World Art - by Craig Hill



Stan Lee Tribute Artwork

January 21st 2008 09:22
Crazy tribute to the Fantastic Four!
Showing at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles, a collection of Marvel comics-related artwork, homages to a culture that has influenced our pop memories.

It's fantastic... these artists have spent their time studying and learning the masters, staring at Impressionistic masterpieces and Renaissance works. It'd be easy to pretend that the reason that you became an artist is because of Da Vinci - but sometimes the truth hurts.

You became an artist because of Frank Miller or Stan Lee, didn't you?

Well, Stan, the artists have gotten together to give you a little present.

I tried my hand at drawing comic book figures once. I'd copy their images from the collectible cards, since they were always well-posed. I drew many of them, but I abhorred drawing the female heroes.

Why?

Well, I could never get the proportions down, and they'd look awful. It killed me to see the female form so horribly demented, and I just couldn't do it. Naturally, I drew loads of Wolverine, since his razor-sharp adamantium claws were so ultra-cool. I still have dreams where I have them.

Stan-ley,

I'm very respectful of women, especially in the comic medium. Of course, I'm incredibly successful with women in the comic medium, too. In real life, not so much...
