Definitely a uniquely cool profile shot of the original symbiote baddie. I can see why you exclaimed after the confirmation e-mail :) Love the teeth surrounding the face, but I think what stood out to me most, was really digging how the area around Eddie's eyes is blacked in, vs the large white symbiote lenses. Cool stuff, Tyler. Congrats!
Thanks KG and fantastic point, there is such a large contrast. Those eyes are black holes.
Big congrats, Tyler! Couldn't go wrong with any of the options but you chose a great one.
That's a Venom that will haunt your dreams!
A standout piece among a drop full of standout art. Congrats!
My favorite one from the drop. Congrats.
This is frightening even by Venon standards. Congrats on landing the best piece from the drop!
Super cool! This definitely stuck out from the latest drop.
It's wall power that's much bigger that what we can see scanned and shown. It's true power though comes from the way Bertram made Eddie's head coming out in relation to the rest of the massive power and size of the Symboite.
So true, Eddie's head really helps in defining proportion of the symbiote, and this is quite large in person. The actual size of the drawing is as big as my head, and I have a big fat head! I pulled the tape and drawing size measures around 13"x16".
This was also my fav' of the bunch. Good pick.
Now that's a truly frightening image of Venom! Gives me the shivers!
Incredible piece by Bertram and as others have mentioned - a standout in the recent drop. I love that he went as far as to make Eddie's face busted up and batlle-damaged as well. To me this means the image occurs right as he's summoning the symbiote to save his bacon. Great story-telling for a profile shot and nothing short of what you would expect from Ian.
I keep looking at that gash on the bridge of his nose.
Congrats!!
I love Bertram as well. If this is an example of the future for him, I am very excited. The alien nature of this is clearly his focus as it literally dwarfs Eddies humanity as he peaks out from the void; is the monster within or without? Existential dread rendered in beautiful black ink. I missed the drop but this is what I wouldve gone for too. Congrats!
Thank you Justin, with you all the way!
Nothing like getting that confirmation email from Felix after a competitive drop. I loved this series as well and got one of the Jokers. Giant congrats on getting your favourite, I think a few peeps were after this one!
You know there really isn't. The days when the email doesn't come are a different story though, you're just left refreshing that inbox into the void! Congrats on the Joker pick up, I liked the one with the really long cut. Felt lucky on this, a couple of seconds and could have easily gone the other way. Thanks Reba!
Beautiful! Huge congrats on this!
We obviously shouldn't compare art as much as we do - especially when we're talking about an artist that only creates masterpieces - but I have to say that this was my personal favorite among the recent Bertram works that came available recently. You have a special portrayal of Venom here from someone that will go down as a generational talent. Congratulations.
That is probably a good practice, but when they are all good ones it is very hard not to. Thanks Kevin, I am so happy to own this piece.
This was easily the best piece from the Bertram Drop, congrats on such a wonderful addition to your collection.
