Gerhard Art

Bought myself a retirement present:

Traded in my drawing board for a keyboard.

Comin’ up fast.

We’ll be there…

… how can I resist “Fun-Filled Fan Culture”?

 

Featuring a collaboration with Adam Hughes that will be auctioned at the show:

We’ll be at table 18.

The show was a tremendous sucess.

Thank you, to everyone who showed up for my interview/presentation.

And most especially thanks to Stephen Holland at Page 45 for making all this happen.

 

Here’s a time lapse of the print I did for the show:

The Lakes International Comic Art Festival 2023

Friday 29 September to Sunday 1 October

I will be doing an interview/presentation on Saturday at “Comic Book Central”

Followed by a signing session in the “Laundrama”

the wonderful festival bookshop where Stephen Holland will be based!

( To those of you who took exception to me being called “Legendary” in an interview a while ago,

be warned that I’ve now been upgraded to “Genius”.)

Before I started colouring Brent’s LOEG (featured in last week’s post) I decided to ‘limber up’ first.

It had been a while since I coloured anything.

I had had a print made of Josh’s “Pair o’Barians”:

…so I coloured that for fun and practice:

 

Okay… movin’ on!

I received and email from Brent saying that he, “… recently commissioned and received a lovely piece of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen art from John McCrea and would like to get it colored…”

…he sent me a high res scan and said, “…the original pencil and inks are quite large. I’d like to rotate and crop the image to standard 11 x 17 size…”

So with a little fiddling in Photoshop I came up with this:

Then I had it printed out onto 11×17 Strathmore Bristol and hand coloured it:

Okay… what’s next?

 

…here’s how the “Thirty-Three Parables of Christ” turned out:

This was done on Strathmore 400 Bristol which has this watermark in the lower left corner:

I had a little fun and incorporated it into the drawing:

Could be the heretofore unknown parable of the “Thistle Among The Vines”.
