Godzilla (and Shaolin Cowboy) Commission, 2015
Geoff Darrow imagines the crossover (via commission) that you will never see anywhere else. Darrow’s own Shaolin Cowboy attacking Godzilla.
Geof’s intensely detailed line art is perfect to capture all the scales, fins and bumps on Godzilla’s figure.
Perfect.
And as mentioned previously, he is also one of the nicest and most entertaining creators you will ever meet.
Commission, 2015
Welcome back to a month long celebration of the “Independents” — Independent creators and projects that continue to impact the comic book medium.
My love / hate relationship with conventions has often been a topic of professional discussion, whether I like it or not.
Focusing on the “love” part for now, conventions are opportunities to chat with friends far and wide that I don’t otherwise get a chance to see. This includes many creators that I’ve had the pleasure to meet or work with.
At the top of the list (A lot of folks are tied for number one) is Geof Darrow, the talented artist, super nice guy, and a very funny fellow.
Geof is one of many creator highlights for me at San Diego Comic Con. 25 years ago, back when the convention was smaller — and artist alley was bigger, it was a safe haven from the overwhelming din elsewhere in the building. Now of course the din has followed us everywhere.
But I digress.
I love this commission because it highlights Geoff’s key characters and amazing line work in a beautifully-detailed, impactful pin-up.
Hard Boiled (with Frank Miller), Shaolin Cowboy, and of course Big Guy and Rusty the Robot (Also with Miller).
I love Giant Robots. Doesn’t Everyone?
