I'm 99% sure that the interior drawing...Hi all,<br />I'm 99% sure that the interior drawing from Strange was done by french artist Jean-Yves Mitton (http://mitton.free.fr/), who worked for Lug editions under the american-style pseudo "John Milton".<br />He created the french super-hero Mikros and drew a story of Silver Surfer (with autorisation from Marvel). He also drew a lot of french covers for Lug (Strange, Nova, etc.).<br />Excuse my english, I hope you can understand my writing.Christophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00752825100971417606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-70737390681250512332013-08-20T20:20:02.875-07:002013-08-20T20:20:02.875-07:00You got my attention.
Hello all. I would like to ...You got my attention.<br /><br />Hello all. I would like to thank you for inviting me to this blog. I have been enjoying it for about 2 years, lurking; until now. The art you find is fantastic, you post are good. I enjoy reading the comments as well.<br /><br />I do hope the past stays in the past, however, I would like to clear some things up. "The dream" wasn't a real dream, but part of the overall story. All of it is fiction.<br /><br />I was me who built the life sized bust of ROM. It was patterned, cut and built from construction foam, used in the insulation of buildings.<br /><br />The Bronze piece was built using the 'lost wax" method. It is 12 inches tall, weighs 12 pounds and is fully articulated at every joint. It was sculpted from scratch using a special wax used in metal casting.<br /><br />The jewelry was made from paper and covered with silver mylar. The gold one is made from paper and covered with gold Leif and painted with a clear coat.<br /><br />The stories in the Altmarvel website was done to keep ROM's memory alive after I read the "Spaceknights" series in which he was killed. There are two visions. One telling his origins and another, telling a story of his return as a Spaceknight.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />ROM'S Freindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12075843720599499760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-64904501397366123352013-08-15T11:15:59.722-07:002013-08-15T11:15:59.722-07:00Strange covers were painted by Jean Frisano.

...King of Thessaly & David "Shlomo",<br /><br />Nice work KoT!<br /><br />I had done the same thing a few years back and managed to snag most of the images then - and also found more personal stuff and links to things which allowed me to pretty much <i>find</i> Ceoia.<br /><br />At the time I opted to leave her be, since I figured the grief she received from web-commenters might have left her not wanting more contact (even if it might be positive).<br /><br />Then, I'm ashamed to say... I forgot all about it as my own life got me in a strangle-hold.<br /><br />Then, when I went to use WayBackMachine not too long ago, I couldn't find ANYthing.<br /><br />Turns out I must have screwed up the url.<br /><br />Good to know that the stuff is still floating around.<br /><br />However, I think enough time has passed for me to make contact - and extend a welcoming hand.<br /><br />Of course, even though my own blog has a ROM factor to it, THIS is the BLOG FOR ROM FANS WHO AREN'T DICKS - so, perhaps THIS might be the forum for her to make her return.<br /><br />I'll contact her and see if she has any interest.~P~https://www.blogger.com/profile/09299078564477985626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-38907609067876175182013-08-11T13:32:23.791-07:002013-08-11T13:32:23.791-07:00that was some great research you did K.o.T good jo...that was some great research you did K.o.T good job. i'm at a loss for words on those links i'm still trying to process it all. since there's some gender ambiguity wit this person i'm just going to call em by their handle Ceoria. so now we know who did that bust sculpture. i thought the jewelery was ok but what appeared to be a bronze Rom figurine was pretty cool. now as for the Rom story that came from Ceoria's dream i thought maybe that was something Ceoria might have wanted to keep to him/herself. we all have some pretty weird dreams no doubt but we usually don't disclose those dreams on the internet that was kinda askin for trouble by posting it. i bet Brandy Clark wasn't too happy about it either. either way it's a shame Ceoria was seemingly chased off the net. i think i'll add a little something special for Ceoria on Wed's posting.

I've seen paper sculptures of buildings and bridges that were pretty big, but never a life sized ROM! I can't believe the story of the artist. That is just tragic beyond belief.<br />I really dig the Terminator drawing as well. <br />I thought that ROM only booth was just a dream I had once but now I know better.
