• 18" x 24" illustration of a Spider-Man villain donnybrook featuring a modified Sinister Six.  The villains have discovered Spider-Man has escaped their deathtrap and are fighting amongst themselves.  The details are: 

Villains: 

- Dr. Octopus

- Rhino

- Kraven

- Sandman

- Shocker

- Grizzly 

No villain has the distinct advantage; please have the Grizzly holding his own. - please include a depiction of the escaped trap; your choice whether or not to include a small figure of Spider-Man in the background, but have some reference to Spider-Man present. landscape orientation

Really felt like I was channeling Ross Andru on this one. Maybe it's the Grizzly!

Wonderful! I'll admit I am partial to your Spider-Man work, but I don't think my praise is biased. This is a great commission. Congrats all around.

Really like the Dr Octopus arm going through Sandman! It's those kind of touches along with cool backgrounds that make these pieces stand out. Great job JB and congrats to the commissioner.

Need to mention Dr Octopus' claw grabbing you signature oval is just downright genius!

Fun piece!  I like the villain lineup--two Ditko characters, two Romita designs, and a Ross Andru bad guy (although I'm sure there's some possibility that Romita had a hand in designing The Grizzly).
