Thank you Mike, I agree, the likeness is uncanny, the detail is even more incredible in person right down to the hairs in front of Brandon's face.
Thanks again yeah Michael was correct, the inks would make it pop and he was a pleasure to deal with.
Thank you, yeah Simon is a really cool guy to talk to, people were coming up in the bar and talking with him who didn't know who he was, which was probably a small distraction to him, but he is always enjoyable to talk to if you get a chance to meet him at a show, etc.
Thank you Troy for the comment, yes Nat is a really nice guy, I am lucky to call him a friend and so glad I was able to get him to contribute to my sketchbook for not only The Crow, but also my Batman one.
Thank you Horacio, yes I agree, Bill did an amazing job on it and even James O' Barr commented to his fans about how much he enjoyed Bill's interpretation.
Sounds good, check out the gallery anytime, I have everything up here on this site for viewing, along with my original page from the original mini-series (I used to have four pages all in order from the Gideon Pawn Shop scene starting with the page entitled "Absolution" but sold off three of them years ago. Back in 2006 James was offering a really nice Crow sketchbook via his eBay site. They were hardcover illustrated cover design sketchbooks with blank pages inside to have sketches done, and he would offer them with an original two-page splash sketch on the inside front cover. They would end for around $60-$80 on eBay, so I managed to get one and started getting other artist interpretations back in 2007. The most recent one I had done was in April 2012 by Detective Comics artist Tony Daniel.
Well I will agree, it is an amazing piece, you did quite well! Oh I have some commissions from James starting back in 1993. I also get other artist interpretations of the character, you should check out my gallery here on comicartfans when you get a spare moment. :)
Awesome piece, I was there too and managed to get my first Tony Moore original and I asked him to do The Crow and he delivered big time, also something he said he had never drawn, but Tony puts his all in his commissions.
I wasn't aware James was offering up for sale the newly added pages, guess I was wrong. Congrats!
Congrats Holly on this amazing piece you managed to get. James looks quite happy and it appears he is adding more shading in his commissions, hopefully I will get another from him soon for the collection.
James is looking great, and that piece is amazing. Is that an original or a print?
Twisted indeed, only Bill could pull this off, and it's quite amazing! You have one stunning piece there, congrats!
It became a running joke between Clayton and I, we live fairly close so he would appear at a few more conventions here than say if he hadn't lived in the area, so I would just have him work on it when he had time, there was never any rush. Clayton is an incredibly nice guy in-person too.
Yes he did, Aaron is an incredibly talented artist and a really nice guy too.
Thanks, yeah I really did luck out, especially since it was my first time getting on his commission list and I know others have tried multiple times. Having him do the sketch in my Crow hardbound sketch book (that creator O'Barr offered on his site years ago) was a plus too because I wasn't sure if he would do it, but Tony was beyond gracious. He asked what I wanted it to look like and all I said was "Have him look pissed". Since I was an exhibitor at the show, I gave him my sketch book and mentioned for him to take his time. He said to return later in the afternoon and when I did, I was stunned at how much detail he put in. Worth every single penny and then some. ;)
Did you also request The Crow, Chad? Thanks for catching the book switch too. When Tony asked what I wanted character wise I simply said "The Crow, and make him pissed" and he nailed it big time.
Thanks for the kind words, yeah when I went back to Tony's table to pick up my sketchbook I took a look inside and my jaw dropped to the floor. Tony really went all out for me and it was greatly appreciated.
No problem, nice to see it is still being enjoyed, and also glad to see it popped up on here. Curious if the other two pages I sold end up here as well. Why I sold them I don't know as I had this page and the three that followed it, but still have the fourth page in this sequence still though.
I was the original owner of this page and the three pages that follow it when they were originally offered by BCG in New York City back in the mid-90's. I had parted with this one and the two pages that follow it, nice to see that it is still in a good home. ;)
Good lord you are right, I was half asleep when I was posting these and got Bernard mixed up with Mike. My apologies to both, making the change now, and thanks for letting me know of this.
Thanks for the kind words, yeah Clayton is a great guy. I wish my scanner would bring out the detail in some of the sketches I have posted up here like this, but can't seem to make it look any better.
LOL! Hi Renee, good to see you and Michael down in San Jose this past May, will see you both here in Seattle in March 2010 for Emerald City. :)
Excellent work by O' Barr, how very unique to have this done, a great piece to have in your collection I am sure.
Elizabeth has some great pieces by O' Barr. I haven't spoken to you Liz in a LONG time but I remember you sent me scans of these many years ago. I need to get some of my piece up here, but I just signed up and still figuring out this site.
