The canvas material Easy Canvas Prints uses is archival quality. If using a photo of your own, Easy Canvas Prints also offers a variety of enhancements including Black and White or Sepia Conversion, Retouching, and Photo Collages.

Troy-Jeffrey Allen, Gene Green, and That Urban Punk invited Joe Carabeo and I to be guests on their podcast, The Menagerie of Kick-Assery.
For their 29th episode the theme was Hater’s Ball and we each discussed four things we dislike. Take a listen at http://wearemoka.blogspot.com/2011/08/mokasst-029.html.
Fun times! Bonus points for learning what a Jiggaboo is.

You may remember this image from Wonder Woman Day 2010. This time around I’ve taken the time to color it, thus enhancing the retro.
The inspirations behind my re-design of Wonder Woman are Mad Men, vintage stylings, secretary style, Bruce Timm, and making sure Wonder Woman was not wearing pants – because I prefer skirts. The only pants I prefer are jeggings!
I will try to have prints of this illustration at Curls Studio’s upcoming convention appearances: SPX, Intervention, and New York Comic Con.
