Trying to get back into art is hard. I grew up a comics nerd, drawing superheroes as often as I could find paper and something to draw with. After a brief stint as an art major, I left visual art behind for the remainder of college and a few years after as well. Now I’m trying to wake up the right side of my brain again and make art (comic heroes and otherwise) that I’m happy with. Art featuring established characters whose rights are owned by folks who could buy and sell me is meant as tribute to those characters and in no way is intended for my own commercial use.Tumblr (3.0; @dbennett6684)http://dbennett6684.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/bd0d33a3f72cd580ab6241972c1dab88/tumblr_miw6x0HHGe1rx0wgqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Smoky Jazz</p>http://dbennett6684.tumblr.com/post/44152970589http://dbennett6684.tumblr.com/post/44152970589Wed, 27 Feb 2013 13:48:36 -0500guitarjazz<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7johgTA3H1rx0wgqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Daredevil in the armored costume</p>http://dbennett6684.tumblr.com/post/27743000822http://dbennett6684.tumblr.com/post/27743000822Sun, 22 Jul 2012 00:29:39 -0400daredevilmarvel comicsmarvel<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m740nm6Bzn1rx0wgqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Tribute to Batman #500.
