Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

ABSOLUTE BATMAN… sorta. A remark in a copy of NED, LORD OF THE PIT vol 2 for WONDERLAND COMICS in Putnam, CT. They requested NED doing his best impersonation. The shop carries my book; show them some love.

PHANTOM STRANGER! 9x12 color commission at TERRIFICON.

081

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

TERRIFICON. A couple head sketches. WOLVERINE on a red sketch cover. And EVIL from TIME BANDITS on a funky sketchbook. White paper is just sooooo last year.

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

TERRIFICON! begins. Somewhat less ambitious of a setup than the last show. I’m becoming such a slacker.

030

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

It’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, CHARLIE BROWN! With all these mashups I’ve done, I could never think of a good character for SCHROEDER. I felt bad for him. Now he gets his moment.

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

STORM! New bomber-nose-art inspired commission. With special effects no less. The video shows the process from thumbnail to finished inks.

050

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

CHARLIE BROWN meets 70’s pop culture! More PEANUTS mashup fun. This was just a natural. I did replace the guns with lollipops ‘tho. Just seemed the right way to go.

061

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

TERRIFICON! Is this weekend. (I’ve barely recovered from SDCC.) Great show for collectors. And I have some spots open in my commission list still. Hope to see you there.

021

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

THE RIDDLER! Daily sketch. A design-y idea I wanted to try out.

060

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

THE JOKER! Finally did the animation idea from the daily sketch last week. I’m not really an animator; just playing around with iMovie. I looped it a couple times.

021

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

VOLDEMORT! Put together a time lapse of the commission from SDCC.

010

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON! Some miscellany from the show. YELLOWJACKET head sketch with a design-y motif; WOODSTOCK from Peanuts as BATMITE; HULK remark in a Marvel history book.

031

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON full-figure 9x12. This is a commission for a collector’s own character he created. Tried something different with the glow fx, not filling the background black. And, yes, I know that’s sorta Mickey Mouse in the lower right.

060

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

PEANUTS meets SILENCE OF THE LAMBS! A little Sunday silliness.

031

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

VOLDEMORT! SDCC commission. My first excursion into the world of HARRY POTTER.

040

DAREDEVIL! Head sketch at SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON.

081

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON begins! Tried my best to do a time lapse of the construction of my giant wall; a little tough to shoot it from the exact same spot every time.

070

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

TOTORO! Daily sketch. Fun one today; quick sketch on a gift wrapped baby shower present. Can you guess the theme of the party?

041

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

THE JOKER! Daily sketch. This is sort of a prelim to an animation I want to play with using the puzzle pieces. Unfortunately with SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON this week, I won’t be able to fiddle with it until next week.

040

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

FROM THE FILES: PEANUTS/STAR WARS! This was the first Charlie Brown mashup I did a couple years back in black and white. Decided to add some color. And added FRANKLIN/LANDO.

161

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

MAN-THING! 5x8 daily sketch size. Such a cool character to draw.

061

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON is coming next week! Had some fun with iMovie here. And if it’s too subtle, I will be as usual at BOOTH 4301 down in like HALL D-E.

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Just a reminder: GALAXYCON NEW ORLEANS is this weekend. As you can see, they’re still setting up…

041

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

INDIANA JONES! I don’t do likenesses that much, but wanted to try it. I also have a lot of these brown markers I haven’t used yet.

050

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

PEANUTS/AVENGERS part 2. Sally’s hair just naturally worked for Scarlet Witch’s headpiece. It’s fate.

0122

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

THE PEANUTS/AVENGERS! Part 1. More CHARLIE BROWN mashups. I can’t stop myself. Charlie/CAPTAIN AMERICA; Pigpen/IRON MAN (it works with the armor sort of a trash can); Woodstock/ANT-MAN; Lucy/BLACK WIDOW.

060

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

3 new STAR WARS paintings (and 1 from the files). CHEWIE @, MON MOTHMA, HAN & THRAWN.

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Some more CHARLIE BROWN mash-up fun for the holiday. HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

0142

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Working on a batch of new splatter painting commissions, and decided to do a large WATCHMAN, team canvas. Sorry, you’ll have to torn your head sideways to see the whole thing at the end.

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

GALAXY CON NEW ORLEANS is coming up next weekend. It’s my first time to a show there, and I haven’t been in the general area for a while. If you’re there, definitely stop by. And my COMMISSION LIST has open spaces.

010

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

LOBO! Head sketch finished. The Main Man.

031

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

LOBO! Working on the head sketch started at GSCF. Doing the background first… And his red eye.

072

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Finally scanned in the CHARLIE BROWN/BATMAN family sketches, and put them together in one image. Makes a nice group.

0245

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

LOBO! Working on a head sketch yesterday at GSCF. The MAIN MAN’s going to be in color…as he should be.

030

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

LION-O from THUNDERCATS. Color head sketch at GARDEN STATE COMIC FEST.

063

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

GORILLA GRODD!! Head sketch on a FLASH sketch cover at GARDEN STATE COMIC FEST.

161

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

DEADSHOT & JEANETTE commission finished. I think the logo mosaic on the floor works nicely.

0104

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Working on a commission of DEADSHOT & JEANETTE from SECRET SIX. These are the finished pencils before inks. If you’d like to see process videos that I posted from initial layout to this stage, they were too long to post here. You can check out my Instagram.

073

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

PEANUTS as the BATFAMILY second part. I can easily see LINUS snapping and going full JOKER.

050

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

PEANUTS as BATFAMILY part 1. I added color to the CHARLIE BROWN/BATMAN & SNOOPY/ROBIN because I knew the rest would work better in color. Part 2 to come.

061

Jim Calafiore @jcalafiore.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

THE SUPREME INTELLIGENCE! Took me a while to get back to fixing the green bleed page, with HEROES CON in between. Decided the suggestion for this guy fitted the bill. Plus, I’ve never drawn him.
