Juan Samu - Lo Pan BTILC

Juan Samu - Lo Pan
2025 November CAL Mystery Sketch 9 x 12.

Juan drew an absolutely wicked piece that captures the fierce, haunting, and wild aspects of Lo Pan. I'll admit, I'm still scared of him - ever since seeing BTILC far, far too young. I, however, love that movie to death. I love how much movement is conveyed from the tightly forced perspective. It's colorful and authentic. The washed background feels eerie and captures the hazy, neon feel of the scene. Lo Pan looks like he's going to jump right out at you. Thank you, Juan. I wasn't familiar with Juan's work, but the Star Wars pieces look amazing, and he's got a great headshot of Raziel from Soul Reaver, so I'm happy as a clam with this piece.

Also, big shoutouts to Mark at Splashpage, who had to endure a pushy family member - both were continually thwarted by Spanish and US customs, and the USPS. Finally, this piece arrived last week. I deeply appreciate Mark's consummate professionalism.

Thanks for the nightmares, Mom!
