This photo from farcebook comes to us from Joe Fellman who drew this fan art on a long box some 30 years ago. It reminds me of something I did back in the day when I got my hands on my 1st ROM issue (#22) but I unfortunately it disappeared over the years. It might be all the art history I took back in college but this kinda reminds me of Picasso's
Guernica.

2014 Comic-Con
7/26 Update: Gary Martin Jr. sent this to me a couple of days ago from the Hasbro area of the Comic-Con. Ya know with Hasbro and marvel being at the same con and this Rom Mighty Mugg promo poster up you'd think somebody would get the fucken idea to talk to someone else about revisiting an old business arrangement.

He actually did a really good job on both Hybrid and Rom and the Thing don't look half bad either!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I don't think I could draw hybrid that well now, let alone long ago in a galaxy far away. Wonderful correlation to Picasso, too. Never would have made that leap myself.
ReplyDeleteI used to do that to my old long-boxes too!
ReplyDeleteThen I started cutting out cool images from my old Previews and Wizard Magazines to make/glue collages onto the sides of them... they're still like that today!
What's up with "Goody-Two-Shoes"??? Hahaha! I don't remember THAT Marvel character.

ReplyDeleteglad you like it i just wish i still had the shit that i did back in the day.

i've actually never been a big Picasso fan but i appreciate some of his art from the stand point of the message it was trying to convene. Guernica, was a Spanish town during WWII that the then Spanish president (Franco) allowed hitler to use as a weapons test site which of course resulted in a slaughter. if you look carefully at it the painting is full of all sorts of symbolism of the death and suffering of the townspeople .
K.o.T.
dude, i still have my old comic boxes with the same "glue collages" art work on the lids that you described. oddly enough i never actually ever drew on my comic boxes.
Now I feel like I should start an art project. First I have to get more actual long boxes.
ReplyDeleteDO IT!
DeleteAlas, they were out of boxes at the shop. I'll have to go back. Did pick up a couple old Valiant trades, though. Harbinger and XO.
Delete-I really liked the old XO series...
DeleteIt holds up really well.
DeleteThat's a screengrab from a video I found online. I just went through more and could only find a far-away wideshot. Hoping someone will upload a better pic/vid of just the poster (not a selfie).
ReplyDeleteIn reply to the update: Nawwwwww, because THAT would make SENSE!
ReplyDeleteGary, as always thanks for your efforts. this blog quite literally wouldn't be the same with out you.
ReplyDeleteK.o.T, and that's why i don't buy shit from either of them.
Eh, that don't make sense either...
DeleteThere are days I could give them up. But you'll never hear me quitting Marvel movies. Hemsworth's biceps. 'Nuff said.

Ha ha.. Goody two shoes with his cosmic shoes! Nice to see him well his shoes at least (he got ficked out of his shoes) I remember one off thing bad guy. It's cool he still had this artwork . His ROM is quite impressive
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it, but he's really kind of cute. In a smushed Cylon kind of way.
ReplyDeleteHow dare you, Sir! I thought we were on the same team!? -Now I know... Mortal. Enemies. *grrrrrrrrr*
DeleteLove all the comments on this. Thanks to everyone for the love. The Goody Two-Shoes makes me laugh. That was a character that appeared in the Thing's solo series during the "Assistant Editor's Month" madness. A truly goofy character who had atomic shoes and a thick Swedish accent. I think it might have been a bad dream that Ben was having or something.
ReplyDeletemore good stuff coming up tomorrow.
