Description
I have made the trip to OAX each year, and safe to say that this year was definitely bigger and better! The whole convention felt larger in scale while still maintaining that up close and personal feel that has made it unique. The original art focus combined with the social aspect is without question my favorite. It was great to see everyone and all of the art. Now, I just need to figure out how to navigate the floor without stopping and talking to everyone. There just isn't enough time! My voice...

One of the highlights of this year was the opportunity to meet highly talented WRITER and ARTIST Phil Hester. I decided to commission Phil to draw Matthew Allison's character, Cankor. Phil wrote a story with Matt a few years back in Heavy Metal about the metal band, High On Fire and I thought it would be interesting to see his approach.

I made my way over to Phil's table and to my surbrise fellow CAF collector Eric “#1 Kraven Fan” Wenger was already there! We proceeded to compliment Phil profusely until he threw the Cankor down on the table. As you can see the end result is fantastic! The inks are gorgeous. It's an original take on the character and he even managed to work some battle damage in. The mask grab is also a crazy idea and it works! Safe to say that Phil did the old Cankor justice, and I knew he would.

Sincere thanks to Phil Hester!

Dope take on Cankor by Hester!! Phil was one of the artists I was looking forward to meeting and chatting with the most and he didn't dissapoint (was also fortunate to get a piece from him). congrats on the result. P.S. - artist credit for Phil Hester is missing ;)

Oh the rotting flesh and severed arm - hang on tight! That's refreshingly revolting.

Gorgeous piece - I had a wonderful commission experience with Phil - he's a great guy and artist. Congrats!

Maybe you should do Saturday at OAX27 incognito!

Like a love letter from one artist to another with a big fan in between as the messenger and the beneficiary!
