Art Tools

Hello! Are there any fellow artists out there? Either working on your craft or working professionally? Well, the one thing we all have in common is the search for that perfect tool. For some of us, that ‘perfect tool’ is not just 1 tool, but the one that is steady and reliable each time you get ready to make your mark(s). These are the ones I’ve used over the last 20 years (crap, 20??) and have proven very much worth-while in my exploration of art. I must say though, these are not the end-all-be-all of tools. Find your way.  Art is very much an exploration of the kinds of marks you want to […]

And it’s still happening.  About once every couple of months a metric from somewhere comes out and people start saying the sky is falling….again. The problem is publishers and

Featured Artist – Bill Sienkiewicz

注目のアーティスト - ビル・シエンキウィッツ

By the way, that’s pronounced ‘sinKEVitch’. Just so you know. Bill is an American artist known for his work in comic books—particularly for Marvel Comics’ New Mutants, Moon Knight, and Elektra: Assassin. He is the co-creator of the character David Haller / Legion,the basis for the FX television series Legion. Sienkiewicz’s work in the 1980s was considered revolutionary in mainstream US comics due to his highly stylized art that verged on abstraction and made use of oil painting, photorealism, collage, mimeograph, and other forms generally uncommon in comic books. ‘Revolutionary’ doesn’t really describe how we felt about Bill when he burst onto the scene. ‘Mind-blowing’ was more like it. ‘Astounding!’  What the heck were we looking at? It was amazing and had never-before been seen in
