At the customer's request, something a little different. . .

Hope this is the look he was, ah, looking for!

Gorgeous. Reminds me of the Marvel's b/w mags of the 1970s.

One of the first jobs I did for Marvel, uncredited, was helping Duffy Vohland add gray tones to a Gulliver Jones story he'd inked over George Perez's pencils. (I had also helped with the inking, as had Bob Layton.)

The deadline was so tight we were actually finishing the job on the subway, riding in to the Marvel offices! That experience, as much as any, probably informed my attitude toward deadlines. Never wanted to have to do anything even remotely like that again!!

This thread has two of the biggest reasons I like coming to the Forum: The great artwork that JB shares with all of us, and the great trivia and stories he also shares with the board. I never knew about the Gulliver Jones story. I will have to seek it out.

That is fantastic! Man, I wish you'd do more work in that vein. God, that's just awesome. Very nice.

I bought a set of those pens for a friend, but I have not tried them myself. This particular image is ink over pencil.
