SCARLET by Alex Maleev

Artist:   Alex Maleev
Subject: Scarlet
Date: August 29, 2010
Location: Fan Expo Canada, MTCC North Building, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Note(s): Alex is one of my favourite artists.  He is is also one of my favouite people in comics.  I was blown away by this piece.  The scan does not do it justice.

I accidentally scanned it in black & white and WOW! 

Death And Delirium 004 – The Endless on Abbey Road

 

The Endless on Abbey Road - Destruction, Delirium, Death and Dream

The Death and Delirium Collection

Artist:   Tom Fowler
Subject: Sandman’s The Endless – Destruction, Delirium, Death and Dream with Mervyn Pumpkinhead 
Date: March 3, 2010
Location: Ottawa, Ontario

Note(s): After Tom went above and beyond in his first commission piece I just had to get a second one.  Took me awhile to come up with a suitable subject for him but it all fell into place once I saw this Destruction piece. 

Death, Delirium and the iconic Abbey Road image were my only instructions.  And as always, Tom doesn’t disappoint with adding his little humourous touches (check out Mervyn) that I wasn’t expecting.

Batman and Robin #1 – Frank Quitely In The Raw, Part One

I found these images tonight while cleaning out my computer files in advance of the newly purchased laptop’s arrival.

Mitch Itkowitz, of  Graphic Collectibles, is Frank Quitely’s original art rep.  He posted these amazing original pencils of the complete issue of BATMAN AND ROBIN #1 for sale about a 10 months ago.  (No inks as the book was digitally inked and coloured straight from the pencils.)

I would so totally buy Quitely’s BAR in B&W.
