Also....coming back to James. He’s a great guy, a wonderful figure artist, and
when he gets his portraits right they are amazing. He’s also an art professor
in Sarasota and worked at Disney, Dreamworks and other film and animation
studios as well as (as someone said) with Neal Adams for a while. His new book
“Muse” is great.
James certainly does some commissions and I have a few of those and am totally
happy with them. (One is of my wife - who is a harsh critic of pictures of
herself; and she loves it. )

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.

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
