Master Artist: John Buscema

I often get asked who my favorite artists are.

So I decided to make these short videos showing you books I actually read as a kid that made me a fan and inspired me to become an artist.

First up is John Buscema, one of the main architects of the Marvel universe.

Burning old art.

While prepping and sorting out original art for the exhibition, I uncovered many bad sketches and abandoned art.

Decided to burn them… It’s very liberating.

Wow. I wasn't expecting this news when I woke up.

I always thought of Robert Redford as one of the last movie idols of a bygone era who bridged the gap between the old Hollywood studio system and modern cinema.

Thank you for all your movies and rest in peace, Robert Redford.

Swamp Thing Vs Batman.

I did this art commission for Michael Finn's , for "One Minute Later" collection. This was my nod to the original Swamp Thing #7 cover where Swamp Thing battles Batman.

Nice to see Comic Creator magazine use it for their Len Wein tribute issue, co-creator of Swamp Thing.

Victorian Woman, ballpoint pen drawing.

Messing around with the new ballpoint pens. Testing the tonal quality and smoothness of the ink.

I was shooting for Irene Adler from Sherlock Holmes, but ended up more Anne of Green Gables instead. 😃
