Description

I’ve really fallen in love with Marc Bell’s work. Worn Tuff Elbow, Paul and Shrimpy, Stroppy, and still more to come. I saw on his website that he had a kickstarter to fund the latest Worn Tuff Elbow 2, and that nobody had gone after the cover reward. I decided to reach out to Marc on the chance that he had it, and was still willing to part with it. Marc was such a nice guy to work with. He was responsive, and really made sure I had a good experience throughout this whole deal. He even added a silk screen print and a “to Keith” doodle which was really sweet and a great touch. Will attach pic soon

The art is Amazing! Holy crap am I happy to have this cover! This piece is super impressive to look at at just over twice up size. It’s like 13 x 20. Shrimpy and Paul... or their bizarro-selves / respective siblings Blimpy and Saul, are among my very favorite of his characters, and the little yellow servants of Monsieur Mustache are as well. They can be evil little gits! ... and unlike Univeral’s The Minions... these guys actually existed as far back as the late 90s.

If you’ve not read Marc’s work, and you like high-brow art with dirty / twisted humor. This comic is for you. I love it! Psychodoolia is straight up my Alley.

If you’re interested in checking it out Marc still has copies of Worn Tuff Elbow 2 on his website https://marcbelldept.com/, along with prints and some original art. He also sells some of his art through http://www.beguilingbooksandart.com/, and his modern art... which I also like a lot, through a gallery in New York: www.richardhellergallery.com

Thank you Marc, for being so thoughtful, and just cool through this, and for doing you man!

I hadn't read his work until I came across this comic book... now I'm knee deep in reading his previous stuff. IT'S GREAT! My favorite so far is Worn Tuff 2, and Shrimpy and Paul.

He's also a very friendly and communicative guy. The whole experience of working with Marc on getting this piece, and then getting it from Vancouver -> Charlotte was enjoyable.

Nice score. Clearly an under appreciated talent.

Thanks Jeff! completely agree! I think I included how to reach out to Marc in the posting... if you're looking for something of his to read... I highly suggest Shrimpy and Paul.. it's wonderful! And Marc is completely approachable for art. I think i even posted his email address in the description of this piece lol.
