January 30, 2013 2:57 pm That's really cool. I dig it. Wish I lived closer to take it in. Reminds me of something I did a few years ago. I had a gallery show and took each piece as a representation of an activity during one night of my main character's life. It was called the Heavy Show. Check it out if you're interested. It was epic. http://brattyben.deviantart.com/gallery/28017788
January 26, 2013 11:17 am I was always wondering where that "Batman slapping Robin" meme was from. I'm firmly certain that that panel follows the page shown from 411 here. I could be wrong, but, I just know I started chuckling.
January 13, 2013 9:56 am The Alex Ross Star Wars cover threw me for a loop. I could have sworn that it was made by the Hildebrandts. The cover that owns tho is that Turtles cover. Just effin' Grampa goodness!!!
January 9, 2013 9:13 pm Awesome. His Punisher looks like an old, lean Val Kilmer. Cool work.
January 8, 2013 2:16 pm If you follow Simonson on Facebook, he uploads crazy awesome works in progress and penciled pages. I wasn't sure what they were for, but..I do now!
December 11, 2012 12:16 pm To answer your Stumptown question, yes, that deer in the 'P' is a Portland thing. It emblazes a huge neon sign that advertised the "Made in Oregon" store that used to be there. It's a historical landmark. It hangs over the Burnside Bridge as you make your way downtown. For December they stick a red light on the nose. Cute. http://www.yourroadmaptohome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/A-MADE-IN-OREGON-B.gif
December 6, 2012 3:32 pm Yeah, I'm definitely diggin' this guy's art. Has a Quietly and Darrow feel to it. Awesome.
November 27, 2012 1:05 pm I hear what you're saying about Stan not saying anything about other contributors, but, to be fair, it seemed in the interview there wasn't much of a chance for him to talk about the actual creation of the characters. I mean, the first question was how he would respond to questions about his profession at a cocktail party. On the other hand, I completely understand where you're coming from in terms of Jack and Steve still getting the shaft, so to speak. Nice find, btw. :)
November 13, 2012 8:04 pm I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I think Hoskins would have nailed Wolverine. He's a versatile actor and given his age, it would have seemed appropriate for him to play Logan. I was a fan of the Danzig rumor, based purely on aesthetics alone. I don't know how he would have handled the acting bits. That bit about Basset being Storm is what I kept thinking to myself throughout the X-Men franchise. She just seems more regal to me, and looks more like Storm.
November 13, 2012 7:18 pm It feels like he's channeling a bit of Simon Bisley and I'm completely okay with that. Good stuffs.
