Silver Surfer Black and Galactus Commission

I bought some art today
The Silver Surfer feel
The wallet feels the pain
I took Galactus' deal

Ski boarding fears you told
Tyrell's familiar inks
Gonna paint it black for Saint
But I will herald anything

What have I become?
Galactus' friend
Every piece I own goes to pay
Planet's end

And Cannon draws to cause
My desire to surf
Never let you down
This commission works

Oh does the wallet feel the pain lol. How could I have ever passed this up though. Worth every penny.

As usual, your joy and zest for life shines through in your descriptions, Ian! Great anecdote of your snowboarding years and that connection tothe Silver Surfer. This is a really cool commission indeed, congrats!

I can almost envision the feeling of surfing on the stars as powder gives you a feeling of slight weightlessness. You stop you sink, but get the right speed you just float on top of it.

Very cool commission, still bummed out I didn't start collecting until AFTER SSB.  Also, cool that you were into snowboarding!  I wish I had grown up somewhere where I could have done stuff like that.  I might have caught a foot or two of air on my bike when I was a kid, lol.

Don't feel bad. I didn't start collecting till after it either. It is difficult finding good artwork, but it is still out there to be had for the right price. I always wished I were abe to grab a Tradd piece, but I think that went out the door lol. 

Impressive commission, congrats!

Thanks for sharing the additional pic of you using your superpower!

Sadly a super power I lost with three surgeries over 5 years and 1.5 years of physical therapy. I did the trick again just to say I could do it after the injury, but decided it might not be smart to keep trying my luck lol. Let me tell you though there is few feelings in the world like flipping off a cliff at the top of a mountain. You feel like you are jumping off a thousand foot cliff. All you see as you take the leap of faith is the basin well below you. You don't spot your landing until you are upside down looking at what feels like a two to three story building landing below you. Ya, I had a true passion for it in my youth. Sadly due to family dynamics, I haven't been up in years. However, you can still find me skateboarding on a weekly basis with my kids.

Done very well!

I agree in total and am so enjoying looking at this piece.

Man I love this!  Fish eye kind of distorted view is perfect for a super speed soaring Silver Surfer!  You can see some Tradd influence but still ALL Cannon.  I aloo like that you can't immediately make out Galactus in the back - cool trick!  Congrats!

And thanks for sharing your snowboarding story!  Glad to know you've been able to connect OA with that part of your life :)

I also connect a bit through skateboarding as well. I was never quite as gifted with it, but I still skate with my girls on a semi frequent basis.

Beautiful add, Ian! Congrats!

Thanks Eranga. 

Packed with dynamism and energy. Congrats on getting a piece that carries so much meaning for you. 

This morning, I told my wife that this might be it for me on this topic and she just smiled lol.

As a character, the Surfer is packed with symbolic meaning so it does seem like an inexhaustible topic.

Dang, you snapped your leg in half?!?!  Ian!!  I'm glad you still have fond memories of snowboarding in the mountains.  Talk about a sport with some beautiful & majestic scenery, right?   Anyway, I love this piece!  It's just so unique, with all those attributes you describe.  I can see why you are totally thrilled.  Congrats!!  

I contemplated posting an additional image of the x-ray, but then thought ya that might be a bit too much lol. The scenery in the mountains is amazing and the sound of silence as it snowed was exquisite. Especially seeing how my three hooligans are nonstop screaming in my house lol. Thanks for the kind words.

Love the perspective and those inks are luscious! Congrats!

Thank you. The inks were definetly a big draw for this piece.

Catching air to catching art! How did I miss you posting this one? Amazeballs!

I rarely check on a daily basis anymore as just too much other things goingnon at home. I try to comment about once a week and then maybe for a couple of days if available. Ya I was really thrilled with this one.

Yowza! Very cool Silver Surfer Black commission by the incredible Tyrell Cannon! Love the fish-eye lens effect, it really makes the illustration stand out! Huge congrats on picking this one up!

He really hit the distorted proportions on the nose and it really works for this imagery. Really is one of my favorites in my collection now.
