In Celebration of the Black Panther movie - Ultimate Avenger 2 DVD storyboards

To celebrate the opening of the Black Panther movie. Here's my brief connection to the character as a storyboard artist on the Ultimate Avengers 2: Rise of the Panther (2006) DVD movie.

Here is one of the sequences with the Black Panther.

 Here the DVD clip.

 Looking forward to seeing the Black Panther movie.  It's looking to me a milestone in action movies, and beyond.

Dime-A-Dozen Projects #4 - Minuteman & Falcon (not Marvel's Falcon)

[Dime-A-Dozen Projects is so named from a conversation with creative friends of mine as we lamented that when we were working full-time for someone else, we get these (in our minds) original million dollar ideas, that would, somehow, turn into "dime-a-dozen" ideas when we were out of work and on our own.]

Next up in my Dime-a-Dozen projects is more characters created in my early teen years. (1962 - 1969) is....

Minuteman

Minuteman was inspired, of course by Marvel Comic's Captain America.  Cap was revived in the comic world in the mid-1960s with hsi appearance in Avenger no. 4.

 I loved Captain America, but wanted to design my own patriotic supertrooper.  The name Minuteman was picked because it was the mascot of my high school, Thomas Jefferson High School.

Of course I couldn't resist trying my hand at some Captain America comic art. It was a original story, with another Marvel favorite, Electra as a foe.  I did these sample pages to submit to Marvel Comics.  I did show them and got a nice rejection letter to prove it.

This is one of the last drawing of Minuteman done in the 2008.

 Falcon is character I created just based on the name and a costume idea.  

 Just by coincidence, Captain America introduced a partner called Falcon, who appears in the new movies.

 My Falcon had the ability to fly with the aid of gadget on his back, but other then that, I can't remember what else he had going for him.

So far, Falcon has flew his last, and Minuteman is retired, at least for now.

New Youtube Posts

I just post three new movies on my Youtube page. Two are of Dragonfly Flipz Books and the other is my first music video of "Wraped Sky Band Music".

One of my last New Year's Resolutions was to renew my interest in music. as I
November Night is one of our favorite original tunes, which I wrote. This was actually the first time all three of us played it together. Richard, the flute player, and I had work on it before. I always loved the way we did a "stop time" pause near the end of the tune. It was performed before an audience of one, Joyce Benitez, my girlfriend at the time, at her apartment. Fun was had by all, so before the cassette tape totally rots away, I thought I'd share with with the world. (At the risk of making a complete fool of myself...well, too late now) Enjoy.


The Iron Man - War Machine Comix Flipz book (concept demo) was done several years ago, long before the movie was started. It's made from a test clip from NIC Entertainment, an Korean animation studio did as a demo for Marvel. I wish I have the full clip to show, but I return the demo tape to the friend who lend it to me. The NIC did the art for the War Machine graphic novel released under Marvel Comics' MAX Comics imprint. Maybe I get to make some more, if Marvel is interested.


The Halo 2 Dragonfly Game Flipz Mirco-Book is the first Halo Flipz book I did originally as 5" x 7" book. This time, I shrank it to trading card size, just to see how small this flip book format would work. Actually it worked pretty good. Still, without a licensing deal I can't produce them.

New Sketch - Doctor Apollo

I just pick up a new sketch book and finally got around to drawing something in it. Doctor Apollo is a original character that's be knocking around my head for a long time. I don't have any great plans for him, but time will tell.

Enjoy.
