Commission Prelim from Norm Breyfogle!

I got a really cool email earlier this week with a prelim for my commission from Norm Breyfogle. Norm was the artist on Batman when I really got hooked on comics and was really paying attention to the art and specific artists on comic books. Norm's style has been a favorite of mine ever since I saw his work. His style caught me as edgy and dynamic. Last year I contacted Mr. Breyfogle about a commission. It is taking slightly longer than planned, but he has been more than professional by keeping me updated and quickly answering my questions and responding to emails. That seems rare these days, and I commend him for doing a great job so far.

I had several ideas for a commission. This is one of the more expensive commissions I have purchased, so i wanted it to be really cool (not that it wouldn't be, it is being drawn by Norm Breyfogle). I decided on having Robin (Tim Drake) coming to the rescue of Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark) as she is being attacked by Deathstroke. I asked for him to do a slight alteration to try and show more of a frontal view of Wonder Girl, but I ended up going with the original. I should have trusted Norm's skill and talent with what he came up with. I am really excited about this. A commission with some of my fave characters drawn by one of my favorite artists. I'll post the final piece once I have it.

Buy this comic! Incredible Hercules!

I picked up a random stack of comics a couple weeks back, including Incredible Hercules issue 121. I had heard good things about it. I read it this morning and LOVED it. I am headed to the shop to get issues 112-120. It is written by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente and pencilled and inked by Clayton Henry, who is an incredible talent. The colors are by GURU-EFX. I think everyone should check this out.

Awesome Art Day!

Today I recieved 2 INCREDIBLE pieces of art from Barry Kitson: the covers to Titans issues 37 and 39. Barry is one of my favorite artists, and I have always loved all things related to the Titans.
