  1. Posted over on CAF, but very interesting piece! The close crop and lighting, not to mention what is able to be made out of the expression in the shape of the eye, yields a great bit of unsolvable mystery to the piece. In turns fascinating (skillset) and terrifying (impact of the image).

     

    I can only imagine what it looks like hanging on a wall, in a frame. Must be an effect almost like a window, with a giant outside peering in your home? :)

  2. It would have been nice if World War Z had been in any conceivable way, related to the book World War Z rather than the by-the-numbers action movie they made it into.

     

    It was fine for a formulaic Hollywood film that brought nothing new and has no bearing on the supposed "source material" other than it contains Zombies. But the only way they ever could have made that book into other media would have been as a long form TV series.

     

    Afraid Walking Dead beat them to the punch on that score (though the WWZ book is so much better, and has such a massive scope WD has never been able to touch). Anyhow... carry on.

  3. Seems to me this is a clear cut a case of valuation as "nostalgia trophy". The intrinsic value of this piece as art is clearly on the low side , based on minimal original involvement. Whether someone pays $10K or $50K.

     

    ....or you could get the Capullo Batman cover, right? ;)

     

     

    As far as stats in this context counting as artistic collage.... that's got to be a whole other thread right there.

  4. Hahahaha. Man, I remember calling Wildstorm and buying Preacher pages by the stack. Compared to a lot of other comparable art from other series selling at the time for $100-200 a page, the Preacher stuff almost felt like stealing. Hell, I think I paid Mark Wheatley more for some of his color pages than I paid for an early Jessie half splash from WS. Definitely more than I paid for the 3 consecutive pages of Cass confessing at the bar. Can't remember the issue number, but I swear those were like $30 or $40 per. Anyway....

  5. Saw this article about the Swamp Thing film rights, and how it impacts characters created from the comics, including the Constantine show & potential film appearances. DC regularly gets held up as the more creator friendly Company, and Marvel usually held up as the company that bent over its artists, but here's one of those more modern cases, where I think DC hosed itself as well as any future creatives. Yeesh.
