff Chiang



This is a page from Titans #31. I was really happy with the way this page turned out. Pencils by Fabrizio Fiorentino



More to come!!!!! While these have already gone to print, I'd still love to hear any feedback you may have on them. Good or bad, whatever I can use to get better, I'll be happy to take.

Color commission for an anniversary present. You know you've got a good woman when she commissions comic book art for you. She wanted herself as Catwoman and her husband as Batman (hence the bald Bruce Wayne).

I ended up going with a limited palette due to all the stuff going on in the artwork. I thought that might help focus the eye a bit better. Bob drew a Bruce head as well that I'm going to slide in there for the portfolio, but I haven't gotten to that yet.

C&C's always appreciated.

Man, I'm so pumped! Justice League Generation Lost #22 hit the stands this week. These are the two pages I did for that issue for Hi-Fi. My first published colors on Batman (Bruce Wayne version ), and to top it all off it had a sweet shot of Wonder Woman! Two of the Trinity, baby! Forgive my exuberance, but working in comics is just cooler than even working for the space program.

AND, my fanboy-ness isn't over yet.

Here are a couple pages from Adventure Comics #524, in stores NOW!!!! This is twice as cool for me because I'm a) a BIG Legion of Superheroes guy. The very first comics I ever read was Legion of Superheroes. I can still remember sitting in my dentist's office and reading those comics, so I've got a soft spot for the Legion. And I'm tremendous fan of Phil Jimenez's work. His work on Wonder Woman after George Perez left the book back in the day, kept me reading the title. Probably the biggest compliment I could give him was that it was so difficult for me to tell his work from Perez's because they were so similar and both so very damn good.

Quick commission for Bob LeFevre. I was always more of a Star Wars guy, but I did like the Trek too.

Got a break between Hi-Fi assignments, so I'm trying to get caught up on commissions and see if I can finally move on to more portfolio work. This is a commission for Bob LeFevre and is being given to a friend of his family. I think the plan is to make T-shirts out of it for the client's bar, so I wanted to keep things kind of smooth so I didn't use any kind of texture brushes and just allowed the pencils and the color to kind of define texture in places.

A few more.

This was the first time I was working George Perez's artwork (for real anyway). This was the last set of pages I had from Hi-Fi in what I had come to call Hell Week. I had about 3 hours of sleep a night, worked my day job on top of coloring, and my wife and her son were both sick. Deadlines and extra pages of True Blood and JLGL #24 didn't give me as much time with these as I would have liked but it was still a HUGE thrill to be able to work these pages. George Perez has been my favorite artist since I was a kid, so this was pretty special.

And the aforementioned JLGL #24 pages.

Great colors!
I love Booster Gold, so it is very cool you are doing colors on this.

[Ross Hughes]

Thanks! I did a couple pages of Dan Jurgens' return to Booster Gold too that will be coming out later this month. That was a treat since Booster was created by Dan while I was in high school (or thereabouts). Good times, and I was there from issue #1.

That is awesome! Please be sure to let me know when they are coming out. I would like to see your colors on those issues.
I really need to subscribe to Booster Gold. In fact, I'm going to check prices on that today.

Will do!
