A Response to "Best Art Ever (This Week)" Selections (CA)

Normally, I don't spend a great deal of time on Comics Alliance's website. They have a great set up there, don't get me wrong--tons of neat articles and very good writers. It's just that I don't spend much time researching comics outside of just reading them and enjoying them for the individual works they are.

But their "Best Art Ever (this week)" articles are my favorite--I love seeing all the new interpretations of classic characters and ideals. So here we are, with me writing comments on selections from that article =)

I would love this Superman by Sebastian Ciaffaglione--and I do--except for that odd headpiece. It makes me wonder how it is being held on to his face. The coloring is gorgeous, and it makes Clark look more alien-esque and foreign than he does in other carnations, which sometimes I like. Beautiful picture.

No joke, I would love to buy this Wonder Woman print by Karen Zachary Wang and put it in my living room. I should research the artist because if she has a whole line in this style, I could decorate my entire house. It would make a bold (but not blunt) statement, and would generate lots of conversation, which good decorative artwork should.

Love this, even if I dislike the sappy look on the face (I have always thought the main character from Portal looked akin to myself, and that is not as flattering, lol). The only thing.....can someone explain the pile of lemons she is sitting on to me? I get the companion cube, the potato GLaDOS....the lemons kind of threw me off.

Commission Gordon is all that is badass. Look at that shit--seriously. Why has mainstream media like the movies and tv show been so committed to the dumpy doughnut-eater Gordon? Cliches for cliche's sake does not make for good characters.

This is someone I would like to see more of--Terry McGinnis. Well, that and the artist Ryan Benjamin if all his stuff is this cool.

I feel like I would adore this picture because it reminds me vaguely (but not excessively) of Tim Burton.....but it's Batman. Come on, Chucky--couldn't we have gone with perhaps Green Lantern or Booster Gold for this one?

The only Jubilee I have seen in a long time where I didn't immediately and instantly hate her =)

The colors are great and she looks like a fun, cool chick you might hang out with.

I can't be the only one that loves Skottie Young--his work is so adorable!!

Maybe it's just because of how much I love Wonder Woman, but this is my favorite of all the artwork from this article. It makes her look proud and strong without losing her femininity--I am so sick of the masculinaization (is that a word?) of Diana because she is a powerful woman. This makes her look beautiful, delicate, formidable--awesome.

Colleen Coover--another girl I think we could be friends, if she wasn't really awesome and I am an awkward duck.

This reminds me of the Wonder Woman up there, and I reiterate--I want this whole line! I would girl the hell out of the living room and just make Mike deal with it!!

There was a ton more of artwork that I was enjoying, but I may have to break it into two posts or just leave the rest because I have things to do this morning -mega super sigh-
