So Super Duper #12: Superheroes With iPhones
Here's my pin-up for Brian Andersen's So Super Duper #12, which happens to be the series' final issue and will be coming out soon. It's Comet on Superheroes With iPhones! His username must undoubtedly be comets_tail. Thanks to Brian for making me a part of the final issue of his great, positive, and fun series. This pin-up also marks an evolution in my illustration style. The desire to change the way I ink was nagging at me. I needed something more faithful to my pencils and, with this piece, I finally achieved it. So Super Duper #12: Comet on Superheroes With iPhones

Batman, Batgirl, and Robin: The Terrific Trio
Available as prints in various sizes and formats, poster, postcard, card: http://www.redbubble.com/people/raycaspio/art/6507277-1-the-terrific-trio Available as a t-shirt (men, women, children, babies): http://www.redbubble.com/people/raycaspio/t-shirts/6507293-1-the-terrific-trio My last illustration of 2010 is something that's been in my sketchbook for awhile: Batman, Batgirl, and Robin: The Terrific Trio. It's based on the 1960's Batman television series, which I happen to love. I don't really care for Batman in the comics, but in a live action or animated (most of the time) format, I'm fine with him. Originally, the illustration was going to be Batman (Adam West). Then it was going to be Batman and Robin (Burt Ward). Then, I had to include my favorite: Batgirl (Yvonne Craig), in one of my most favorite superhero costumes ever. Maybe at some point down the line, I'll draw some of my favorite villains: Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt as Catwoman, Ethel Merman as Lola Lasagna, Vincent Price as Egghead, and Tallulah Bankhead as Black Widow.

After a lot of starts and stops, here's the illustration! Batman, Batgirl, and Robin: The Terrific Trio

Who Killed Teddy Bear
PRINTS AVAILABLE AT REDBUBBLE: http://www.redbubble.com/people/raycaspio/art/6257906-1-who-killed-teddy-bear Thanks to Doug Prinzivalli over at Dougsploitation, Who Killed Teddy Bear has become one of my favorite films. It was because of his blog post last year that I sought out the 1965 movie and discovered Sal Mineo. Read Doug's review of the film because he summed it up perfectly. This movie is creepy, insanely sexy, and daring. Besides Sal Mineo, it also stars Juliet Prowse and the great Elaine Stritch (currently playing Madame Armfeldt in the revival of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music on Broadway). I wanted to take a crack at designing a poster for the film; something that captured what I took away from it. Here's my design. Who Killed Teddy Bear

Samantha. Snap. Ting!
Available as prints, posters, greeting cards, and postcards: http://www.redbubble.com/people/raycaspio/art/6251745-3-samantha-snap-ting Mortal Samantha available as a t-shirt: http://www.redbubble.com/people/raycaspio/t-shirts/6251947-1-samantha-snap Witch Samantha available as a t-shirt: http://www.redbubble.com/people/raycaspio/t-shirts/6251965-1-samantha-ting Samantha. Snap. Ting! Samantha. Snap. Ting! Samantha. Snap. Ting! Bewitched is the first television show I remember watching. It was at my grandma's house. I sat in front of the tiny TV in her front room and became mesmerized by the animated opening sequence (which has been a huge influence on my illustration style). Then, Samantha's magic started - with sound effects! - and I fell in love. The twitch became an obsession. Elizabeth Montgomery and Samantha Stephens are two more women who have had a huge impact on my life. I was never completely happy with the Samantha illustrations I completed a couple years ago, and the time was right to revisit how much Bewitched means to me.
