Lex Luthor (Prototype)
Another kit made from cast parts. I simply painted him to match his show colors. The jury is still out as to whether or not this version is more screen accurate than the mass produced one. I suspect the true answer lies somewhere in between. Though I think I prefer this (read more...)
Lex Luthor (Presidential Candidate)
Not much to see here. It’s simply a Mattel Lex Luthor repainted in his alternate suit, most often seen in JLU during his presidential campaign. Clean and simple. Created April 2013 (read more...)
Robin (Gotham Knight)
To accompany a fully cloaked Bats, one must have a fully cloaked Robin. The basic idea here is to wrap the vinyl around the figure so the vinyl can hang straight. The widest point along the chest is usually the best place. Even then, I had to slice off the (read more...)

Batman (Gotham Knight)

Harley’s Holiday
Some time ago I ran across the children’s book “Harley’s Holiday.” It’s one of those large books with buttons for audio clips. I’d seen the cover from time to time and didn’t give it much thought. This time around, I got a glimpse at the interior art. Not only was (read more...)
Supergirl Painting
After the success of my Harley and Batgirl painting, I was eager to start my next project. I researched several options, and ultimately decided to use this frame of Supergirl. I felt it would make a great painting, given the forced perspective. I think I was right! Supergirl is 24″ (read more...)
Mad Love Digital Art
For my second dip into the vector pool, I upped the ante and chose my favorite hench gal, Harley! What more iconic image of the criminal jester than her break out of the Joker from “Mad Love?” While simple by professional standards, I found this piece to be a fun (read more...)
Easy: A simple parts swap. Little if any paint.
Basic: Some modified parts. Mostly a new paint job.
Moderate: New and modified parts.
Skilled: Lots of new and modified parts. “Frankensteining” often involved.
Advanced: All of the above, plus a great deal of original sculpting.
