iron man con commission

This drawing was one of the overflow pieces from the NY ComicCon.  I didn't have enough time at the show to complete the piece for Gerry Martelly--so I broke one of my own rules and did it from my studio when I returned. On the good side--Gerry get a better piece that he would have at the show.

This drawing was another of the overflow pieces from the NY ComicCon.

the guardsman

This was an unusual request. Todd Horneck purchased this "Iron Concept of the Month" art from me in NYC--asking me to add backgrounds to the original board.

Silver centurion / mark ii

But the Guardsman  page was not so unusual that it didn't happen again.

Jeff Harnett, Todd's pal, also purchased the Silver Centurion concept art and had me extend the art, as well.

Justice League #4 Variant Recreation

This was a very fun commission for me to work on. Created for Michael Dunne, he asked me to replace the original JLA characters with his favorite Silver Age Avengers. Once I got started, I thought it would be cool to go all the way and replace the cover copy with new blurbs that mentioned the Avengers. All in all--a blast to do and JLA #4 was one of my favorite comics as a kid. BTW: Kudos to the master--Murphy Anderson who did the original JLA cover.

robot monster

John Petty of Dallas, TX now holds the official BobLayton.com record for the silliest request I've ever received for a commission!

What he asked for was an full-cover illustration of Iron Man and Mister Miracle battling Robot Monster, the star of the infamous 1953 film by Phil Tucker!  To tell the truth--I had a blast doing this thing!

Sword of the Atom #1 Variant Recreation

This drawing, inspired by the original illustration by Gil Kane, was commissioned by Morten Lausten of Denmark.

Tales Of Suspense #71 Variant Recreation

This piece was commissioned by my pal Terry Allen of Bonanza Books & Comics in Modesto, CA (shameless plug for Terry!) I altered the original Kirby drawing, making the Titanium Man more to scale size-wise and changed his armor to the standard specs for the character. And , of course, both armors got a coating of "Layton Metal Wax".

Justice Society Double-Page Spread

This whacking huge page was commissioned by Michael Dunne and features several scenes from Golden Age covers of individual JSA members. Obviously, I was somewhat liberal with my interpretations of a few of them.

This one was done for John Schwenk Jr. and features one of my all-time favorite DC characters.

MTV CON SKETCH

This was actually a  con sketch I did for a fellow from MTV at the NYC ComicCon. Although I usually don't run con drawings in my gallery, this one was a favorite of mine--mainly because I'm a huge "Pimp My Ride" and Xzibit fan.
