Art For Art’s Sake # 171 – Oh, The Art Looks Grand From Here

by Richard Bruton

Art For Art’s Sake – it’s a fine, fine day out in the world [said no-one right now]. But you know what? At least there’s always some bloody lovely comic art out there in the world to make your day just that little bit better.

Jose Luis Garcia Lopez (Via David Roach):

I saw this last night and just had to share it- Jose Luis Garcia Lopez re-imagines Archie and chums for what was, I think a Convention poster. Jose’s sense of movement is just fantastic.

Dan White… a lil’ Nemesis and lil’ Torquemada…

Steve Bissette:

“John Jennings and I (with another of John’s circle of creative partners) have been cooking up something together. Not sure when or how it’s all gonna break out, but it will, and when it does, you’ll recognize the roots of what we’re hoping to do in some of these collaborative improvisations John has been sharing of late on his own social media.”

Well yes, it’s a Constantine…

First the Bissette version, then with added colours from John Jennings…

Patrick Goddard ABC commission –

John Watson –

X-Men portfolio piece from way back, probably 2002! Oil on canvas board. This is the best image I have of the art (long sold), from a photo (pre-digital days). The couch is terribly dated, but well rendered!
