I just found all 6 pages (and cover) from this project by Alan Moorefield on his Facebook page, complete with lettering. It’s was posted a while back, but still deserves a post.

I picked up one of the originals (a panel page) from this project on eBay, but had no idea how many there were or what the context was at the time. I bought the page mainly because I found the level of detail a bit stunning and, well, after all it was Batman. Truth be told, I was quite lucky to snag the page when I did.

In his gallery post he mentions that this Batman project grew from the opening splash (which is not in my collection) being the most popular page of all his comic artwork, and it’s easy to see why. Continue reading »

Janeane GarofaloOf course you’ve seen this gal. Janeane tries hard, real hard, and that makes her one one those love her or hate her types. She is an actress, a comedian, and an activist.

I can’t believe I almost missed this one and that nobody has thought of this before. As you can see from the photos there is one design already done and ready to ship and another all set to go. The Kickstarter for this has only three days left, so there is still time. Continue reading »

Edge1One day while browsing on eBay, you can imagine my surprise when I recognized a name on some art for sale; that name was Gary Shipman. He had several mixed media illustrations for sale, all made with an interesting style to them. Something he called ‘Outsider Art’.

The reason I recognized the name was because I like to collect original artwork from artists who worked for Silverwolf and Greater Mercury Comics, a small company (and it’s reincarnation) that was around in the late 80’s and into the 90’s. Gary Shipman was the co-creator and artist for one of the major characters at Silverwolf, a character named Edge. And there he was on eBay. Continue reading »
