Alternate Spider-Man Mini-Statue for Diamond Select Toys, sculpted by Clayburn Moore

Included above are some of the elements I created for the newspaper machine and the mailbox. The articles on either side of the picture are credited to James Rowell and Clayburn Moore (both of the Associated Press). On the coin return panel, I used the New York area code, the universal prefix for nonexistant phone numbers, and the last four digits of the phone number spell "B U G L". I used the actual labling on real mailboxes for the template but I had to create a 'MAIL' logo from scratch, since no one else can legally use the actual United States Postal Service logos. You'll also find a mock ad for the alternate statue as well as the real ad as it appeared in the June 2004 edition of Previews. I wish I had gone with my instincts and put all the printed elements on the newspaper machine for them. As it is, they Photoshopped the newspaper into the images!

Silver Surfer vs. Thor is a 3-dimentional interpretation of the cover for Silver Surfer #4 (published in 1968, penciled by John Buscema), sculpted by Clayburn Moore.Originally commissioned by a major company (who’s name I’ve elected to leave out), the piece was completed, and then abruptly cancelled.I was asked to make some color adjustments on Thor (originally painted by Paul Moore) and finish out the paint master with the Surfer primarily white, like the comic cover. I tried a non-metallic metal approach (shown above) which ultimately looks good only from one angle.Other finished were tried, but the classic chrome won out.Sadly, this beautiful piece if work was never produced.
