Here's a sneak peek at the poster I illustrated for the Golden State Pinball Festival, coming in May of 2026. If you're a pinball fan, you may recognize a couple of the classic machines that inspired the art. The festival looks like a fun time! goldenstatepinball.org

This commission was a gift to an indy comic creator from a friend. "A variant cover for the relaunch of The CAUSE #1 β€” part of a nostalgic indie series." Here's a link to the book. My alternate cover won't be available until a undetermined later date-- kbtoysverse.com/pages/cause

Here's a wacky commission I recently finished-- A mash-up between Batman and Watchmen. Oh, with Dennis the menace thrown in for good measure! See comments for original cover.

Latest cover commission. If you recognize the characters, you're deep into comic book lore! The insides are by the talented team of John Holland, writer, Larry Guidry, artist, and Damian Felitte, colorist. I'll repost when it goes live on Kickstarter sometime next year--!

Newest commission. The character in the peacoat is the patron's own creation. He's traveling in a twisted version of Oz! (The character, not the patron. As far as I know--)

Oops. Just noticed I typed "Wonder Wonder" instead of " Wonder Woman." πŸ™ƒ

Just a simple overlay I created in Photoshop many years ago.

Sometimes I get oddball commissions. I recently drew a fake WONDER WONDER 80 PAGE GIANT. (See comments.) At the bottom was a space filler of "Wonder Girl Trips Over a Dog." She was mostly unseen. I then received a new request to fully draw that scene! Ha ha! You guys keep me on my toes. So to speak.

Omigosh! I dropped the ball! I drew this cover for a Kickstarter campaign. I had planned on sharing it when the book went live. It now only has A WEEK LEFT! I also contributed the pencils and inks to a two-page story. Please see comments and check it out!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fin...

I'm a big Ramona Fradon fan. She drew some of the comics I cut my teeth on in the 60's. I recently stumbled across a Spider-Man sketch by her, a rarity I believe. Sadly, there's no date on it. She continued to draw well up into her 90's! I humbly inked and colored it for fun--

Just added a new design to my TeePublic page. I'm fairly certain I've seen "Halloweenie" used with Dachshund designs, but not so much with hot dogs. I'm sure they're out there, but having him rising from a bun, like a coffin, hit me as funny. tee.pub/lic/AngelRobot

TeePublic shirts are on sale until SUnday, 9/21! You should pick up a couple of items from my store. I need money to buy Halloween candy. If there's any money left over, I'll also get candy for trick-or-treaters. tee.pub/lic/AngelRobot

Yes, that's exactly what I did. I had twice as many as I needed, so I started thinking about what would give it a bit of visual variety.

This was a fun commission. The person requesting wanted an imaginary β€œ80 Page Giant” of Wonder Woman doing only mundane things. Haha! Honestly, it makes me laugh.

I ran across a Jack Kirby Superman sketch online today. It looked like it would be fun to ink and give it a vintage color treatment. It was!

Even before DC and Marvel mixed their characters with ”Amalgam" comics in the late 90's, I thought Matt Murdock would make a great Batman. As Daredevil, Matt has a Radar Sense, perfect for a bat character. Or, if the two combined (like Amalgam comics) he could be BATDEVIL!

Just finished drawing on a blank cover as a commission. I've never tried using markers and colored pencils before, so I gave it a whirl. It's based on Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21.

I recently visited the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum in Kansas City. This Egyptian piece has the wrong hand on each arm! I don’t know if it’s a mistake or if it has meaning behind it. I'd feel more connected to the ancient artist if he merely made a silly mistake.

Just finished a commission of an indy character. He's yet to exist in printed form, so I won't spoil his name here. Shared with permission.
