Description ...I created this piece as a memorial to the late great Harry Lampert; creator of the golden age "Flash", Jay Garrick.
I had the pleasure of meeting the Lamperts quite a few times as we attended several of the same cons-really nice people-Harry gave me an honest and fair critique of my work.

Bold, reverent, and Iconic. I would be surprised if DC did not make a Poster of this.

thanks R.D. glad you liked the image, it was a special piece for me, in appreciation for a man who took the time to treat me fairly and critique my work professionally. I also did a memorial piece for Marty Nodell(golden age Gren Lantern) who was also nice and fair to me at various cons in the past both him and his late wife Carrie.
I will post that image up soon...

RIP to the guy who started it all. The Flashes are my favourite group of superheroes, so all my thanks go to this guy.
This is a wonderful memorial you've made here.

thanks man, glad you like.
Are there any Austrailian super heroes out there worth mentioning?
I wouldn't mind tackling one for an art piece...get tired of drawing the same ole' American based heroes all the time!

carbonous In reply to SURFACEART [2007-11-18 07:57:12 +0000 UTC]

I can't think of any....

Wolverine was played by Hugh Jackman and he's Australian

Maybe you could make one up ^_^

-thanks ,glad you like it.
Looking back on it though...Flash's shoulders are just a tad too broad!

KittysTavern In reply to SURFACEART [2007-11-17 17:18:59 +0000 UTC]

Hmm... looking at it, they might be just a tad, but it's not something overly noticable. I wouldn't have even noticed without you pointing it out. I will say though that it emphasizes the triangle effect so it looks intentional.

-was going for a simple but effective design, something I usually don't impliment in my work...I also did a Marty Nodell(Golden age Green Lantern)memorial piece but haven't posted it yet...

KittysTavern In reply to SURFACEART [2007-11-19 17:47:26 +0000 UTC]

I think it comes off well overall. Is the Marty Nodell piece similar to this one?

-similar in mood but simpler in design-will post it soon.
