batsam Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Staz Johnson rules. I've met him before, real nice guy and I think I can officially say that he has the best hair ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie1138 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 never been a fan of staz johnson-he's one of those artists who floats around in the background doing consistent art but never grabbing the limelight like adam hughes or alex ross. checked out his website and i have to say,he should land a gig like 'the ultimates' or 'jla'. a big name title to give him the exposure he deserves. looking forward to meeting him.

Staz Johnson Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) Hi everybody, Seeing as how I've been announced now, I thought I'd drop by the forums & introduce myself. I dare say if you're reading this, then you've probably read the biog blurb at the head of the thread, if anyone has any questions about specific comic issues I have drawn I'll do my best to answer them. I'll be at the show Saturday & Sunday, signing, sketching & selling original pages of comic book artwork. My charges for sketches are:- £5 for a headshot, £10 for full figure, I don't make any price differentiation between pencil sketches or ink sketches. Below are a couple of examples of what you might expect to get for your money. Look forward to seeing you all at the show.

Peter Parker: Spider-Man #36 Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus: Negative Exposure (mini-series, also available as a tradepaperback) Underworld (mini-series) Spider-Man 2 Movie adaptation New X-Men: Academy X #3 & #4 The Cable/Deadpool issues won't be available before the show. For DC, Batman/Aliens 2 (prestige format mini-series, also available as a tradepaperback) Robin most issues between #32 & #71 Catwoman most issues between #78 & #94 Detective Comics #689-#694 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
