I don't have a huge list of favourites
but there are a few Blogs that I have remained
faithful to and I feel the need to pass them along to
anyone who may be interested.
The Golden Age
http://thegoldenagesite.blogspot.ca
This guy has posted a wide variety of art related material over the years and I believe that it is all from his personal collection.
If he owns everything that he has put on display, then he has one the most amazing collections of Science Fiction, Fanzines and Original Art that I have ever seen.
Well worth a visit.
Cap'n's Comics
http://capnscomics.blogspot.ca
This is a far more comic book centric website with
plenty of SF and Fantasy book covers thrown in.
There is a definite bias toward the art of
Frank Frazetta
Barry Windsor Smith
Jeff Jones
Jack Kirby
Etc.
The guy who runs it does a very good job, much better than I do, of keeping up a regular flow of new or recycled material.
None of us are getting any younger and he freely admits to not caring if he is reposting things that he loves and finds beauty in.
Temple of the Seven Golden Camels
(Everything I Know about the art of Storyboarding)
http://www.sevencamels.blogspot.ca
Here we have a sort of Nuts & Bolts site.
Written by a professional, working in the industry,
that covers the techniques of making drawings that work.
Consistently interesting and informative
but due to the demands of his everyday job,
often times there are large spaces of time without
new material being added.
Voz Words
http://vozwords.blogspot.ca
The web presence of longtime comic book artist
Mike Vosburg.
Mike was one of the young men who seemed to pour into the comic book companies during the early 1970's and he contributed to a number of different titles.
Later on, he moved into the more lucrative field of movie storyboarding but he never truly forgot his roots and he has continued to put out his own comics, periodically, over the years.
Lori Lovecraft, has been the main character that he has used.
Mike was always, even in his earliest days, able to draw pretty women well and the stories that he has woven around Lori, have been a vehicle for him to explore the realms of B-Movie
settings and situations.
At the same time, he talks about his work, the things that interest him and the people he has met.
For a short while, new material was posted regularly but recently, the Blog seems to have stalled.
A real shame, because it is an interesting site.
Moving in a slightly different direction,
I recently bought a piece of Original Art from
Mike Burkey of Romitaman
and I would like to promote his site here.
It is a great place to browse examples of Original Art from comic books, book covers and magazines, etc.
My experience in purchasing a piece from Mr. Burkey was as smooth as butter and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone. If I had more free money, he would get a lot of it!
