Original Art Collection #13: Luis Garcia Mozos

This is a Grail Page for me. I grew up reading Heavy Metal magazine and whenever I think of HM today I think of this page, Richard Corben, HR Giger , and Enki Bilal. In that order.
I'm a big fan of Leif Peng's Today's Inspiration which recently ran a great article about Luis Garcia Mozos . In doing a bit of poking around I discovered he was the artist of this page which has always been stuck in my head. A bit more poking around lead me to his Facebook site. Amazingly enough this page, which he drew in 1981 was still available. Let's not even mention that it is page 33, the age I was when I met my wife, or the fact that 3 has always been my favorite number. Let's not even bring that up because that sounds an awful lot like fate to me.
To see a scan of this simply does not do it justice so I will post some detail shots soon.

Protege Page

A newly finished page for a pitch written by Terence Anthony (Orlando's Joint). More to come soon.

Original Art Collection 12: Tony Harris Ultraviolet

One of the newest editions to my collection. I purchased this puppy from Tony Himself at C2E2 this last weekend. A huge two-page spread from the movie Ultraviolet. Now the movie itself couldn't come anywhere near the quality of this drawing but here's a screencap to show you what the final piece looked like.

Original Art Collection 11: Bill Sienkiewicz

Here's a strange little Sienkiewicz sketch I picked up a few years ago. Don't ask me what's going on -- a high-heeled Shakespearean bunny smoking a cigar? A gassy super-villain? Take your best guess.
I'll be at C2E2 this weekend with my good friend Kyle Bice at table I-2. I'll be doing sketches and selling prints, originals, and copies of The Dude Abides and The Roberts.

Original Art Collection 10: Michael Zulli

The Corinthian from Sandman in graphite, ink, marker, and Pepsi (While inking this piece Michael accidentally dipped his brush in his soda instead of his ink cup but liked the results -- so do I).

My Original Art Collection # 7 Danijel Zezelj

This one is a real beauty. I've been on the hunt for an original Zezelj for a while. This is the only piece I've ever seen for sale. Very sculptural in his use of white gouache. If you haven't seen much of his work check out Luna Park from Vertigo or Small Hands.

My original art collection 6 -- Lee Bermejo

A great page from Global Frequency showing off his amazing shading.

Superman Commission

Here's a commission I did for the winner of The Roberts contest. Ink and watercolor final above -- original pencil sketch below.

Original Art Collection 2

Three pages from an unpublished one-shot called "The Punisher: The Cell". Pencils by Lewis LaRosa inks by Tim Bradstreet. Still have to get these puppies framed
