Wonder Woman off, who won?

When I saw the con sketch of Wonder Woman that Sarah Hudson got from Mark Dos Santos http://www.markdossantos.com/ I thought it was cool... but David Baron thought we should do a "Color Off."

So we took that original file that Sarah got scanned in (thanks @Joshwa_)

Vector Art Show at Moxi Salon in San Francisco



Artist Statement:

The artwork hanging in my show is my attempt to capture more then just a portrait ,a pretty face, body or style. Each image is about the mood, personality and feeling within the image. If I as an artist can invoke some feeling from any of my images then I've succeeded.

Vector: A style of art or creating imagery comprised of paths, which are defined by a start and end point, along with other points, curves, and angles along the way. A path can be a line, a square, a triangle, or a curvy shape. I use those paths within my artwork to create imagery base upon photos. These photos are either taken by myself or used with the permission of the photographer. Some of my subjects are separated from myself by countries, continents, languages and cultures. While others are friends or acquaintances that have inspired me to create art.

The combination of photography and digital illustration allows me a certain flexibility with creating each hanging artwork. That said each canvas piece is unique and no image could be duplicated in the exact manor even if tried. I also never print the same size or exact color combination of any image. Each image is completely unique and should be treated as individual artworks.


Here's a few samples and rough sizes that are hanging:

this is my largest at 6' x 3'

this one is cropped a bit but hangs at 2'X3"

another large one this is at 3.5'X4.5'

Superman: The Last Family of Krypton #1

I'm excited to see this project out on the shelves... it's something I started least year and had to sit on for a long time. I am a huge fan of the DC Elseword books and am really happy to see one return. It seemed coming from reading mostly marvel and images books growing up they were a great entry into the DC universe. Here are a few of my favorite pages from this first book... there will be more. I've finished the 2nd and am about to start the 3rd... lots of work ahead of me.

Written by CARY BATES • Art by RENATO ARLEM • Cover by FELIPE MASSAFERA

• color by Allen Passalaqua

Returning to a character he's long been associated with, legendary writer Cary Bates explores a different side to Superman's legend in an Elseworlds tale that hinges on the fact that while baby Kal-el has rocketed to the distant planet Earth from his doomed homeworld of Krypton, he was not alone. How does a world handle the emergence of the Last Family of Krypton as Jor-El, Lara and Kal-El make Earth their adopted home?

DETECTIVE COMICS #867...my part

Thanks to some hard schedules and San Diego Comic Con... I got to work a bit on DETECTIVE COMICS #867 with David Baron. The art team of Scott McDaniel, Andy Owens was great to color again too. I got to color a lot of their pages on the back up of Trinity last year and it was kinda like coming home. I colored the first half of the book with David Baron doing the last half and a bit more. Here's two of my favorite pages I did from my part.
