Alex Raymond in the Studio

Found an awesome picture of the great comic artist Alex Raymond in the studio, getting ready to ink some pencils for Rip Kirby.

I've been trolling around on http://www.comicartfans.com/, typing in the names of some of my favorite inkers and comic artists like Jorge Zaffino, George Pratt, Raymond, Leonard Starr, Noel Sickles, etc. There's tons of great rez reproductions of the original pages, its a goldmine.

Here's some more Alex Raymond, easily found on comicartfans:

Need to update more...

....or just wait til I can dump a bunch at once!

Just pencil, inks, etc. I've been looking at Jillian Tamaki's stuff a lot recently: http://www.jilliantamaki.com/

Couple of quick master copies in here; Noel Sickles, Fechin, etc
The 8th image was a drawing fom an old photograph heavily inspired by Noel Sickle's drawings: http://illustrationart.blogspot.com/2010/08/comic-con-2010-conclusion.html
The self-portrait was done while looking at Jillian Tamaki's ink portraits; she has such an economy of line, and I crapped up by trying to put too much detail in mine. Lesson learned...
