Description

This commission has taken a long and winding path – more than 10 years – but the wait was more than worth it. I met Lee in the late 00’s at NYCC and we became fast friends (as I was already a HUGE fan of his art). I bought a Hulk page at the show and he did a wonderful commission (both are on my CAF gallery) for me that spilled into a stop on the way home from the show to pick up the art. Lee has seen my kids grow up as my family always makes a stop at his table at HeroesCon each year, talking art, family, and maybe a magic trick. Early along this path, I pitched the idea of a theme I was starting – my favorite artists doing their own version of the classic Hulk poster as an homage to the original artist: Bob Larkin. Lee liked the idea and we agreed that we should keep talking about this as a commission for the future. We talked about the idea but were never able to see it to fruition. It wasn’t an at-show type piece, and Lee didn’t do a lot of at home commissions for many years. Well, I reached out to Lee this year when he shared that he would be doing some pre-show pieces and inquired if this might be the year and you can see the result. I was more than floored when Lee shared this and the piece more than exceeded my decade plus of anticipation on what his version of the poster might look like. That’s not an easy task as my hopes were already sky high. An instant favorite in the theme. Thanks Lee!

Nice wash work.  The different tones really add to the ferocity of the facial expression.

This came out unbelievably great! Huge congrats on another successful commission to add to your Larkin homage project - and I loved the story you shared about how it eventually came to fruition after over a decade of meet ups and chats with the artist.

Must be difficult to name a "best" considering the talent you've had contribute so far but this is my favorite of this amazing commission series. Lee does it again! Congrats Dave, definitely worth the wait. You must be over the moon to add this.

Thanks TC! 

Yes, I was over the moon 3X - when we got it on his list, when I saw the image digitally, and when I saw it in person. On the latter, I was smiling for minutes on end. You are right, selecting a singular piece as "best" or "favorite" would be impossible for me, so I love hearing other opinions on which they like the best. I am not surprised this tops you list of favorites. Thanks!

Weeks had some stunners this year. I thought I was doing great on spending at the show, but made the mistake of stopping by his booth on my way out Sunday. Great piece!

Lee nailed it!  It is absolute perfection.  How do we convice Lee to go back and do another Hulk book?

It's a painted work with all those tones that define the face and the emotions within the Hulk!

Killer portrait of the Hulk by the amazing Lee Weeks! Great take on your Bob Larkin Hulk drawing. Hulk looks especially fierce here. Lee does a great job of showing his anger with the narrowed eyes and toothy grimace. Fabulous addition to your fascinating collection!
