Just finished a commission of animating a Richie Rich cover. It was a favorite comic of the person requesting it. I was happy to do it! Currently, I figured people would merely use AI for such things. Thanks so much, JS!

When I come across an unused penciled page by an old master, in this case Jack Kirby, I love trying my hand at inking it. But, then it feels incomplete without dialog and color, so I do that too. Btw, does Hulk have extra tough hair, like Superman? Has it ever been addressed?

On this commission, I was asked to replace the scary alien on UFO Flying Saucers #5 with QUISP! I don’t know anyone, of a certain age, who doesn’t like Quisp. His breakfast cereal was discontinued many years ago, but he will occasionally show up in select areas as a limited release.

Here’s a pretty straightforward commission The request was for me to create a Ghost Rider cover showing his disapproval of “Billionaire’s Row” in NYC.

I find causal nudity, for comedic effect, hilarious! Social media doesn’t agree. For this finished commission, I added pink briefs. The joke is Star-Spangled Kid wore blue with a star pattern BEFORE Wonder Woman appeared in comics. Her culottes were also blue with a star pattern.

"Goose Rider" commission! The request was to recreate Ghost Rider #6, art by John Romita, in the style of Steve Mellor. Mellow drew the first Goose Rider in Marvel Tales #1.

Here's a fun commission. I was asked to recreate the insult drawing of the Thing as its own, physical art! The panel originally appeared in Fantastic Four #15, 1963.

I currently have a piece of original art, and print, up for sale on ebay. I'm looking forward to the new Spider-Man movie! But, I'm fairly sure this scene isn't in it. ebay.io/m/WMCv0d

Last week, I shared the cover I drew for Dr. Eldritch #1, an upcoming indy comic. The creator then commissioned me to color a back cover, using an earlier commission I drew last year. Done and done! (Do people still say that?)

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Here's the promotional poster for FREESTATE COMICON in Lawrence, KS on Sept. 12. I based it on 1950's Blue Bolt #105 cover, by the great L.B. Cole. The old man I added is John Brown, a Kansas abolitionist from the 1800's. He's the official "mascot" of the con.

I just finished the cover for "Doctor Eldritch" #1, for an indy publisher. I don't know a lot about the comic. I just went with what the image the writer described. The book isn't out yet, but I was told I'm free to share it. Btw, I didn't do the logo, but I think it's great!

It's "Supergirl Week" over at the 13th Dimension. I decided to draw a new strip. Even though the ending is probably obvious, it was still fun to draw! 13thdimension.com/its-supergir...

MAD #600 comes out this Wednesday, June 17! The 13thDimension.com shared the full page 1 of my puzzle pages on their site. Hopefully this will whet your appetite to see page 2. Seek it out, if you dare!

I recently bought an all-red Spider-Man/Superman “blank cover” comic. It was all-red. Later I thought, “Spider-Man has a red spider-signal. That’s perfect! It will be available for purchase at Lilac City Comicon, June 6 & 7. Hope to see you there!

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

In the comics community, All Stars Comics #3 is a fairly famous image. Lots of parodies/tributes have been created over the years. With this latest commission, it was my turn! The request was to change certain characters and add specific dialog. Done and done!

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

My latest commission was to draw Spider-Man and Alfred E. Neuman on a blank comic cover. The patron asked for a "worry" theme. Clever. Btw, I accidentally got a small ink smudge on the back cover! I wasn't sure what to do, so I signed it.

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

I love how random my commission requests can be. Here's the cover to MIGHTY SAMSON #1, from 1965, redraw in a Simpsons style!

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

If I remember correctly, "The Prisoner" TV show ran in the late 60's. A couple of years later, "Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp" ran two seasons. Here they BOTH are mashed into one image. I get asked to do the craziest commissions (which I love)! He wanted it in B&W only.

0202

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Latest commission. I don’t think anyone has ever seen these characters together! Top to bottom, are Fat Man, Red Tornado, Bizarro Dr. Fate, Forbush Man, and Johnny Appleseed.

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

I've been a fan of the Inferior Five since I was a kid. Sadly, they've had very few appearances since the 60's. I recently had the itch to draw them, so I scratched it! I put them in an "Avengers Circle"!

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Wonder Girl vs Mary Marvel, a commission I just finished. I'm not sure who would win!

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

This latest commission was a request for Green Arrow and Black Canary. I decided to draw a classic battle pose. Mostly. I can’t stop myself from doing such things.

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

Newest commission. The request was for drawing Superman and Lois Lane together. The situation was left up to me. 😁

I'm excited to announce Asterisk Watches is producing a wristwatch based on my popular "Happiness is Fleeting" art! The floating arm is the minute hand, while the hour is displayed in a cloud. So fun! Only a couple of weeks left on Kickstarter.

Latest commission-- A take-off of the classic Batman vs. The Incredible Hulk treasury. Who wins?

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

I didn't spend much time on this, quickly pulling various things from the internet. But, I had to better envision the hat I dreamt about last night! (It had a generic alien, but I thought Marvin would look good.)

051

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

With so many classic characters falling into public domain lately, I'm surprised I haven't seen any used in advertising! I'll start to ball rolling--

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

The very first Batman comic I owned was The Brave and the Bold #68. Batman turns into “Bat-Hulk.” He’s suddenly bulky and has molten-hot hands! I’ve long held a fondness for him and had the urge to do a drawing. You can read a little more about it here- 13thdimension.com/bat-hulk-the...

I'm part of a Kickstarter campaign called ORPHAN WORKS. As the site says, “Cartoonists so often have unpublished stories sitting in their files. Now, at last, you'll get to see them too!” To give you a taste, here’s the first page of a story I contributed. kck.st/3LGXdwv Please check it out!

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

I received a commission request to combine several, let’s say…big-boned heroes into a group called “The Rotunda.” The person requesting wanted them rushing out a door. He included, “I was thinking it might be insensitive, but since I am on the rotund side myself, it’s probably ok.” Fair enough!

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

I recently finished this recreation of Adventure Comics #60, featuring a bit of an alteration. It was commissioned as a gift and includes an inside joke of "3-H". I'd tell you what the joke means, but I'm not in on it either!

2212

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

I wonder if DC has never asked me to draw a comic because I do things like this for MAD. From "Things Superheroes Hate About Their Jobs" in MAD #47. On sale NOW!

Here's a sneak peek at the poster I illustrated for the Golden State Pinball Festival, coming in May of 2026. If you're a pinball fan, you may recognize a couple of the classic machines that inspired the art. The festival looks like a fun time! goldenstatepinball.org

This commission was a gift to an indy comic creator from a friend. "A variant cover for the relaunch of The CAUSE #1 — part of a nostalgic indie series." Here's a link to the book. My alternate cover won't be available until a undetermined later date-- kbtoysverse.com/pages/cause

Here's a wacky commission I recently finished-- A mash-up between Batman and Watchmen. Oh, with Dennis the menace thrown in for good measure! See comments for original cover.

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

Latest cover commission. If you recognize the characters, you're deep into comic book lore! The insides are by the talented team of John Holland, writer, Larry Guidry, artist, and Damian Felitte, colorist. I'll repost when it goes live on Kickstarter sometime next year--!

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Newest commission. The character in the peacoat is the patron's own creation. He's traveling in a twisted version of Oz! (The character, not the patron. As far as I know--)

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

Sometimes I get oddball commissions. I recently drew a fake WONDER WONDER 80 PAGE GIANT. (See comments.) At the bottom was a space filler of "Wonder Girl Trips Over a Dog." She was mostly unseen. I then received a new request to fully draw that scene! Ha ha! You guys keep me on my toes. So to speak.

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Omigosh! I dropped the ball! I drew this cover for a Kickstarter campaign. I had planned on sharing it when the book went live. It now only has A WEEK LEFT! I also contributed the pencils and inks to a two-page story. Please see comments and check it out!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fin...

I'm a big Ramona Fradon fan. She drew some of the comics I cut my teeth on in the 60's. I recently stumbled across a Spider-Man sketch by her, a rarity I believe. Sadly, there's no date on it. She continued to draw well up into her 90's! I humbly inked and colored it for fun--

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

Just added a new design to my TeePublic page. I'm fairly certain I've seen "Halloweenie" used with Dachshund designs, but not so much with hot dogs. I'm sure they're out there, but having him rising from a bun, like a coffin, hit me as funny. tee.pub/lic/AngelRobot

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

TeePublic shirts are on sale until SUnday, 9/21! You should pick up a couple of items from my store. I need money to buy Halloween candy. If there's any money left over, I'll also get candy for trick-or-treaters. tee.pub/lic/AngelRobot

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

This was a fun commission. The person requesting wanted an imaginary “80 Page Giant” of Wonder Woman doing only mundane things. Haha! Honestly, it makes me laugh.

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

I ran across a Jack Kirby Superman sketch online today. It looked like it would be fun to ink and give it a vintage color treatment. It was!

Kerry Callen @kerrycallen.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

Even before DC and Marvel mixed their characters with ”Amalgam" comics in the late 90's, I thought Matt Murdock would make a great Batman. As Daredevil, Matt has a Radar Sense, perfect for a bat character. Or, if the two combined (like Amalgam comics) he could be BATDEVIL!
