Well that didn't take long for me to fall off the wagon, eh? So it's almost been a month since I updated my blog posts. Sorry for the delay. This one's going to be kind of short. I didn't really delve into this artist too much so I apologize. I chose Alex Ross weeks ago. When I picked him I asked Kevin if he'd heard of him. Alex Ross is a very well known artist in the comic book and graphic novel community. Kevin immediately said yes. One of his favorite graphic novels is Astro City: Confession. I need to go through Kevin's collection of graphic novels one day. He has a pretty big collection. But getting back to Alex Ross... In what I've read about him, he works in watercolors mostly. Meaning he's a painter first and foremost. He usually does covers and a lot of character design for story lines because that watercolor being the medium he works in, it takes forever. Could you imagine doing an entire comic book with only watercolors. It would take a wicked long time. He is the best in the business though as far as reputation goes. I found it interesting he went to the same art school as his mother, the American Academy of Art in Chicago. Here are some of my favorites that I found that Alex Ross has painted/designed.
