Tomer Hanuka is an Amazing Artist

Posted on by

Tomer Hanuka created the piece above.  The art, of Rocky Balboa in battle with Apollo Creed as Adrian looks on, appeared recently in The New Yorker accompanying a preview of Rocky on Broadway.

I liked Hanuka’s art a lot and decided to do a search.  I discovered Mr. Hanuka’s website and spent a good amount of time checking out all the art he had on display. Hanuka not only shares his art, but often breaks down his process in creating a piece.

Recently my friends started e-mailing me links to the piece below. Tomer Hanuka created it as a limited edition silk screen print, for Mondo.  The Rambo piece wasn’t at Tomer’s sitewhen I first checked, but it is now.  What a beautiful poster!

Tomer Hanuka is an amazing artist and I look forward to seeing what he does next.

Have You Seen Goran Parlov’s Art?

Posted on by

I have to admit I am really late to the Goran Parlov party.

I was cruising the web and came across the drawing above.  I liked it and decided to do a search for more of Goran’s work.  The sketch below came up next.

Then I remembered that I had seen Goran’s art in the Punisher story “Welcome to the Bayou” written by Victor Gischler (#71-74, 2009).    Why I didn’t follow-up on what Goran did after that story, I’m not sure.  Thankfully it’s not too late.

Mike Torrance and the Demolition Man Cast

Posted on by

Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd is back and he’s brought Sly and the cast of Demolition Man with him!  Mike often surprises me with his commissions.  Sometimes it is an extra character, placing Sly in a role you wouldn’t expect or upgrading a sketch card to include the entire major players.

You can see more of Mike’s art at his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.  I’m ready to order a new batch… perhaps he’ll have a Black Friday sale.  ; )

 

Mills, Burchett, Gonzales, Staton: 3 Kinds of Awesome

Posted on by

Chris Mills currently writes three free weekly webcomics.

Three.

Free.

Weekly Webcomics.

I suppose I should have added, “Awesome!” but you know I wouldn’t be posting about them if they weren’t really good.

Grave Digger is my favorite of the bunch.  Of course Grave Digger is one of my all-time favorite comics [let’s not limit this to just crime comics].  Rick Burchett provides the art and it is perfect.  Mills and Burchett.  ‘Nuff said.

Perils on Planet X is written by Mills with art by Gene Gonzales.  If you’re a fan of Flash Gordon,  John Carter: Warlord of Mars and good comics, you’ll dig Perils on Planet X.  You can take that to the bank.

Femme Noir features the team of Mills [writer] and Joe Staton [artist] taking readers down the dark streets of Port Nocturne to follow the adventures of a mysterious female vigilante.
