It's a bird...it's a plane...it's Superman's cousin
It's been a while since I showed off any new additions to my comic art collection... mainly because there haven't been many new additions lately, funds being what they are this time of year. But thumbing through the old portfolio, I see a few pieces I've had for a while but never displayed here. I'll showcase one just to liven up the page.
This is another gorgeous sketch by Michael McDaniel, the artist who also drew the Mary Marvel piece of which I'm awfully fond. When I acquired this rendition of Supergirl, I had a chance to exchange a couple of e-mails with Michael and find out a little more about him. He lives in the Atlanta area, and apparently had some of his work published by a few minor-league comics companies back in the early '90s. He's still hopeful of latching onto an opportunity with one of the major outfits, but right now he contents himself with selling an occasional drawing on eBay.
As you can see from this example of his work, this is one talented artist. His linework is absolutely stunning, and he shows a real flair for both naturalistic anatomy and subtly nuanced facial expression. If nothing else, Marvel or DC should latch onto him to illustrate covers, a la Adam Hughes or Brian Bolland.
Meanwhile, I'm going to think up a really nice commission project to do with him next year sometime. Suggestions?

She looks more full-figured than the Twiggy sticks populating many comic books.
