I love that Tim Miner from 5 Minute Marvels took my complaints about the otherwise awesome Valkyrie’s costume so seriously.  Seriously enough that he sent me a re-design and did a post about it.  Love it!

It also got me thinking that while there are some great elements to Valkyrie’s look, she’s way overdue for a makeover, especially with the breastplate/headlight situation.  What do you say Project:Rooftop?  Can that be the next redesign contest?  I would even get in on that one.

To all my American readers…here’s a “classic” Wonder Woman 5 Minute Marvel sketch I did for Grace’s birthday.  What says “go America” more than stars on the ass of your swimsuit? Happy 4th!

I took some time (five minutes to be exact) to draw with Tim and his lovely girls again for 5 Minute Marvels.  I chose Catwoman, and the girls (and Tim) really outdid themselves…I love how they’re incorporating color…I need to be less afraid of color.

Cate, Grace, and Tim's Catwoman!

Anyway, if you haven’t checked out 5 Minute Marvels yet, you should.  They’re sweeping the internet with tons of great artists from Ross Campbell to Colleen Coover sending in original work for the site, and it’s just a great thing to see kids and parents drawing together…superhero or otherwise (although I’m obviously pre-disposed to superheroes!).  Tim’s site has been really catching on – recently getting featured on Wired and Whitney Matheson’s Pop Candy – not to mention a slew of great comics sites like Robot 6, Comics Alliance, and Kate Beaton’s site – so don’t fall behind – get there before the rush!

My 5 Minute Catwoman!

On Tim’s other site Marvel Smartass he currently has a great interview up right now with Project Rooftop and comics creator extraordinare, Dean Trippe, so check that out while you’re at it.
