Description

I�ve enjoyed collecting Steve Mannion�s artwork since I first met him in 2008. What�s so much fun about his work is the variety of eclectic styles he seems to have in his arsenal. He can go from a traditional comic book style one minute to cartoony the next. Then out of nowhere he�s doing something that looks like it came straight out of a 70�s underground book. And just when you think he�s out of tricks, he comes up with something artsy like this Vampirella piece where it looks like he�s channeling his inner Kent Williams.

Some artists draw the same way their whole lives. They learn to do it one way and that�s all they do. No matter what era of their careers you study - the early primitive years, the prime peak years, or the later years when their hands start to betray them - the singular style will always be evident. In other words, they�ll draw the same way until they simply can�t draw anymore. After all, it IS a perishable skill.

Of course there�s absolutely nothing wrong with drawing one way for 30-40 years. Many of my favorite artists have had one style their entire careers. It just makes it all the more impressive that while some artists struggle to maintain the quality of a single style, there are artists like Steve who are able to execute multiple styles not only with ease, but with a high level of quality as well. And THAT is what makes collecting his work so much fun.

Excellent description. Mannion's versatility is extraordinary! Kent Williams, at a fraction of the price, and a bit of Ashley Wood in the washes. Really, quite exceptional!
