Howard the Duck by Paul Smith

Awesome! Great pickup! 

Wow, wow, wow!  My favorite PMS that I've seen in a long while.  Can't believe I missed this from Malcolm.  That's what I get for getting to CAF LIve late.  Would have snatched this up in a second. This is just brilliant!  Major congrats!

Damn, I never saw Malcolm post this one. It's absolutely top notch Paul Smith work and although he isn't necessarily known as a Good Girl Art artist, that is one seriously nice example of it right there! Great pickup, Michael! I love CAF CON, I've picked up something for my collection at every single event so far!

Fantastic Paul Smith! Fantastic HTD! I need both in my collection - will have to remedy these holes. Congrats - this is GREAT! Thanks for sharing!

Well, that's just an awesome Howard and Beverly. Congrats, Michael!

love the creativity here in the subject matter and the artwork as well. a gem. nice pickup!!

Really fun seeing Paul's take on something so irreverent. Congrats!

There has to be SUCH a great story to explain what we are looking at here with this beautifully drawn (and rather saucy) image.   I guess we, as the viewers, get to make up our own.   Fun!! 

This is great and a very fun piece.

Sexy and fun, but so classy as well: one of my favorite pieces in your Gallery!

Utterly fantastic. Paul Smith is one of those supremely versatile talents who is both a top-notch superhero artist and a brilliant cartoonist.

Just terrific! Paul nailed it.

Wow!!! Sooo good! Awesome Paul Smith Piece bud!

That is quite a piece. Lots of stuff in the details. I love the oddity of it all. Super cool.

Like the legend of the Lucas, huh
Paul M Smith duck drawings
What keeps the Duckworld spinning, ah
The force from the Beverly, hm, love

We've barbarian
To get the Smitty art
So let's raise the bar
And Howard to the stars

She's up all night 'til the sun
Duck's all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get Ducky

We're up all night in Cleveland
We're up all night commission
We're up all night read good run
We're up all night to get Ducky

I like to think that if Daft Punk had used these lyrics, maybe they would still be together.

Lot of fun details - is that an ipod?

Either an iPod or a very early iPhone.  I like to think that this was an Apple marketing poster on Earth-616, with Howard threatening anyone who wants to take Bev's iPhone.  

Awesome modern (2010) medieval period piece! Love the smart phone with the wired ear phones, the milkshake, pizza box, etc. in the dungeon-like love chamber with the battle axe and other whimsical nonsense. Such a fun piece!

Howard the barbarian!

That's a fun one and it's certainly gorgeous.

Awesome commission piece!  Somewhat reminds me of Princess Leia when she is held captive by Jabba the Hutt

Gorgeous Smith piece, Michael!  And it's a little naughty (but pretty classy about it, too)!  Terrific composition, great details, excellent backgrounds, and beautiful figure work...  An all-around winner and a terrific CAF Live pick up!  Great eye (as usual), Michael, and it was definitely a good thing that you were quick on the trigger for this one! :) Great add to your gallery, sir!

Thanks, Jason!  I clearly lucked out with this one.  I wasn't planning on buying anything during the last Comic Art Live, but that went out the window in the opening minutes when I saw this.  I'm glad I didn't hesitate since based on some of the comments here, it wouldn't have been available for much longer.

This is so fantastic.  I'm jealous.  Congrats on a great pickup

Fabulous Howard! Paul Smith's work is amazing! Congrats!

Those perfect ink lines!!!!

Great piece, love it! Congrats!

I remember seeing this on Smitty's website years ago.   What a remarkable piece.  The wealth of detail is just amazing.   You can tell that PMS has a real affinity for Howard the Duck.  Congratulations!

Thanks!  Howard the Duck #32 with PMS on art was one of the first comics that I read as a kid, so it was cool to see that he revisited the character with this piece decades later.

Sheer delight.  Move over Conan, Death Dealer!

If only Frazetta had done a Howard the Duck painting!

This is outstanding!! Congrats! 

Paul Smith is one of my favorite artists, now I can't stop thinking that I need one like this. Congrats.

The lady chose me, Conan. Quack. Ha, this is an awesome piece by Smith. This commission is definitely cover quality. Howard never looked so good, give that man a martini. Congrats!

Thanks!  I think the only thing that could have made this better would have been a martini in Howard's left hand.

Congrats! Such a nice piece.

Sockamagee!

Dunno how I missed this one. Further proving there's absolutely nothing Paul Smith can't absultely slay. Congrats!

The best duck there is, congrats !

What a great commission - congrats.

Whatta amazing PMS Howard & Beverly, you simply can't go wrong with bondage, battle axes, iPhones & pizza, congrats!!
