MEET PANABAS

Artist Whilce Portacio asked me to contribute to RENAISSANCE, which features the works of Filipino artists from various visual arts such as comics, videos, film and animation. Talents such as Leinil Yu, Gerry Alanguilan, Philip Tan, and the Luna Brothers are featured. Renaissance is coming from by Anvil Publishing, Inc. and proceeds go to benefit the victims devastated by the flood in the Philippines.

All the original art in this book is going to be auctioned off at EBAY, the profits of which will also go to charity to benefit.
Stay tuned for that announcement.

SO SPACED OUT

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Al Williamson's Flash Gordon: A Lifelong Vision of the Heroic



Although the whole book is very entertaining and informative, the last third of this book truly shines. It showcases Williamson's pen and ink brilliance. Excellent reproduction. I highly recommend any fan of solid pen and ink art to check this out. What is often overlooked is Williamson's compositions and how he achieves depth without any computer tool to assist him. He did it all with thick and thin india ink work. I recall seeing his Flash Gordon originals at Marvel back in 1994. They were oversized originals and only a few artists have the command of the medium so well that the art seemed to be printed right on the paper, as if a human hand was incapable of such masterful lines.
