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.

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.

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.

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?

Great artwork. He does fantastic stuff. I don't quite see Space Ghost like that though.

I have had his Aquaman poster framed and on the wall for years. My kids think it is cool. Art is in the eye of the beholder.
