public domain "superhero"

So a little while ago I did a couple illustrations for John Rovnack's Panel to Panel.
The idea was to update a public domain golden age character.
Here's the Original Madame Satan,
and here's my version,

The concept for her character is that she was an evil woman who poisoned her husband but was then killed by him, and in hell she marries satan and goes back up to seduce men into hell, and then reveals her skull face.
As you can see I pretty much kept the original concept and color scheme. Her Satan was really boring and generic so I made him a little more goat like, or Rosemary's Baby like. I also added skeleton hands and put her in a teddy instead of an evening gown.

Bryan Stone was part of this project, he did a post showing off his art HERE
So did Josh Rosen, HERE

We did these for a panel to panel BOOK that should be out in march. check out the Facebook page for updates.
Here's the rundown of the book, it sounds super interesting,

Amelia 3 review up on Groovy Age

Curt Purcell over at The Groovy Age of Horror just posted a review of Amelia 3!
Go Check it Out!!!

Amelia 3 cover and beer

I re-colored the cover for Amelia 3, which is available at IKJK.  Have I mentioned that before?
The original print run had a screen printed cover, but as soon as that runs out the new ones will have color printed cover.
Here's the new one,

Here's a scan of the original,

So you can see it's not that different, just a little deeper colors.

Also, I've been working on this high school play, it's been a lot of fun, Here's the website
It's running this Valentine's weekend, if you're in WRJ you should go!
Anyway, since characters in the play drink beer, but this is HIGH SCHOOL I made fake beer labels that go over root beer cans. Here's the label.


Happy Valentine's weekend all you happy people...
