2015 - 2020 Sketchbook Alternative Batman Cover

There was a sale, it was worth it, beautiful artwork. I'll wait for the other sales to come to get the other sketch books.

Beautiful & Informative Sketchbooks & a Surprise Signature on the "Clobbered" Print!

It's always such a treat to pour through artwork by Steve Rude, but it's a learning experience to read through his process while going through his Sketchbooks! The mail quickly brought 2 Sketchbooks and a Beautiful "Clobbered" Thing print, but I had to wait till Christmas morning to open them up and enjoy. Definitely worth the wait! And then to discover that Jaynelle had upgraded the print to include a Dude signature made it even better! Thanks so much! I've got days of Sketchbook studying ahead!

A beautiful book befitting of one of the best ever

Adams, Smith, Gulacy, Mignola, Powell. I've loved a number of comic book artists before and after Steve Rude, but the Dude is my all-time favorite. His skill is matched only by the joy he brings to his images. This huge book features all the characters associated with him; Nexus, Sundra, Judah (and Kreed!), to Superman, Batman, and the Hulk, but also Big Barda, Supergirl, and countless others. And in all variety of media, finished watercolors, tons of marker illustrations, pencil studies, thumbnails and color roughs progressing to finished paintings of the Fantastic Four and Superman...it's all here and I couldn't be happier to look through it endlessly.
