This has BWS vibes for sure, but also takes from Isherwood's influences of Prince Valiant.
My Biggest takeaway: Larry was allowed to handle the art!
Very nice! And the only way not to buy...is not to look...which is heartbreaking! ;)
Larry has so many great pieces still hiding in fedex boxes, its amazing you were able to get this masterpiece. Truly a thing of beauty. Makes me sad the Black Knight movie with Kit Harrington never came to be. Congrats again!
Ha! That explains a lot. We did a big trade deal some years back and I have never seen him post any of those pieces. They're probably sitting in some closet still in the original unopened shipping package. LOL
Oh, wow! This piece does stop you in your tracks.Congrats on adding a wonderful Isherwood to the collection!
Anyone that can draw a horse is alright with me. And in general, Isherwood is very underappreciated.
It's funny you say that because I think some of our greatest comic artists (past and present) don't know how to draw animals. And we've all seen it. Whether it's a wolf, a lion, a bear, a shark, or whatever. It's almost like they had never seen one before. Haha! But yeah, Aragorn definitely steals the show here. Heck, even if Dane wasn't sitting there, I STILL might have bought this.
That is a beautiful piece of art.
We're gonna need a bigger FedEx box.
That's gorgous! I hope you checked Larry's backpack for any "accidental grabs" on his way out!
His next stop was to pick up his Art Adams piece, so he needed all the room in his backpack for that. And the only reason I let him hold that Mignola poster is because I knew it was way too big to fit in his backpack. LOL
When a great piece stops you in your tracks like that, ya gotta grab it! Fantastic add!
i saw this and immediately thought of avengers 100. geoff did a really nice job on this. the colors look great! congratulations! good job!
Very nice piece and that Larry is pretty nice too!
That's very beautiful! So epic!
That's a great (Dane Whitman) Black Knight image! Marcus called it right with the Prince Valliant influence, and this is such a classic pose with Aragorn. Lovely pick-up. (It reminds me, I must put up a Dane Whitman page of mine this week.)
Magnificent!
Your CAF Live searching/browsing skills must be better than mine because I never even saw this piece even though I'm pretty sure I saw Larry's booth, funny how that works right ha! But a very visually arresting Black Knight piece by Isherwood regardless, nice grab!
Hey Buddy- so, the complete story, is I commissioned this with Geoff as I was doing the Avengersa 100 project with him starting back in 2009. We got this one, Ant Man, Swordsmen, Hawkeye, and Hercules done. All in the BWS flavor. Hercules was the last one around 2012. I wanted to keep going and have the whole team represented individually, but I sold one of the pieces and I am not sure if that is why Geoff didn't want to continue or he just lost interest in the project. I was really looking forward to Thor, but he never got done, so I gave up. Geoff did excellent work on all of them, yet Black Knight was my favorite. I'll send you images of ther other pieces in a direct email. So gl;ad you have this one!!
Wow! Thanks for that super cool insight. Can't wait to see those other four pieces you mentioned. Your Avengers 100 commission idea sounds like a total dream project. What a fantastic idea. Although I have to admit to being torn between having individual pinups of each character, or just have Geof do his version of that phenomenal DPS. Just based on this Black Knight piece, I'm sure he would've just crushed that. And like you, even trying to imagine what the Thor piece would have looked like makes me wish that had materialized. So sad. Anyway, thanks SO MUC for completing the backstory for this incredible piece. I'm just so sorry that your dream project was never completed. But I think there's one thing that everyone will agree on. Just absolutely beautiful work by Geof.
Wow, an absolute stunner, so very cover and wall worthy, Isherwood nailed it, congrats!!
Nice change of pace with the color piece - Isherwood really put a lot into the gorgeous BK piece. Congrats!
geof really killed it on this, awesome piece
