1 Book, 3 Sketches

Tim Fontaine Sketchbook

Through the generous gesture on Tim Fontaine, I was able to do 3 sketches in a row in his sketchbook.

Blue Devil

First was the Blue Devil. Tim could hardly contain his excitement when he was introducing me to the “awesome funness” that is Blue Devil. It was both fun and educating to work on my first Blue Devil ever.

Firestorm (R. Raymond)

He returned with another “old school” DC character. Not a fan of the resurrected versions of the latter years, Tim requested Ronnie Raymond as Firestorm. Not having been a comic reader during those times, this was yet another educating experience.

Captain Marvel

To my delight, he requested a character I needed no references to – Captain Marvel. My only regret in working on this piece was my choice to use gray wash on sketchbook paper, which inevitably resulted in some unwanted wrinkling.

Charlotte from Clubbing


Another fresh sketch request – My rendition of Charlotte from Clubbing created by Andi Watson and Josh Howard, inked on 8″X11″ Bristol Board.

Tom & Jerry


Tom & Jerry, inked on 8″X11″ Bristol Board. This was a unique sketch request and a lot of fun to do. It reminded me watching the show during my childhood days when I couldn’t understand a word of English.

Wonder Woman Redesign in Color


After some consideration, this one (though not quite as “street” and drastically different as the current DC’s change calls for) was what I like the best. 11×17 inked on bristol board. Digitally colored in Photoshop.

Wonder Woman Redesign by JunBobKim

With the recent buzz over DC’s icon Wonder Woman redesign by JMS & Jim Lee, I decided to try my hand at it.As with images I post, you can click on the image to see an enlarge version.


I returned to more of what I envision of Wonder Woman’s build and costume. Pants and boots… my favorite so far.


With this version, I made only very subtle alterations to the original Wonder Woman costume. Still not sure anything should be changed from the original for this icon.

One of my first attempt. My attempt at capturing the essence of JMS’s Wonder Woman redesign intentions. Ended up not really appearing “modern” per se,, instead more reminiscent of a go go dancer.

Ink version and maybe a color version to come…
