I actually just finished a Neil Gaian book that mixed comic narration,
tradition story narration, and illustration. It was a very interesting way to
tell a story.

Miki,
That’s a really superb collection of SF illustration art. Kudos!
(I’m a big Michael Whelan fan. Whatever happened to him? And Don Maitz too?)
Just to be clear: I love illustration art—my occasional complaint on this
mailing list notwithstanding. It’s just that illustration a different thing
than comic art. Comics are fundamentally about sequential narration.
Illustration is not. This is not a critique of anyone’s taste or collecting
preferences, it’s just a fact.
And yes, I certainly understand cases where “this is an illustration by a
comics artist,” but that’s not really the point. Michael Jordan played both
baseball and basketball professionally: that doesn’t mean those two sports
have anything in common. There are not many NBA players in Cooperstown.
Obviously I’ll deal with it. But I just really don’t see a place for painted
copies of photos of actresses in a comic art gallery, just as I wouldn’t see
a place for fresh vegetables or women’s clothing in a hardware store.
Sorry to be cranky. I guess for me it’s about signal-to-noise ratio. If I
want to look at comic art I’d rather not have to wade through not-comic-art
to do it.
Apparently I’m in the minority.
Cheers,
Mark Nevins

The first piece is legitimately comic art but I included it in the
illustration gallery because the artist is more recognized as an
illustration artist.

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
