HALF PRICE ORIGINAL ART SALE!!! Here's a special offer I'm going to run through this weekend: 1/2 off the price on artwork from my comic art and illustration art pages! This does NOT include trading card art or the complete Gotham Adventures #31(the only Batman issue fully pencilled and inked by me). Also, the Wild Dog art listed without prices at the bottom of the comic art page are excluded -- but I'll consider offers on that whole batch! Minimum purchase to get this deal: $200.00 (as in, you get $400.00 worth of pages/paintings for $200.00) -- but you're free to spend/buy more than that if you'd like (hint, hint!)

I'm close to finished with the art for my contribution to the first issue of BELA LUGOSI's TALES FROM THE GRAVE -- and am enjoying inking both Rick Veitch and long-time favorite Ramona Fradon (AQUAMAN, METAMORPHO, BRENDA STARR) on UNEMPLOYED MAN, a political satire graphic novel.

1/07/10: After sitting dormant and out-of-date for several years, I have access to this website again, and am in the process of updating it. The email address that had been used here has been dead for some time. If you contacted me via this page before this January, I did not ignore your message – I never got it. Contact links are now updated -- please email me if you have any questions.
Please note – this issue of COMIC BOOK ARTIST BULLPEN devoted to Terry's life and career (listed here as available for far too long) was never published! It's a shame, as it was a good interview and featured lots of previously unseen art and photos – now too outdated to see print. If I can find the mock-up copy I have (buried somewhere in storage) I may post the thing on-line -- dated or not. If you ordered a copy, you should contact the publisher for a refund. Click on the pic for info.
RECENTLY PUBLISHED: URBAN LEGENDS and SHOCK STORIES trading cards by Monsterwax. Terry drew each of these fifty card sets, painted the wrapper illustrations, and drew (with the help of MCAD intern, Hannah Blumenreich) dozens of sketchcards. In addition to the standard sets, there is also a chase set of 3D versions of the SHOCK STORIES! See the monsterwax site for more info. Original art from the series is available directly from Terry -- email link at bottom of this page. See my trading card page for scans of the originals for two of my favorite (grisly!) cards as well as their printed versions. The cards were recently featured as the cover story for the long-running trading card collectors' zine, Non-Sport Update.
COMING SOON: Terry has signed on to draw a story for Bela Lugosi's TALES FROM THE GRAVE from Monsterverse. The creepy little tale is written by Martin Powell
