My favorite comic book artists doesn't get any work nowadays even though I think he is a genius. Look at those images above and tell me everything about it isn't just jumping out and punching you in the face. I guess Mr. Salmons isn't so interested in doing what the powers that be in comic book companies telling what to do when it comes to his art, and that has burned the hell out of a ton of bridges. I bet cold cash if some company just gave him some cash to do what he liked when it came to comics they would get a classic work that would catch on and provide them with a little extra cred eventually. When I make art nowadays I have to consciously remind myself to not straight rip him off line for line. His work is like Jack Kirby(who I posted some work from in my first post) on psilocybin, but with some narcotic addictive quality. I search out this man's work with a frothy mouth. Anyways, I recommend that whoever you are hunt out this dude's stuff as soon as possible and relish in it. I wish there were a hundred of him putting out a book a day instead of one putting out a book a decade.
