Is it officially cool to have an illustration section of your CAF now? I
missed that. I don’t have a ton, but am happy to put up what little I have.
On this specific topic. Cool piece Ray!

Besides Illustration is now a component of CAF including a lot of work by
illustrators who did not work in comics (and while there is a lot of crossover
there are also many who worked solely in illustration.) George

Hi Mark:
James Martin worked with Neal Adams at Continuity Studios. So unless all art
by comic artists that was not done for a comic book is barred, this is art by a
comic book artist.
Best wishes!

And this is related to comic art, how?

Wow it’s beautiful! (Who is it???) when James hits these bang on, the results
are so wonderful

James Martin - Susanne 1967
On December 21st I contacted James and sent along photo reference for this
possible commission. James responded positively and enthusiastically right
away: "Absolutely! Could do something really special with that! May get to this
one sooner than later! ;)" By December 31st the commission was completed and it
was mailed right after the New Year's holiday, arriving here January 13th.
This lovely commission is 11" x 14".

I have two other pieces by James which are in that same Gallery which folks may
wish to check out. Comments are most welcome!
Best wishes!
