 Jim asked Sandy about the above artwork Sandy: This is one of several commissioned drawings I did for a collector here in Athens, Jeromy Holland. He's one of those comic fans, born into the end of the Silver Age, who still holds an abiding love for the super heroes of the 40's. Every so often he's have me do another character from that era, some that have continued to thrive and others who are just a nostalgic memory. He later took my pencil drawing of the Green Lantern and had another artist digitally ink and color it. Other art Sandy found in his files which relates to this post:  Lady Liberty — another Golden Age figure for Jeromy  Mary Marvel — member of the might Marvel Family created by C.C. Beck  A Spider-Man commission from around the same time  Jim asked Sandy about the above drawing
Sandy: Another romantically inspired drawing (as was the previous Clea piece.) This is based on a sketch I did for a girlfriend a loooong time ago. I drew upon it when, years later, I was asked to do a "jungle girl" pin-up (for an issue of "Jungle Girl" comics, was it?) Took the sketch and turned into a finished pencil piece. How this primal fantasy still smolders in the hearts of modern day fans!  Jim asked Sandy about the above drawing
Sandy: John Gutenkanst of Avalanche Pizza used to help the local food pantries stock their larders when they ran low, encouraging people to drop off canned food at his store as donations. He asked if I would contribute an illustration for an ad he was taking out in the Athens News to draw attention to the drive. This was the result. |
