The Magic Photorealism Of Alex Ross

M. D. Jackson said...: His art is amazing. I read a huge book about his art and his technique and he has a unique, painterly, old masters-type approach that employs Guache, which is kind of like a watercolour. Amazing stuff.; March 9, 2011 at 4:36 PM
Kal said...: I read that work. I am a huge fan of Ross'. Have you ever read the SPECTRUM books? They show the years best in contemporary fantastic art. I just got issues 5,6,9, and 17 which is huge. You need to check them out at your library if not.; March 9, 2011 at 5:26 PM
M. D. Jackson said...: I'd dearly love to get my hands on those (or have my art featured in them!). I've been nagging my local library to get them in but so far no dice.; March 9, 2011 at 8:13 PM
Kal said...: Looking through my well work copies of earlier issues and my newer paperback volumes I can say without a doubt that much of your stuff is definately SPECTRUM worthy. They have to have some admission policy. Hell, my header alone deserves to be an award winner. Not a day goes by that I don't look at that piece and smile. I need to figure out a way to get that large and framed. I only have the digital version and a color copy of that and 12x18 size. Any advice?; March 9, 2011 at 8:37 PM
DrGoat said...: Great artwork. He does fantastic stuff. I don't quite see Space Ghost like that though.; March 10, 2011 at 6:56 AM
