There were times we had wake up after spending the entire
night honing my non-existent craft, straining my eyes to learn from Magazine's
latest comic art tip column from someone filled with infinite anger over my
inability to properly bring the complexity to life.
We are may not have been the first artist to ever draw
Vampirella — that honor belongs to both Tom Sutton and Frank Frazetta who
provided the very first story art and cover in 1969 — but his renderings were
arguably the most visually stunning, and ultimately the most influential over
the years.
Confronted with the fury of the government, which is
cracking down on dissent in the wake of the Arab Spring, the international arts
community has been left to grapple with the terrifying Frazetta fact that Ai,
an artist who is one of ours a global art brand, a star of the international
exhibition circuit who has at times taken the role of fashionable trickster can
quite simply disappear.
The final chapter is a lengthy gallery section featuring the
unpublished artwork I was lucky enough to find from private collections across
Europe and America; it includes many of the best commissions he drew for
collectors and the cream of his astonishing fine art drawings taken from his
three solo exhibitions.
When you get down to it, we think if you asked any comic
artist - not just the ones I talked to - you would find that they work in
comics not for any Frazetta perceived fame, fortune
or glamour (if those things exist in comics), but because it's what they want
to do and what they feel compelled to do. For more information, please visit
