Beautiful colours. The contrast between the thick marker lines on the forground branches and the faint, delicate lines on trunks in the background is really effective.

This is lovely. I get a Japanese woodblock print vibe from the background and the foreground is very intimate in Swamp Thing's natural setting. Amazing piece!

This one was truly Born on the Bayou!  Congratulations to you Brother Rick on this terrific illustration by John Totleben with wonderfully moody colors by Steve Oliff!

Beautiful piece taking us back to nature with a peaceful image of the undisturbed Swamp Thing living in harmony.  The free hand crafted style contributes further to the theme!

Another splendid Totleben Swamp Thing, Rick, with a really strong sense of place and environment - stressing the fact that Swampy seamlessly fits -among- it all (rather than standing apart from it).  The wonderfully soft touch on those beautiful, deep, subtle colors by Steve really sells the notion, too, and I enjoy knowing the timeline of the evolution of the piece (thanks to the signatures) that the original commissioner (I'm assuming) added the colors the following year, like a single character jam piece...  Wonderful, Rick!  Congrats again!

Beautifully captured, quiet and serene.  Love the color choices, especially for the BG tones.
