This wacky superhero sketchbook drawing was inspired by a childhood friend I knew from the neighborhood I grew up in back east. Eastern Seaboard for those not familiar with the term. The name (Pepperoni Man) fit his persona and the spirit of that neighborhood then. I had a great time growing up and playing in that neighborhood.

Comment by Fiona.q October 31, 2011 @ 2:00 amThank you Fiona! That’s the nicest thing anyone has said to me on this blog and I suppose that’s what I have to give as an artist.
