We never talk any more

I did this last time it was around but can't find it to link it, so.

The problem with LJ: We all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Who is your favorite artist?

[kingandy]

I am big on JH Williams III, because he knows a lot about composition and framing. A comic book page isn't simply a string of panels with him, it's a piece of art in and of itself. Plus he can do a lot of different styles.

I'm very fond of Tom Grummett, because he has a very clear style that encapsulates, in my mind, the best things about traditional superhero art. It helps that he drew a number of my favourite books for some time.

I do like Doug Mahnke, because there's so much detail in his work. Even the cartoon-character visuals of The Mask look solid and convincing.

Favourite, though? Somebody I like enough to make me consider buying something on the strength of the art alone? Err. In the past I may have said Dan Jurgens or Chuck Wojtkiewicz, or Mike Weiringo, but I'm basically fickle.

Alex Ross is always a good draw, though, because painted superheroes remain a novelty.

So, yeah, in summary .... beats me.
