I have had...Oh it is! but that's fun of it... <br /><br />I have had artists use my cat Winsor as a template for Streaky, some of them hit the nail on the head perfectly, others just can't draw animals at all!!<br /><br />Kudos to Winslade on this, when I commissioned him for Doc Savage, Pat and black kittens he asked for photo refs of my kitties...<br /><br />I think it may be one of those things that would be better served if you already had a classic piece from said artist but wanted somthing else from them and maybe something a little different??<br /><br />Joe Staton is awesome, he is his own man when it comes to his style.<br /><br />Seeing influences in peoples work is by far not a bad thing surely?. <br /><br />If we didn't have influences then the drive to be creative may not be as strong?? whether these influences show within the work or not they are still there to inspire and to become better at something...:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491672602406667713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4190769286153966019.post-7105433398918369492011-04-12T22:41:52.901-04:002011-04-12T22:41:52.901-04:00I think it's a hit and miss.

He apes styles of various decades, including Sir Richard of Sprang.<br /><br />Do you pay big $$ for that, or do you want JGL on his own merits? It's a tough call.<br /><br />Joe Staton rocks the house and his take on Sprang-y stuff was the source of my childhood thrill with BRAVE & BOLD Batman/ Catwoman team-up. Joe's not mimicking Sprang, but it's clearly the influence.Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00933870997490828610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4190769286153966019.post-23730989916618039662011-04-12T22:29:40.961-04:002011-04-12T22:29:40.961-04:00Not thought about it like that before; but yes, I ...Not thought about it like that before; but yes, I can see what you mean... WOW!<br /><br />That would be interesting as you are taking the artist out of their comfort zone. I like that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491672602406667713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4190769286153966019.post-26632457632889407132011-04-12T21:01:01.104-04:002011-04-12T21:01:01.104-04:00I dig the guy's stuff.

Layouts are a challenge, because he has such a cinematic scope in his world. <br /><br />Can you imagine him doing a Batman story- just a dirty street in Gotham?<br /><br />My brother and I go back and forth over my desire to have modern artists re-imagine old imagery, like Sprang. I guess some day I'll just have to have him draw a Batman from CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS...Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00933870997490828610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4190769286153966019.post-59729629418857156412011-04-12T20:37:17.482-04:002011-04-12T20:37:17.482-04:00I missed this post somehow?

I am probably one of the only comic fans in the world that is so/so with Perez, I find he can over do the detail for my liking, but you own the BEST thing I have ever seen him do, that is perfect imo,wonderful piece.<br /><br />I also have a Gene Colan and it was probably done around the same time as he was quite ill if I remember correctly. His pencils seem so delicate but always so precise, I too rejoice that we still have him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491672602406667713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4190769286153966019.post-55846158099350437772011-03-31T06:43:25.855-04:002011-03-31T06:43:25.855-04:00Great to see that Maguire piece again.
