Description
Black Science is one of the few comic series from recent years that I’ve finished reading from beginning until the end. One of the main reasons that makes this comic so good is the art by Matteo Scalera. His strong storytelling, linework and facial expression in Black Science are simply brilliant. He has also delivered some beautiful painted covers for Marvel and DC in the past few years.

I’ve been trying to get a commission from him for a very long time and when the opportunity was there, I didn’t have to think twice about the character for my commission: Grant McKay. The quality of his commissions is just amazing like all the other ones that he has put out there!

(Huge, huge thanks to Lan for helping me with pick up @NYCC!)

Scalera designs the composition like the golden age of sci-fi era illustration of the 50's, but modernizes with his stylish and signature wash paints instead of illustration lines and crosshatches that proivide levels of depth within.

I love vintage sci-fi stuff! I'm happy that two of my favorite artists are very good in drawing classic sci-fi inspired art (the other one is Spacegirl by Travis Charest).

LOVVEEEEEE

I've gotten a few Grant McKay's from different artists, and they're all great...but no one draws Grant like Scalera :)

Echoing Evan here, NO ONE draws Grant like Matteo. This is beautifully rendered.

Just a really wonderful example of the style, thought and composition Matteo puts into his work. Great pickup, man!

Beautifully rendered blacks,greys and whites in this page.Matteo has his value scale down when it comes to the whole creative process.He seems to get better and better as time goes by and I'm thrilled to own a piece by him too.
