Description This is my first printed work for Mirage Studios, that appeared in Tales Of The TMNT #18. The frontispiece is basically a pinup used on the first page to help set-up the main story for the issue. The thing that's nice is that they gave me room to do whatever I felt like, as long as it had Donatello in the piece. I decided to let him have a 1-on-1 talk with one of his own kind. Fun stuff.

I see, guess that idea didn't exist back in 2006
Maybe you'd like 2012 show

Thanks for stumbling across it here too. Mirage is just a cool company to have worked for, on issues #18 (for that frontispiece) as well as issue #20. Hoping I'll do more for them in the future.

I hope you do, too! Your work is great.

I have a daydream that someday they'll let me do a frontispiece. They're my favorite part of Tales.
