Flint, that is just beautiful. You are a lucky man indeed.

Flint, that is just beautiful. You are a lucky man indeed.

I know. extremely lucky. I'd rather have my buddy back though. A shame. but, fuck it! It's an Ian Gibson original!

Woohoo!

[blackmocco]

That's a beauty, Flint. Absolutely fantastic. Loved Gibson's work through this phase of Robo-Hunter. He'd really refined it by then. Dunno if anyone drew hotter girls in 2000ad...

...Jesus Redondo maybe?

I'm still trying to get my head round the awesomeness of those O'neill pages - you're one lucky cat.

I went to a guy's house a while back - he was auditioning to play bass in our band, which didn't happen, but he did have a page of Fabry Slaine on his wall. He nearly got in just on the basis of that alone.

Love those O'neill pages !!!!

Yeah, Redondo drew some hot girls as well, that's true. Very underrated artist, I always thought. Don't know if his style was a bit too classic for 2000ad but I always really enjoyed his take on Nemesis. And he made Purity hot too...

David Roach produced some fine lady art.

Just received this Defoe commission from Leigh Gallagher - A4 sheet. Very pleased with it. If you are not aware he's got an offer on commissions going on his blog site :-

And a reminder that he is selling off batches of original art including an unused Defoe trade cover, prog 1709 cover, Seraph designs and the cover for Zarjaz #10:

Oh and for posterity, the commissions link is:

The first round is here with Marble's damn fine Defoe and a worryingly good gallery of Batvillains (no stealing him America!!!):

I've probably said it before, but I didn't appreciate Redondo's art much as a kid (the usual situation of being in awe of some of his contemporaries, rather than not actually liking his work).  I can't praise his work highly enough these days... a fabulous, underrated artist.  I'm lucky enough to have a couple of original pages (one Future Shock, one Return to Armageddon) and although they're not 'high end' pieces, I love 'em to bits.

Is there any word on a reprint for Return to Armageddon?

[Colin YNWA]

Yeah I'm a big fan of Redondo, very under rated artist. As for 'Return to Armageddon' aside from some reprints that surely has to be the most asked for reprint volume. Its slowly heading towards the top of my re-read list, all the talk about it is really making me look forward too it.

This works really well as a stand alone page imo...
