Amazing Spider-Man #641, Cover. 2010.
Watercolor and gouache on Illustration Board, 11 x 17".


I was going to write a post on sculpting tools today, but yesterday slipped away from me... still recovering. Your consolation prize is a first look at the last cover of the One Moment in Time series. This is one of the few times an image just came to me, fully-formed, and I probably owe more than a little to Coles Phillips.

    Thanks so much, guys!

    I'm afraid the art has already been claimed by a certain editor-in-chief.

    I really hope the reference ends up being you... holding yourself... with your hair flowing in the wind. Now THAT'S some wacky reference.
    In all seriousness though, this piece puts the amazing in Spider-Man. Kudos to you.

    And every one of them words rang true
    And glowed like burnin’ coal
    Pourin’ off of every page
    Like it was written in my soul from me to you
    Tangled up in blue.

    Early one morning the sun was shining
    I was laying in bed
    Wond'ring if she'd changed it all
    If her hair was still red

    This is one of the most beautiful comicbook covers I ever saw! The comicbook with this cover is in stores here in Brazil now, and I loved it! The story is great and your drawings are really good! I loved the metal outfit that Iron Man uses in the "astral projection" sequence, which changes at his will. :)
