Description
In conjunction with F M’s ‘Doodle Week’, I wanted to present a similar assortment of con sketch confectionery, delicious doodles, and candied commissions to celebrate the holiday season here on CAF…. The return of the festive, goofy, goody-laden, OA Advent calendar…. The return of the ART-VENT CALENDAR (2025 EDITION)! :)

Today wraps up this year’s Art-vent Calendar, but before I go, I’d like to leave you with three Things to consider…

A -huge- and gorgeously rendered image, with Ben kicking around in his cool Future Foundation digs. I love Ben’s solid proportions and stance here, as well as the more rounded, scale-like stones with which Kalman fashions Ben’s rocky hide. The stark (and very sharp) black and white Future Foundation costume looks great, especially with all the pencil marks Kalman left beneath The Thing’s uncovered skin; it all works to shade it beautifully and subtly and instills Ben with a real physical presence on the 11”x17” page.

Thank you very much once more, Chris! I love this one!

Please see my George Perez and Kevin Nowlan galleries for today’s final Art-vent Calendar posts, and thanks once more for dropping by to look at all the pieces this week! Happy holidays!

(And if you’re wanting to see a couple more awesome things, please be sure to also swing past F M’s gallery to take in his Doodle Week daily sketch every day this week!)

I really like Kalman's interpretation of the Thing.

Do you when it was done?

Thanks for the comment, Miki!  I picked this up from the Thing/Man himself, Chris Snorek, and he said he picked it up at C2E2, most likely in 2012 (could have been as late as 2014).  And I'm right with you - Kalman's version is cool!  Thanks again, Miki!

I could stay awake just to stare Ad Venting
Watch the style while you are sleeping
While you're not awake and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet art render
I could stay lost in in this moment Four ever
Where every comment spent with you is a comment of Future

Calendar close my eyes
I don't wanna count the sheep
'Cause I'd miss you, Benji
And I don't wanna miss a Thing

'Cause Kalman when I dream of you (Even Ben I dream)
The sweetest Grimm would never do
I'd still miss you, Benji
And I don't wanna miss a Thing

Love Kalman's work
