Description

At Heroes Con 2025 we stopped by Sean Carlson’s booth. While flipping through his portfolio, saw a pencil drawing of Nova - one of my favorite Marvel characters and my favorite version of the character. Loved it and had to have it (see additional image).

Flipping through the portfolio saw a color print of the same figure and asked if the drawing was a prelim for a painting - it was and he still had it, but not at the show. There was a photo of it on his Instagram (seancarlsonart) - I said I’d follow up after the show to ask about it purchasing it.

I did it follow up and asked to buy it. Even better, Sean was going to be passing through the town where I live on the way to another convention and he generously agreed to drop it off in person. (If you haven’t met him, stop by his booth at a con - one of the nicest people I’ve met at a con.)

Hard to capture the colors accurately in a photo (took photos in 3 different apps and every one changes the color slightly - more purple, more pink, less gloss, etc.).

14x18, acrylics on canvas board

That's just wonderful!  The cosmic rays of colors and white glow really emphasize the heroic look from the origins of the sci-fi genre.

Great Nova piece and can't beat that kind of customer service! The colors look good in your photo.

Thanks! I added a second image with a different light source just to try to capture them (and the texture) better. :) Almost my entire collection is just pencil & ink, never thought about the challenge of accurately capturing the look with color.
