Art For Art’s Sake #249: One Minute Later Special

Art For Art’s Sake, celebrating all that is wonderful in the world of comics — and sharing them with you — cause we’re that damn nice. Today, it’s One Minute Later…

This week, a special one — looking at the ONE MINUTE LATER theme of commissions. These all started back in 2006 with one art collector coming up with the simple yet wonderful idea to ask artists to recreate a published cover but imagine what it would look like just one minute after what happened on the original cover.

It’s a fun, interesting idea and kudos to Michael for reaching out to artists far and wide to take part!

You can find Michael One Minute Later’s extensive list of commissions at Comic Art Fans. But here are a few favourites to get you interested…
