RIP John Romita Sr. He drew the definitive Spider-Man of my generation, setting the model for countless artists after him. Including me. His influence on Spider-Man, Marvel comics, and my childhood cannot be overstated.

Who remembers this one? It's one of my earlier Marvel posters, and I wish they had let me do more like this. Later on, the push to do "universal" character renderings that could have multi-purpose use cases for licensing really took the fun out of it.

Possibly the most iconic Spider-Man image I worked on, this art was used on every clothing tag, merchandise label, and retail store display during the mid 2000s. This was the face of the Spider-Man Spider Sense marketing campaign.

This Spider-Man was an experiment to try and replicate the old Marvel merchandise digital art style on paper. All my Marvel work was done in Photoshop, so there are very few physical art pieces from that era. I’m not sure if there’s a market for something like this.

Around 2003-2004 I made these two portfolio pieces - Spider-Man and Batman- and sent them to every comic editor's email address I could find. DC's Talent Coordinator told me to stop spamming them. Marvel's Creative Director bought the Spider-Man and hired me for the next 15 years

I’ve noticed that every decade has a pop culture trend that influenced movies, comics and games.

1980s- Ninjas!
1990s- Vampires!
2000s- Zombies!
2010s- Super Heroes!

Hey Scott
A bit off-topic here but I just wanted to say all of your Marvel Heroes work from the 2000s is really awesome and nostalgic, and shaped how I still view the characters to this day.
And by any chance is there a database or archive of all your designs?

In 2005, Marvel commissioned this “movie style” poster from me. This was before Marvel started making their own films. I wasn’t happy with the original version that Marvel approved, so I later made changes to improve it. Don’t ask me to post the one I don’t like. 😀

Maybe when a video game studio specializes in making great single player stories, the execs should let them focus on making great single player story-driven games rather than forcing them to make “live service” multiplayer microtransaction bullshit. I know. I’m a genius.

from the archives. This 2-sided cardboard cutout was a serious challenge. The physical contour for front & back had to be identical. THAT'S NOT HOW FORESHORTENING WORKS. Creating a pose with the same silhouette on the flip side gave me fits. But I made it work.

I suggest working on what I call “edge control”. Right now the edges of the Spider-Man figure is too hard and crisp. While his interior muscle rendering is too soft and blurry. Use more medium-softness brushes to create a consistent look. Not too crisp, and not too soft.
