Selfportrait gallery !

Ugh? What do you mean by "Ugh"? No likeness or something? Hmm? OK, now I know that usually people don't like to look at their own portrait so what about another selfportrait from a fellow professional, namely Herb "Hulk" trimpe : http://suprfile.com/src/1/14vuh4k/HerbTrimpe.gif I...

Dave Cockrum's Star Trek art

No inkers from your first X-Men run... OK, I'll stick to Sam Grainger anyway albeit I like most of the inkers you list except one. Actually it's not that I dislike him, I find his skill amazing but I believe he has a natural tendancy to totally cover the penciller : Rudy Nebres. Well, you could say ...

Here's one sketch by Mr Cockrum that I find quite accurate with a great economy of lines :

Dave Cockrum's Star Trek art

Art is great on every other pages but a bit less on this particular one and I was thinking that mebbe there was a reason. Besides yourself, who was your favorite inker ever? Back to Star Trek : From all your other works I can tell you like drawing science fiction comics so was it your decision to le...

Dave Cockrum's Star Trek art

After many careful comparisons and examinations I didn't notice any particularly hard edges. Sure, Grainger brushes work is sharp but supple at the same time and it's probably the reason why I appreciate his inking and why it doesn't bother me at all. I also like his use of large black areas. Like I...

Dave what do you think of John Byrne's penciling of X-Men?

"it was the Byrne/Claremont duo that caught the eye of many new readers." Really? When John Byrne took over Dave Cockrum I was upset ! Sure, quickly I grew to like John's run more and more to the point I would be upset again when he left too. BUT no matter how good Byrne's X-Men had been i...

Dave Cockrum's Star Trek art

Thanks for your reply Mr Cockrum. About Mr Janson, no misunderstanding here, I like his style and appreciated his work on many occasions. The job he did on your Star Trek pages is as usual very competent but it just doesn't fit your style to my opinion. In fact, at times I don't necessarily dislike ...

Dave Cockrum's Star Trek art

Hello Paty and Dave, I've been "spying" around here for a while and I finally decided to register. I heard about your health problem so I hope that every day will help you feel better and better... just like your art did to me when I was reading your X-Men as a 11 years old kid. I still ha...
