Description

So I had the wonderful opportunity to get another commission piece from the equally wonderful Al Severin. I threw out a few ideas to Al, and figured that he could choose the idea that struck him most. One was a self-portrait with some of his characters. Another was something with his funny book animals, as I had seen some wonderful sketch pages of his bears. A third idea was an old-fashioned life drawing scene, such as might have been seen in a turn-of-the-century art academy.

To my surprise and joy, Al decided to combine all three of the ideas in one wonderful ink drawing! That's Al standing next to the bear, whose fully focused on the honey pot, rather than the model. Wonderful characters and drawing in one piece. Thanks Al!

I like the fact that the bear is drawing the Honey pot and not the honey on the pot. Good stuff. Thanks for posting.

Great commission piece. I am glad you and Al hit it off and I am happy to see all the great art by Al. I am not sure which piece I like the most of all the one's you got but I think it is between this one and the nudes/horses. All of it is great work.

I have to second Alex's comments and love the "turn-of-the-century" illustration style. Thanks for posting and getting the word out on another "unknown" (to me) artist. Congrats!

Love the art, and love the story behind the art even more! Wonderful!
