Artist's Comments

Here's a commission I did a while back. It's of Galactus, "the devourer of worlds" and his herald, the Silver Surfer! This was fun to do because the client asked me to do something interesting. He wanted me to draw them in a style that was a combination of Jack Kirby meets John Buscema! I did my best to merge the two marvel "house" styles of the Silver Age, and I've gotten a lot of positive reaction from this piece. The inking is all brush work, done with a #3 Kolinsky Red Sable Raphael brush. It sure was a joy to do, so I hope you'll enjoy it!

Thanks! Kirby and Buscema are two of my very favorite artists! I'm sure they'd both done far better than I, but I gave it my best shot. :)

Not at all. I may have a high resolution version someplace if you need that? If not, feel free to give it a go! :)

Glad I read the description, I was about to say the piece has a "kirby" feel to it.... very nicely done.

This one was fun to do, but Galactus's costume is a pain to draw! SO many details on that thing! I think I understand why he isn't featured in comics too often. lol.

Thanks! I'm a big fan of Kirby and Buscema's work, so this commission was one of my favorites to do!
