Thanks Illoman. I worked hard on Wonder Woman and really a painting I've wanted to do for a long time. It was a show my two sisters and I would watch together. I had such a huge crush on Lynda Carter but what young man didn't.

Love your Frankie John. Beautiful texture on it.

Thanks guys, I did some edits to get it looking more like it actually does

I've got stacks and stacks of old drawings, unfinished pencil sketches, Sharpie illustrations, etc. I've got 'em stuffed in drawers, plastic bins and boxes. Some of them, I'll keep forever. Every so often, I'll go through a pile, pick out a few and just trash them. Sometimes, friends will take a few off my hands (if they happen to be in town). My wife says I should put them all in a scrapbook! I don't wanna do that, though - well, maybe, 25% of the bunch. They are kinda fun to peruse, every now and then, but they're just... there. Filling up drawers and the bottoms of containers.

Seriously, does anyone else have this "problem"? I've literally thrown out hundreds of these things. I'd rather they go to a ghoul home than a garbage can. What do you all suggest I do with them, seriously? I don't have a lot of room and I'm constantly rearranging all of my stuff. As you can guess, the drawings, black and white, color, pencils, a few chalks, etc. are mostly of BIGFOOT, VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES, GIANT GORILLAS, NAKED WOMEN (ahh, just kiddin' ), WEIRD CARTOONS, etc.

So, speak up, O' Mighty Peers - set me straight. WWMKD? What would Monster Kids do?

Thanks, gang!

Seriously, guys - thanks. That settles it - I'm gonna organize them and put some in binders. Will still probably get rid of some (either trash or giveaways). Good to know I'm not alone ! I have some dating back to the mid-70's and indeed, they all represent a chapter from my life. My Mom might still have one from when I was 3 or 4 years old. She said I'd had a nightmare and I drew a picture of the many-eyed creature that haunted my slumber.

Again, thanks for your input!

Sadly, never to be. Would loved to have seen them, Mark.

Nero said it, but in Mark's Case it was the truth-

A great artist dies in him.

Understatement of the day, to be sure. So glad to own a few pieces by him. Sadly, I never got to reciprocate.

He and I traded items more than once. I've got the honor of three of his originals, including one of my prize possessions a portrait he did of Dr. Madd.

Guys, I started a thread for everyone to post pics of the Stamper Originals we have each received from Mark.

Please do post pics of everything you have as a memorial to our friend. It will be nice if Liz and his kids and grandbaby have someplace to go to see examples of his artistry and generosity, and maybe get just a glimpse of the profound impact he had on the members of the UMA.

Well I got inspired by Adam Hughes! I am not of that caliber by any means but I have had his painting of the baroness as my background forever on my Ipad. And I have always meant to try something similar.

The Cobra Baroness!!!
