"Black Panther" Cover Artist Looks Towards New Marvel Movie

New York, NY--

The Buzz on the new Marvel "Black Panther" movie has been hitting the Internet in a big way!

As one review wrote:

"Black Panther looks, feels and sounds unlike any Marvel film to date. A visual feast. Wakanda is amazingly realized, the antagonist actually has an arc with emotional motivations. Marvels most political movie. So good."

One piece by Arthur Suydam for Black Panther. 

And just as happy to see that as anyone is one of the Black Panther cover artists, Arthur Suydam.

Known for his pivotal work on "Marvel Zombies," it was Arthur's cover work on that series that helped catapult it into one of the most successful series of all time, and add to the growing zombie craze that writer Robert Kirkman continued with "The Walking Dead." (On which Suydam has also provided the frontage.)

Coupled with his work on George Romero's "Empire of the Dead," and his work on "Deadpool,"  Suydam was a natural choice for his run of work on "Black Panther," as well.

Some of Suydam's humorous turns on Black Panther. 

"I was happy to work on pieces for that character," said Suydam.  "I've always found him to be one of the Marvel characters with a great deal of depth to be explored.  And it's no surprise that he'd be the subject of one of the upcoming movies."

As to which of his many works is his favorite, Suydam says he really couldn't say. "Like every piece, the one I'm working on at the time is my favorite. But working with the Black Panther series was certainly a pleasure.

As part of his appearances at conventions world wide, Suydam often does free quick sketches for kids on Sunday.  The subject matter is wide ranging, but as Suydam notes:

"Black Panther is always a favorite."

Spotlight on: CLINTON T. HOBART

 EVA INK is happy to welcome Clint!

Clinton T. Hobart

Clinton T. Hobart is a Fine Artist and Licensed Disney Fine Artist. He creates original oil paintings of a wide variety of subjects ranging from classical subject matter such as fruit and eggshells to more modern subjects such as Mickey Mouse and Doritos. Even his Disney paintings are technically still-lifes, because he works from real objects in front of him. If he cannot find the objects he desires to paint he frequently will build elaborate "Sets" to work from. For his painting of the tower from the Disney movie Tangled he constructed a four foot tall replica of it made out of stone, mortar, cardboard, plaster and wood. The sculpture has since become as popular as the actual painting.

In addition to painting for Disney, Hobart also paints still-lifes, portraits, cosplay paintings, and ocean waves. He has been featured on NBC News, FOX News, The CW, ABC News, and American Artist magazine. He appeared on CBS News with Scott Pelle after a Chinese company sold forged copies of his paintings online. Afterward, the Huffington Post mentioned the story in an article stating that Clinton was part of a “sting operation.” Hobart’s painting “A Portrait of Doritos”  is in the private collection of actor Michael Rooker from Guardians Of The Galaxy and The Walking Dead.

Note that Clint is available for painting demos at your show!

Limited Edition Suydam Cover featured on "Infected by Art" Coffee Table Volume!

Suydam cover for the new deluxe coffee table book.

For Immediate Release

November 29, 2015

“Infected by Art” Deluxe Collector's Volume Features Limited Edition Arthur Suydam Cover!

New York, NY— “Infected by Art,” the new deluxe hard-cover coffee table book featuring the world’s finest  fantasy, horror and sci-fi illustrators, has just been released with a limited edition run of 500 copies, featuring the stunning cover work by  award  winning  artist / writer,  Zombie King, Arthur Suydam. 

Written by Todd Spoor and Aaron Raymond and on Bud Plant’s “highly recommended” list,  “Infected by Art” features over 300 images of work’s  in the categories of fantasy, horror illustration and science fiction broken down into five categories competing  for  prizes.  Winning artists  were selected  by a  panel-jury comprised of   four  all-star judges, this year including: Suydam, horror  legends Basil Gogos and Sanjulian, and sci-fi cover artist Ken Kelly .

The books dust jacket explains it all: “The art comprised within is simply the most imaginative thought-provoking and creative art on the market today.” Featuring artists from the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, etc. -- truly making this a world-wide collaboration of exceptional works.

Suydam was selected  to join the alumni of distinguished judges for this year’s installment of “Infected by Art,”   based on his groundbreaking  work  on Marvel Zombies and a sequence of zombie  themed titles over the last ten years which helped prompt a worldwide zombie  pop culture explosion,  extending to TV, film, gaming, merchandising (Note: Hot Topic), and making the word "zombie" truly a household word.  Listed in the book of  the "Top 100 Greatest Comic Artists of  all  Time ,”   Suydam and contemporaries, the likes of Richard Corben, are credited with revolutionizing comics in the  70s  and  80s themselves, by first introducing painted fine art techniques and a fresh, mature  storytelling  into U.S. mainstream comics, helping to open doors for the  writers and artists in the  years that followed. 

The most recent in a line of books on this celebrated artist has just been released as a deluxe coffee table volume, entitled "The Complete Cholly and Flytrap," from Titan Publishing, while previous books on Suydam include "The Art of Arthur Suydam," from Vanguard, and "The Art of the Barbarian" from Eva Ink / Heavy Metal, among others.

Suydam comes by his painting instincts naturally: Great Uncles on his father's side, James Suydam and Henry Suydam were both among the dozen artists who won  American  painters recognition on the world stage  for the  first  time  at  the outbreak of the  Civil  War,  circa 1861 and became  known as the Hudson River Painters --a collection of landscape  artists credited with reinventing the world of fine art at that time. In the  20s and  30s, E.H. Suydam became one  of America’s most  celebrated  architectural artists with artworks now hanging in the White House, Museum of New York and the National Academy Museum  and  more.  It's a fair bet,  that Suydam’s mother, Juliette, a native of Montreal, herself an avid painter may have contributed  to instilling an appreciation of the arts into her three sons, as well.

Zombie King, Arthur Suydam’s own work graces both the front and back cover of 500 limited editions of “Infected by Art” and additionally is featured in a beautiful three page spread of  never before published, unedited,  master works, including the  complete  wrap around cover painting  for his much  celebrated  “The  Walking  Dead"  #1 " variant cover ,  all in the intro section of this culmination of today’s top illustrators .

"Walking Dead" #1 O'Barr Color Version.

James O'Barr "Walking Dead" #1 Black and White Variant.

The piece featuring our hero Rick Grimes surrounded by a horde of zombies is being offered in both color and black and white versions in a limited edition.

As for the interior story, a lot of you know it by now! But here's the synopsis in case you don't:

(W) Robert Kirkman (A) Tony Moore (Cover) James O’Barr
Black & White, 32 pages

How many hours are in a day when you don’t spend half of them watching television? When is that last time any of us REALLY worked to get something that we wanted? How long has it been since any of us really NEEDED something that we WANTED? The world we knew is gone. The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility. An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled, no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally start to live.

Rick Grimes is not prepared for this. A couple months ago he was a small town cop who had never shot anyone and only ever saw one dead body. Separated from his family he must now sort through the death and confusion to try and find his wife and son. All the while fighting for his survival. How did this happen? How did things get so bad so fast? How will things ever return to normal after everything he’s seen? From the guys behind BATTLE POPE and BRIT comes something COMPLETELY different.

James O'Barr's limited run of 150 each of the  "Walking Dead" covers are available at his appearance while supplies last. Each comic will be signed and numbered as Artist Proofs, and come with an Eva Ink Artist Group Certificate of Authenticity.
