Mark Chiarello - Leon Bladde Runner

• Deckard: Leon!
• Leon: How old am I?
• Deckard: [after slugging Leon, to no effect] I dunno.
• Leon: My birthday is April 10, 2017. How long do I live?
• Deckard: Four years.
• Leon: More than you! Painful to live in fear, isn't it?
• Leon: [going to kill Deckard] Wake up! Time to die!

Gorgeous! I'm jealous, I thought real hard about getting a Houdini piece when his commission list opened up last month. Wish we had more comics by him! 

Thanks Chris, yearh I too missed out on this commission list too, so I wrote to Mark to see if he has any of these BR pieces left, and luckily he did. And agreed, it is a shame there isn't more work by Mark out there, but he did spearhead some amazing comics from his time at DC.

Beautiful and rare art from Mark.

NAILED the expression.

that intense stare is spot on!

I used to know a guy who said he knew Brion James personally and that in real life he was a real sweetheart. You’d never be able to tell that from this portrait. “If looks could kill …” Brrrr.

From his movie rolls he always seemed like an intense guy. Interesting how art doesn't always reflect life. 

Great piece of a grat character actor.  Just like Brion James, Chiarello's portrait art is something you'd recognize if you saw it and can trace back appearing in many projects.
