Unmasked Spider-Man (Peter Parker) and Mary Jane Watson by Andrew Robinson

Back in March 2024, Andrew Robinson's commission list opened up via Essential Sequential. While on honeymoon in Japan, I still followed some of my notifications and signed up for a slot. My request was a two figure painting showing the love of Peter and Mary Jane.

I thought that would fit well, considering Andrew's great covers on "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" a few years back. Some of those even featured Mary Jane - a rare thing in today's Spidey comics.

The result is a true piece of art, created on handmade 11x14 paper from Costa Rica, where Andrew used a combination of colored pencil, watercolor, brush, pen and ink and copic markers. An elegant composition, with some great white highlights on Marvel's power couple.
