Alex Ross paints Wonder Woman

A few people are responding to Echowood's request for comic book recommendations with mentions of Kingdom Come, and specifically it's artwork. By coincidence, I actually own an original watercolor by Alex Ross (pictured above). It was a piece he painted as a 'demo' for a PBS TV show in Chicago, and I bought it from his art rep soon after.

After watching the show (which only featured the piece very briefly), I wrote to PBS, and they kindly supplied me with some unedited rushes from the show, which means I not only have an Alex Ross painting, but also professionally shot footage of him actually painting it. You can see the clips here. And clicking the link at the top of that page will lead you to some other comic art I also own, if that floats your boat. Enjoy.

If I could express wordlessness through text that is what I would do right now, but since that is, by definition, quite impossible, I will instead express that I am nearly without words to express my response to your good fortune. The only words I am not without the capacity to express are the approximately 60 that I've already typed.

I have to second the previous comment first of all.

And say that it is a life goal of mine to own an original Ross, while ive had the great fortune to meet Mr Ross and have prints signed n such, an original would be the tops. Thanks for sharing the story and your art collection!

"it's artwork"

So...is that "it is artwork" or "it has artwork"?
