Panelfan1 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) As collectors - it's always exciting to get your first piece of art by a particular artist. Is there any artist that you hope to get an example from one day? So - I have been on the lookout for a cool painting by Massimo Carnevale for a while now. He was one of the cover artists on Y the last man and Northlanders - but most of his work is on Italian comics. What I love most from him is his paintings. He draws great faces, costumes and more - but I adore his rendering in his paintings. While some pieces are available for sale right now- still have not found the right one for me. Not looking for more than 1 - so I gotta love it. Thought I would start this post as a way to talk about artists whose work we hope to own someday. Doesn't need to be a specific piece. Just the artist. Tell us who they are, what you like about them and show a representative image of their work. As we know many long practicing artists have changed their styles over time - so try and show an image with the qualities you enjoy. So - what artist are you on the look out For?

Panelfan1 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) when I started this thread I was looking forward to more participation. I know that asking for images is asking for a bit of work -but ultimately in art collecting its a visual medium so showing images makes this much more fun. It doesn't need to be a lot of work though- just pick an artist you are interested in, but don't yet have art from and show some images of work they have done (google is easy to use.). Sharing the love for artists and their art seemed like a great thing to do among 'art lovers.' As the post has gotten a lot of views, I think there is interest and as a way to hopefully evoke more sharing - I would like to share another artist I love that I hope to one day pick up a piece of art from. Dave Stevens - he needs no introduction. Super famous. Created the Rocketeer. Everyone loves him. I got to meet him at San Diego back in the 90s. Heck of a guy. My first taste of Dave's work was those 3d comics back in the 1980s - seduction of the innocent and Shana. I was also a huge fan of Johnny Quest -and Dave's cover to #5 has been burned onto my brain. I know I will likely never own any of these -but I love his work. I especially love his luscious inking style. I have the art books and they are sweet. Many folks have pointed out that Dave was influenced by Matt Baker . Baker's brush technique certainly fits the bill. Is there a new Dave Stevens in comics today? If so - who is he/she? here are some of my favorite Stevens Covers. Edited April 3, 2018 by Panelfan1 Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick2you2 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Let me suggest you change the title of this thread. It sounds like you are asking people to identify the artist who did the images you posted (which are terrific). As for me, I've always loved the 19th century political cartoonist, Thomas Nast, but that's in a whole different category: RabidFerret and Twanj 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delekkerste Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 When I look at the (very narrow) list of art that I still really want, but have no other examples of by the artist, there's really only: Parsonavich (Patrick Parsons, aka Chris Parsons) from the Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters series John Romita Sr. (used to have 3 covers, but sold or traded them all) Greenlake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voord Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I'm mostly done with collecting comic-book art as, nowadays, I'm more hip to Movie Poster original paintings. Would love to own a Reynold Brown original painting. Something like this one . . . delekkerste and Rick2you2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) That's terrific. What a great piece. I'd love to have Brown's attack of the 50 ft woman, but who wouldn't? Assuming either one exists of course. Edited April 3, 2018 by Bronty The Voord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodou Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Like Voord, I have to stretch a bit further to get excited these days. Actually I have to go outside comic and illustration art: Artist I have my eye on "today" (tomorrow will be somebody else) and sorry in advance for the OT (just let me know if it's not cool and I'll shut up!)

vodou Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Just thought of another artist that I've been after for so long,so unsuccessfully, that I sort of forgot about him. BAST: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with Sergio Aragones and Kent Burles art among their holdings, has to be decent at heart. It's just I heard of this (punishment bidding) before - and really can't understand the concept.

I was following a lot of titles during the black and white boom and I really enjoyed his quirky art style (so bad that it’s good). And Romita Sr has always been one of my favs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
