thanks for sharing...

Those are gorgeous!

I'll have you know that I have NEVER doubted the awesomeness of Guy Davis. :)

[Neil Hill]

Guy Davis is absolutely incredible! I've known it for quite awhile and I'm glad that you;ve finally jumped on that bandwagon Nick ;-)

[Nick W]

Me? Bandwagon? Not with Guy. :D

Oh yeah... go BoSox! :p

NW

[gary bolt]

I admit that the awesomeness of Guy Davis is substantial but I only came to realize this when I read B.P.R.D. Plague of Frogs #5. The composition of the pages is awesome. These new images hint at even greater art in the upcoming P.P.R.D. series. I can't wait!

[DonneFan]

those took forever to load...danged dial up... but were well worth the wait. Thanks for posting them. The only BPRD book that i have been able to lay my hands on thus far has been Hollow Earth, must find plague of frogs.

[Johann]

Nick?- What are these for? covers, just drawings or pinups what? `cuz the first one looks like a cover from The Dead, so i'm wondering if LoJo will be in the new series.


none the less, beautiful drawings!

[Jakob Westman]

Awesome!!
But that guy with Lobster Johnson is Guy's own character isn't it?

/ Jakob

[Nick W]

Johann- Sorry to get your hopes up, but no LOJo in the Dead (at least as far as I know). These are pieces I commissioned these from Guy a few months back.

Jakob- The other dude is one of the Nevermen (from the Nevermen by Phil Amara and Guy). I'm sure you can find the books on ebay or another online store (& you should). :)

[1HELLBOY]

sweet crap in a tin cup those are awesome

[Zombie!!]

Nick I remember you telling me about these, I am super jealous. I thought you were gonna get LoJo and The Murderist though? still both are friggin' beautiful pieces. Guy Davis is one of my all time favs.

[Nick W]

Yup, I did originally ask for the Murderist, but I thought a Neverman would work better so I asked Guy to change it. :)

[Amigo]

Did everybody check out the other great new series by Guy Davis?

"The Zombies that Ate the World".

http://www.humano.com/zombies/

Published by french Humanoides Publishing - some storys are available in english (Metal Hurlant magazine).

[Tad]

No time to really search through the site now, but I loved the video clip in the"Surprise!" section.

[morna]

...Just got these gems back from the framer.. you may recognise one of them!

I still want Mignola!

[morna]

heh heh heh... yes it IS lovely, isn't it?

sorry about your lower mandible tho'

[Petersen]

wow. Very nice Morna. Very very nice.
Julia is a big fan of the spreads Guy does (as illustrated in that cover) with a strong image on top and an ultra letterboxed panel on the bottom.

I don´t think he frames that easy. :)
Nice Morna - VERY nice. Gary must be happy now.

[Leo]

Naff me. I conceed, truly awesome. *nods sagely* yup.

[morna]

Guy Davis is the NICEST guy! (yes I still call him Guy (rhymes with me) in my head)

He did this one for us just 'cause he's such a sweety! Gary and I both love the submarine in Plague of Frogs. He is aparently eager to trade us glass for original Guy Davises! woo hoo!!! I may have to hold out for a page from the Black Flame!! mmmmmm Black Flame!

Looks like I gently crossed the line at some point recently and I am now a comic art collector - Kool!

Thanks Guy - you rock!

[rhboyd]

Never a doubt in my mind....

I'll share my Guy originals ( though not HB ) soon!

Beautiful pieces, Morna... excellent taste!

I'll have you know that I have NEVER doubted the awesomeness of Guy Davis. :)

DITTO. The Marquis would be my first foray into his awesomeness.

[JohnThompson]

DITTO. The Marquis would be my first foray into his awesomeness.
The Marquis is BRILLIANT. If you've never read the books, do yourself a favor and buy them!

[Mikolaj]

Truly, Guy's work never fails to amaze me. Still tie;n to get my hands on the first Marquis TPB>...

[Ose]

I finally got to read The Marquis: Danse Macabre myself just a few days ago - all thanks to Guy himself, who sent me the individual issues since I haven't been able to find the TPB anywhere after months of searching. More proof of this thread's title being accurate!

The Marquis is a really, really good read. I made the mistake of starting on the first issue at four in the morning and couldn't stop until I read all five issues. Brilliant story, great art and I can't wait until Guy gets the next story out.

[Mikolaj]

for me, the best of Guy's work is the second arc of the Baker street. I got It only few months ago and I just can't stop myselth from reading it over and over again. I love the fact, that the world shown there is something totally unknown to me. Still waiting for that final Baker street arc...

[Atomica]

Lobster J looks awesome as all the images posted, can't wait for my skectchbook to arrive

[morna]

:) Gary and I just got home and saw a package awaiting us from the awesome Guy Davis! We opened it and HOLY S**T! Even though it's almost bed time Gary jumped in the car and drove immediately to the studio to scan our amazing goodies. Guy Davis is a TOTAL SWEETY! This just in (via e-mail)...

[morna]

Now we knew he was sending us a Sketch Macabre and we knew about the submarine but look at this !! It truly knocked my socks off! You guys can imagine how excited I am about this. I'm speechless!

[Xequals10]

Morna,
That Black Flame is awe inspiring. I can't wait for the 31st to read the first issue. BTW, I am also waiting on a package from Guy. Three pin ups of Abe, Liz, & Ben!

[gary bolt]

Morna knew that I really like the pages in BPRD: Plague of Frogs that show the cool Victorian submarine. She wanted to buy one of those pages as a gift for me and asked Guy if they are for sale. He replied that he is hanging onto those pages but look what he did... An awesome 8 1/2 x 11" drawing of the submarine with Abe in the foreground. Woo hoo, thanks you Guy, it's a fantastic drawing!

[Mike Cross]

Man, you guys are getting an awesome collection of HB related art..you need to put together the "Rick Cortes" wall to show it all off. I am still trying to convince the wife to get me a page from Plague of Frogs for a gift..

Mike

[BKole]

I Wish i was a Lady, so i could Marry him.

(My Girlfriend feels the need for me to also add "This is a Joke. Though he enjoys Guy Davis art more than he rightly should, he does infact not want to marry him.")

[petriacce]

Wow Sir E and morna,

That indeed is some beautiful art. I'm also waiting on a package containing some art work and a sketchbook from Guy. I'm hoping it comes soon.

SkinnyMC has it right. You two need to set up a web page showing off your new gallery at home. :D

[Maija]

That is some fantastic art, morna & Gary!

Guy is made of awesomeness and snails and frog monsters' tails.

I can't wait until my Marquis 1 & 2 arrive.

[Neil Hill]

Guy is an absolutely awesome person to deal with, when purchasing artwork, sketchbooks, or communication in general! For those that collect and can afford the purchase, go to his website now and purchase Original Art. You'll be doing yourself a huge favor :D

And no, I'm not being paid by Guy to say these things. It's based on my experience in dealing with a true gentleman artist!

[Johann]

Congrats Morna and Gary. A round of applause is in order for Guy and his generosity.

[kid cthulhu]

Wow, you two, those are simply amazing! Love that sub. Can't wait for the 31st!
Guy's art seems to be impressing me more and more.

[Timaximus]

Why I'll be waiting next to the mailbox:

Sweet! I know all to well the anticipation of waiting for a box from Guy. :)

[Neil Hill]

More Guy Davis awesomeness! Beautiful sketch you'll be getting there. :)

If I may ask (and please forgive my ignorance), what are those characters from? Are they established characters, or just something Guy did for fun?

[Maija]

I continue to have NO doubt about the awesomeness of Guy Davis. That is a fantastic piece of art. There is so much life in his littlest squiggles.

[Ivar_L]

Has this picture something to do with Jacques Tardi?...

[Timaximus]

Has this picture something to do with Jacques Tardi?...

You are correct. It's Tardi's character Adele Blanc-Sec and her various supporting characters/creatures in the background. So very awesome.

[gary bolt]

I'm liking the Horseshoe Crabs - awesome little creatures from an ancient time.

And how can you go wrong with tentacles, I ask?

My package from Guy arrived today. In it:
BPRD Dark Waters, page 16
3 signed comics : Marquis Danse Macabre #4
BPRD Black Flame #1
BPRD The Dead #2

plus a little note from Guy with a quick Roger sketch...cool stuff!

Mike

[ADamUnRama]

Im jealous. He's good to work with. Speking of which, I need to email him . . .

[morna]

nice one Mike! .. any chance of getting a larger image or perhaps some details?

[Mike Cross]

Yeah i will try a better picture...as anyone who has seen some of my blurry out of focus or small pictures, you know i suck on those kind of pics..i will try better..

[Mike Cross]

Holy crap, my new computer really sucks at sizing photos..anyhow, first photo is little note and roger sketch, dwtop is the top 2 panels of the page , dwbottom are the bottom panels, i split it hoping the pic would not size too wonky, but ...

Anyhow, this is the Guy goodness

[kid cthulhu]

Very nice!

I'm so jealous of all of you with original comic pages. One day I will have some.

[DannyBoy7783]

I apologize for being too lazy to dig up the thread. I wanted to share a little nugget of Guy's awesomeness with the board.

A family member of mine ordered his sketch book and one of the marquis art prints for me and let him know it was for my birthday. He included an abe sapien sketch (not a preprinted thing) autographed to me as well as BPRD: The Black Flame #6 and an issue of The Marquis (both autographed!). I was very surprised to see the extra stuff when I opened up my gifts.

If you see this Guy, thanks man!

[Neil Hill]

Guy is one amazing artist and person! I can't recommend purchasing just about anything from him enough! He's awesome. :D

[Mike Cross]

Yup Danny, again i concur. As i mentioned on the other Guy thread, he sent me the page, a quick Roger sketch, and 3 signed books..you can't beat that in any way.

Mike

It looks like a cool Tim Sale Page behind it...from long holloween?

So super psyched today. Just got over the 48 hour flu, ate a decent meal, and received this along with a few extras.

http://home.earthlink.net/~petriacce/bprdthedeadbiopanelssmall.jpg

I scanned, resized, and edited to get the skull in the middle. The skull was intended but unused for the back of The Dead TPB. The bio panels are from the inside front cover of The Black Flame issues.

Sweet!

[hellboyone]

Niiiice! I'm gonna have to seriously think about getting a piece from Guy. Now, I gotta think of what to sell to get one! (No Mignolas, you vultures.)

R.

[Maija]

Suh-weet! Are they each individual drawings? It'd be cool to matte and frame them in much the same way you have photoshopped them together.

Really, really nice set.

[morna]

Wow - beauties Pets! Super nice score

Really, really nice set.Five drawings are one one piece and two on another. I did have the following idea for framing. Guy also signed the artwork with a neat signature with a crowned skull that I'll put in bottom right hand corner.

[Kelly Tindall]

God, Guy is so amazing.

I remember, years ago, seeing some of his work and thinking poorly of it... but I bought The Dead for a friend before Christmas, and read it, and it blew my socks off.

John and Guy are on fire with B.P.R.D., the book is just spectacularly good. Guy's art is so textured and sophisticated that it makes my head hurt... and makes me green with envy.

[hollow18]

hey everyone

thought i would chime in and share some of my Mignola and Guy sketches and art.

http://www.blue-revolver.com/sketches

there are a few other gems in there and a few i have not posted yet- and guy is sending me a Domu commission! so when that arrives i will repost.

Thanks for sharing that Nevemen page is awesome.

Nice little sketch collection you have there! Cool James Jean piece.

On top of having a nice collection of Mignola sketches and some awesome non- hellboy pages, I am jelous of the Kevin Eastman Michelangello!

Unbelievably excellent. Those Mignola pieces smash my brain.

Those are both fantastic, Craig. I love that Cardy included Choopie snacking on blood samples as if they are drinking boxes. That was a favourite moment of mine in your 4-part Perhapanaut story. I gotta say I prefer the Guy Davis pin-up, though. Its awesomeness cannot be denied!

[Petersen]

When are we going to see Darkhorse put out a nice Nevermen collected edition hardcover?

I asked Guy about future Nevermen at the last Motor City con. He said that at the time Dark Horse was not interested in doing any more and that DH controlled the rights. So my guess is that a hard cover won't be coming anytime soon.

Nooooo! Not listening.

Alright Darkhorse, what's it gonna take?

[Mike Cross]

Well, i bit and purchased a new BPRD page from the renowned Mr Guy Davis, BPRD: Plague of Frogs issue 1 , page 13 with the BPRD crew in the last panel...see the link on Guy's site. I hopefully will have a new scanner when it arrives...

[Neil Hill]

Really nice collection of sketches!! Right-click/Save As, Right-click/Save As... :D

[morna]

Hey! I got my Black flame page recently too (page 1 book 5) and of course Guy sent tons of extra loot including the whole TPB of Baker street!I really love the little notes he sends. here are the two recent ones.

Love that Guy Davis!

[molmol]

So, I'm expecting a fedex package any day now. This is what I'm waiting for.

:D

http://dajo.be/random/hellboyrobot001small.jpg

[morna]

wow that's just awesome. Haven't seen too many Guy Hellboys.

[Neil Hill]

I love that HB versus Nazi Robot piece!!

Not to knock Guy at all, as I'm one of his biggest fans, but I think his version of Hellboy is actually getting better as he spends more time with this universe of characters! Thankfully it's not a ripoff of Mike's work (and is completely Guy all the way), but looks enough like something Mike would do to be more like an homage' piece...if that makes sense. :D

[Tad]

Beautiful piece. Anybody else would use a low angle so all they'd have to draw is the sky behind them but this is Guy's sense of pattern and detail going nuts.

I don't see anything Mignola about it other than the character. The blacks aren't similar, the porportions are different, I think this is 100% Guy drawing Hellboy.

[craig rousseau]

man, guy's stuff never ceases to amaze me (the latest b.p.r.d. was beautiful)... not sure if i ever posted this in color, so here it is...

[Kelly Tindall]

[Mike Cross]

That rocks mightily..Guy seems to be great for doing that

[Neil Hill]

Yeah, I picked up several early BPRD pages from Guy recently, and I just want to say again how completely amazing this guy (no pun intended) is!! Super talented, super friendly, always doing extra little sketches which he includes with the pages he sends, and (as if there needed to be an and) he includes free shipping with the pieces he sells! And anyone who's made Original Art purchases in the past via snail mail can, I'm sure, empathize with how much s/h can end up costing sometimes. The fact that he includes that with his pages prices is just one small indicator of how truly cool this artist is!

In a day and age where many (artists and regular folk alike) are all about the bottom line, Guy is that rare person who seems utterly real, completely willing to give more than is expected, and definitely deserving of much wider recognition.

OK, I've waxed on and now I have to wipe this tear from my eye. ;-)

As a side note; Guy sent me a small Abe sketch along with the pages described above, which I'll be getting around to posting a scan of soon.

Your aces Guy! Never stop being you! :D

[Mike Cross]

Stygian, side note: do you have a comicartfans site anywhere so we can see all your great pages?

On topic note: My last Guy page came with a little Roger side sketch, which i dig more than some of the real art i've gotten

[Neil Hill]

Stygian, side note: do you have a comicartfans site anywhere so we can see all your great pages?

That's one of my someday goals for certain SkinnyMikeC. In fact, a buddy who's art collection far surpasses mine (who has been talking about setting up a comicartfans section for years) finally got his setup, so now it's my turn I guess. :)

[Mike Cross]

New awesomeness recently received from Guy, hopefully i will get a pic of the package in a little bit, page from Plague of Frogs, little quirky Roger sketch and 2 signed comics, Universal Machine 1 and 2. As always , much thanks Guy..must be something in the water in MI and sending lots of goodies..

[Mike Cross]

and here we go..again i just can't seem to get a non blurry digital pic ever, but he goes:

[Neil Hill]

For those who have EVER doubted the awesomeness of Guy Davis...don't ever do that again! :p Feast your eyes on these sketches I received with several Universal Machine pages I purchased recently.

I can't say enough how much I love Guy's artwork! I literally cannot wait for the next BPRD mini to begin. :D

[PoprocksAndCoke]

Wow, that original stuff is so cool. If he opens up for commissions again, I might have to buy one. Hopefully I'll have some money if he does. It took me a long time to get used to someone other than Mike drawing a Hellboy universe story, but after I got over it, I really like his stuff a lot.

[Neil Hill]

It took me a long time to get used to someone other than Mike drawing a Hellboy universe story, but after I got over it, I really like his stuff a lot.

I know what you mean. Although I was probably more ready to embrace Guy on BPRD than some (as I'd loved his Black Water story and had seen his work in Marquis and Sandman Mystery Theatre), I was skeptical as to how much I'd enjoy the series overall. Guy proves consistently that he was the absolute right guy for this job!

[Mike Cross]

Yeah, i loved the Dark Water story as well, it was the best of the BPRD one shots (that under the bed one..peeeyew). Guy's black and white art is as good as the colour art and i can pick out more things from my Dark Water and Plague pages than i can from the same pages in comic form

[Neil Hill]

(that under the bed one..peeeyew).

Yeah, I completely missed that particular story because the artwork was just not what I considered to be "up to par" (no offense intended towards Adam Pollina the artist) for a Hellboy book. That one for me was kind of the point where the Hellboy Tales stuff jumped the shark.

[Libaax]

Im liking Davis more and more.

He has a great and his own art style. Its also nice that his art reminds me a little just alittle of Mignola.

Hope he stays long with BPRD and if someone else than Mignola is gonna draw new Abe or new Lobster mini it should be him.

[Mikolaj]

Rule number one: never doubt the awsomness of Guy Davis
Rule number two: don't doubt the awsomness of Guy Davis
Rule number thre: no, realy! ;)

[ChrisTheHomunculus]

Has anyone read any Nevermen? I read a little blurb about one of the tpb and I've been trying to scout one out in my local shops...
I wasnt actually all that impressed with Davis in the beginning, but now I'm converted:) His artwork is brilliant, I think my fears were that he wouldnt live upto Mignola, but I love the direction the BPRD stuff has taken.
Chris

[Neil Hill]

I think my fears were that he wouldnt live upto Mignola, but I love the direction the BPRD stuff has taken.
Chris

But never two more different artists will you find. I find it interesting that you thought to compare the two and hope that Guy would "live up to" Mignola's work. I think I know what you mean though. You wanted the quality of Guy's work to match Mignola's, as Guy is working on Hellboy related characters. In that way I can understand.

[ChrisTheHomunculus]

Part of why I love Hellboy so much is the style of Mignola's artwork, so moving to another artist (whose work I had never actually seen) who is stylistically so different was something that slightly worried me...
I'm glad that the delivery alleviated my fears!

[Petersen]

Guy (with the help of Web-guru Nate Pride) updated his site
http://guydavisartworks.com/

with more current work in the 'comic work' and 'illustration' section.

I'm proud to see his 2nd Mouse Guard Pin-up there and am still in love with his Dick Tracey Villians!

[Neil Hill]

I am still in love with his Dick Tracey Villians!

I'm just in love with his artwork period.

BTW folks, Guy's been a working artist for 20 years now! Drop him a line and congratulate him on a more than distinguished career thus far. Here's to another 20 years plus Guy! (raises glass in toast)

Now I just want to know when someone is going to produce an Art of Guy Davis career retrospective?! C'mon Dark Horse. It's more than time. :D

The sketchbook he put out last year had a nice range of stuff from sandman through BPRD. The sketchbook was large 8x11-ish with 56 pages.

According to his site he has some left!

and yes, Guy is deserving of a real art-of book

Thanks Petersen. I've seen the sketchbook but (and I mean no offense to Guy), much of the work is very obviously printed from computer scans and just doesn't have the vitality that a more handsome TPB or hard cover version (with higher production values) would have. Just a thought and nothing more.

[Kelly Tindall]

Guy has a sketchbook?!!

To the internet!

[sofaking]

i recently ordered both his sketch macarbe books.
they have just been delivered and not only did i rerceive the fantastic sketch books , but also a signed card and a signed copy of the universal machine no. 5

to say i am pleased would be an understatement.


right i'm of to try and look at my new purchases without drooling on them

[morna]

it's true!

We have a thread around here called the awesomeness of Guy Davis or something of the sort. We LOVE Guy. I'll see if I can find it.

[Mike Cross]

I've said it before..i really disliked the style when i first saw it..yes a naysayer initially. But was i ever wowed by what, even though i know is a lot of work, just seems so simple. Guy draws everything so well, from monsters to people to gadgets, that is really makes a welcome change in one regard from mike's work. Plus in the two times I've ordered pages from Guy, i really like how he personalized the art via a little drawn sketch each time..it's those little things. He sent me a Marquis issue autographed as well, which was my introduction to that character also. See? he knows what he's doing..he's introducing new readers to his creator owned things. Is that sneaky or smart?

[Neil Hill]

As threads will probably be merged and the first message was about today, I'll answer here...

I had like a late Christmas today - there was 2 packets waiting for me in the post office. First one had Berni Wrightson's A Look Back book, second had two Guy Davis Sketch Macabre sketchbooks! And not only them, there was also signed B.P.R.D. The Universal machine #2 and a WEREWOLF sketch!!!

Buwhahahhahaaha-- yes, I shall merge them all NOW!

[Neil Hill]

Stygian, what amount of killing do i have to do to get one of your Hellboy pages away from you?

First, you must give up all pretense of a normal life- to include living in a house, bathing, worldly possessions, etc. al. Second, join a Hari Krishna cult and give out flyers at your local airport. Third, you must take a vow of permanent celibacy. After you've done those things call me. I'll be waiting patiently by the phone. :p

You should be more carefull with such statement, Stygian! Someone out there might be just in the middle of the "path of cool art" transformation. What will you do if one of these days something very stinky and dirty comes knocking on your front door moaning "aaaaart... art..."? :D

Sorry for dubble post. had some problem with the net

I had like a late Christmas today - there was 2 packets waiting for me in the post office. First one had Berni Wrightson's A Look Back book, second had two Guy Davis Sketch Macabre sketchbooks! And not only them, there was also signed B.P.R.D. The Universal machine #2 and a WEREWOLF sketch!!!

Two amazing posts.

I really have to get off my keister and order Guy's sketchbooks. He's amazingly amazing.

Did you guys read his story in The Dark Horse Book of the Dead? Unbelievably gross, but spectacular. Guy Davis is the Michelangelo of monsters.

-K.

[Ninth Hispana]

Guy's sketchbooks are ''GREAT'' and well worth the outlay.Having just received mine, I feel I'm in a good position to pass out positive feedback...what an amazing partnership Mike and Guy have with BPRD,[wonderful stuff]...but what about '' Nevermen'' and the ''Marquis'' these books are brilliant and should be checked out....

Baker Street is one of my favorite of Guy's books; unfortunately, it's hella obscure and hard to track down.

Neverman and Sandman Mystery Theater rock my socks, too--you can't go wrong with Guy Davis drawing goggles and fedoras. *swoon*

Oh no, say it isn't so!

BTW Mikolaj, you may be right, but thankfully no one (yet) has shown up on my doorstep, reeking to high heaven demanding artwork. Not that I'm hoping that will happen by any stretch of the imagination.

[Mike Cross]

Hehe..time will tell Stygian...time will tell.

From looking at Comicartfans and other sites, it's hard as hell to find any Mike Mignola artwork going for under a few hundred dollars, he's one of the few artists that I've noticed that...even his smaller head sketches are not on the cheap..that's a good thing, shame he doesn't get any of that fat cash after he sells his pages..

Guy pages will go the same way..once things get hot, prices shoot up

Good observation Mike. Yeah, Hellboy pages are virtually impossible to find for less than $300-400 unless you purchase from the artist himself, and even those aren't cheap.

As far as Guy's prices skyrocketing, as you said, time will tell.

[Kelly Tindall]

I know! Somebody post his Spongebob or Toy Story drawings. Those were crazy.

[Mike Cross]

Well, Guy news on the Guydavisartwork.com website has been updated for January..no new commissions for the forseeable future, but lots of new projects coming..plus still some great art for sale!

Speaking of Craig Rasseau (well, only indirectly). Sir, I've recently had the pleasure of turning a friend on to your book Perhapanauts. I gave him a copy or two of your current series in a stack of other stuff, and almost by accident he really glomed onto your stuff! He's only a sometimes comic reader (only as he's given stuff by me for the most part), but lately he's actually made an effort to track down Perhapanauts back issues and even has a copy of your comic hanging in his cube at work. In other words, way to go sir! Your product speaks for itself of course, and it's been my pleasure to bring one more person into the the fold of fans enjoying your book.

alway good to hear... thanks! (now if we can only rope in a few thousand more readers...) i think we've finally hit our stride with this second series, we'll see if we get the chance to do more (if for no other reason than to get more great pin-ups for the trades like the ones from guy* and david... and cheeks!)

You BETTER do more, as my buddy specifically will be very disappointed if you don't. :)

[morna]

...and now for your regularly scheduled Guy Davis love...

Ok this is incredible, but look what I just bought form Guy

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i14/mornagary/marquismidwifehumano.jpg

I KNOW!!!

I'm blown away. He told me ages ago he wasn't going to sell any Marquis stuff - you know... 'cause I HAD to ask, and then the other day I just happened (no really!) to mention it in an e-mail and he said he'd sell it to me!!!! I wasn't pestering him or anything - swear to god!

wheeeeeeeeeee !!! what a month!

[Kelly Tindall]

Wow, that's so dynamic. Is 'typically amazing' too soft a term?

[Sparky]

Ok this is incredible, but look what I just bought from Guy

Wow, it's crammed with craniums! It's teeming with Yoricks! It's chock full o' noggins!

I sense a theme here...

[Mike Cross]

I just love the muted inks on it..Guy , i think, knows what he's doing.

[Neil Hill]

The sale of that piece couldn't have happened to a better person, Morna. You and Gary both deserve it! Very, very nice.

[gdeo]

another great buy Morna...it's beautiful! congrats

[Jawa]

Guy rocks. I just got a package in the mail from him today, complete with two original pages, one from BPRD: DARK WATERS and one from SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE. They are beautiful, and Guy was a pleasure to deal with. Guy, if you're reading this, God bless, man, you're a true class act :)

[Neil Hill]

Guy rocks. Guy, God bless, man, you're a true class act :)

This can't be said often enough. Guy is absolutely fantastic!

[DannyBoy7783]

I should have named this thread "The Official Guy Davis Fan Club" :)

Thanks for being such a great guy and a great artist, Guy.

[ZombieHound]

It's been a while, but I thought this BPRD Pin-up (http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/7411/bprdcr5.jpg) deserved to resurface this old topic.

[morna]

hey! where'd ya get that? It rocks!

[Todd H]

hey! where'd ya get that? It rocks!


I believe it's in Wizard issue 191. Which reminds me I went to the book store to pick it up last night, got excited by finding Odder Jobs and forgot to get the Wizard! Argh!

[Mike Cross]

Can't find my damn camera or i'd show you all YET AGAIN why Guy rocks..he helped me locate some obscure music, burnt me the disc, drew a fun scene on it, then sent it to me along with some extra BPRD goodies. Guy, if you still read this, you went way above and beyond in helping me and the wife...that's why i love buying art from you. You're a good person.

[Timaximus]

The Awesome Guy Davis collaborated with The Awesome Sammy Harkham on the cover (http://bp0.blogger.com/_2v-Vwo5ul9Y/Rnf5Vq4ljiI/AAAAAAAAAGI/bnZD_dmK2zA/s1600-h/cc3_cover_med.jpg) to Comics Comics 3 (http://comicscomicsmag.blogspot.com/2007/07/comics-comics-3-out-in-stores.html).

"Whatevs. I got paperwork to do."

[Mike Cross]

Finally watched the entire of the FACA 3 battle..damn if i don't need me a Red Raja commission in the future..

Congrats on winning it all Guy!

[pimpernel]

Been a massive fan of Guy's since i stumbled across Sandman Mystery Theatre when i was a boy. I wasn't really into comics back then, but the art stuck with me and a couple of years back i was lucky enough to get that entire series on eBay.

I try to check out everything Guy is involved with, and i absolutely love the Marquis and the Nevermen.

I couldn't believe my luck when Guy took over art chores on BPRD... two of my most favouritest things in the world coming together in perfect harmony. Guy is probably the only artist that i think really truly gives Mignola a run for his money.

I'm all excited cos i recently bought some Sandman Mystery Theatre pages from Guy. I haven't heard back from him yet, but i can't wait. I wish i could have afforded some BPRD stuff, but sadly i'm a pauper.

Anyways sorry for being so longwinded, but yeah Guy is awesome. :D

[Rachel Edidin]

This October, six of Guy's original pages will be up for auction as part of a fundraiser for Girl-Wonder (http://www.girl-wonder.org). If you're interested, you can find previews here (http://girl-wonder.org/gwog/2007/08/art-auction-preview-guy-davis-rocks).

[Mike Cross]

Rachel, willl you give us a heads up that auction starts?

[gary bolt]

From the website...

First, news: The date of the art auction has been set tentatively for October 7-14.

[Mike Cross]

Thanks Gary, i missed that obviously. Looks like what is posted so far for the auction is some very cool stuff.

[Rachel Edidin]

Thanks Gary, i missed that obviously. Looks like what is posted so far for the auction is some very cool stuff.

It really is. People have been amazingly generous--we're pretty bowled over.
As news stuff comes in (and gets scanned and / or photographed), I'll be posting updates on both GWOG (http://www.girl-wonder.org/gwog) and the G-W forum (http://girl-wonder.org/forums/index.php) for anyone interested.

[gary bolt]

In reviewing this thread I discovered that I never posted this little beauty that Guy and Rosey drew for us when we were at the Motor City Con in May. We had been chatting about pets and our home lives earlier so when Morna and I asked him to do a sketch for us I asked for a steampunk cyborg feeding their pet rabbit Hazel (that's a tough-guy male rabbit like in Watership Down). Guy said that he had to ask Rosey to draw the rabbit because he tried a few and they all looked like monsters. I love his use of grey marker that we’ve seen in many of the sketches posted here.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i14/mornagary/guymccc07.jpg

[Neil Hill]

Love that sketch! Guy does such incredible stuff, always!

[Mike Cross]

Well, it's done..i sold one of my 2 Guy BPRD pages, so i could in turn pick up another one which i more preferred, this time from Universal Machine. Neil, i totally understand and if i could have scrapped the cash to keep both, it would have been great, but this time, a page with Abe, Hellboy and Darryl trumped all..pics when it arrives!

[Neil Hill]

Been there and done that whole chestnut more times than I can tell ya, Mike, so no worries. As long as you are ultimately happy with your purchase, all is right with the world.

[pimpernel]

Guy Davis is indeed officially teh awesome. I bought some pages of comic art from him a few weeks ago, but there was a wee bit of trouble with his email account which meant i didn't recieve a reply from him until yesterday and i was getting kinda worried. Anyways i bought four pages... and here is where the Guy being awesome part kicks in... not only did he throw in a fifth page for free, but cos of the email mix-up he also threw in a free copy of his sketchbook!

Also also, i'm working on pitching an Edwardian horror/fantasy comic to Dark Horse, and he gave me some excellent advice. Mr Davis is a prince among men.

Is there any way you could post images of the pages, maybe even just a quick snap of them on your floor or something? We'd love to see them.

Oh i don't have them yet... he is sending them some time this week. :o

Also they are Sandman Mystery Theatre pages... one of my favourite ever comics... BPRD pages a little out of my price range for the time being.

I will try to take pictures if you still want tho?

:D

Weird question, and I don't know if somebody already asked it or not... But did Guy Davis do an album cover for the bluesman Guy Davis?

I was sniffing around Amazon this morning and I found this cover to Legacy, the award-winning album by Guy Davis. (http://www.amazon.com/Legacy-Guy-Davis/dp/B0002IQI5Q/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/002-9489336-4796013?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1190645070&sr=8-2) Sure looks like Guy's work to me. If this is the case, I'd just like to say, "That's totally awesome."

Looks like you're eyes were correct. Taken from the CD's product description:

The CD's packaging is particularly inventive. The booklet includes a tongue-in-cheek "comic book" story of Guy and the Devil at the crossroads drawn by the "other Guy Davis" - the acclaimed graphic novel illustrator.

And from Guy's site:
BLUES REVIEW MAGAZINE
The current OCT/NOV issue of Blues Revue magazine has a short interview and writeup on the artwork I did for the 2006 Guy Davis Legacy CD— that's the Bluesman Guy Davis whose wonderful music you can find at www.guydavis.com.

man I'm lucky if I run across anyone with my firstname let alone both! I spent my first 17 or so years thinking it was a made up name until my highschool counselor called me into her office for no other reason than I have the same name as her daughter. I was quite shocked that day.

Yes! Guy brought me a copy as I had been asking about it (to MCCC) proving yet again just how awesome he is. It's wonderful! Reminds me I should dig it out and read it again.

I came home from work today and Morna showed me a large flat parcel that had arrived for us(Strangely Canada Post delivered it on Sunday). The parcel was from Guy and it contained four awesome pages from BPRD: Garden of Souls (1 page from issue #2, 1 page from issue #3 and 2 pages from issue #5). Once again Guy went beyond expectations and included two special drawings - one for Morna and one for me. What a generous and truly nice gesture!

Our scanner is too small to scan the awesome pages so I'll photograph them and post them soon.

[Jankenstein]

Oh my............those are sweeeeeeeet! :)

Awesome stuff! I'm waiting for my own little package from Guy so I can join this mighty thread :D

I just love seeing those guys sitting in big old armchairs.

Abe and the cyborgs.

Abe Sapien, man of action, busting out!

I just love that submarine.

That page of Abe with the Cyborgs is one of my favorites from the series. Being an Abe man I'm naturally partial to those pages but I have to say that the submarine page is fantastic. It looks even better in black and white. That is just a great image.

Congrats!

[Neil Hill]

Lovely pages, Gary, truly so!! My favorite would have to be the page where Abe is getting the stuffing beaten out of him by one of the robots- arms lifted high as Abe is tossed like so much flotsum!

[Maija]

Wow, those pages are beautiful. I love the Victorian cyborgs and I love the submarine.

The sketches are wonderful too! The awesomeness of Guy Davis never wanes.

Those are cool... i love those diving-suit guys. :D

BTW Gary how long did your stuff take to arrive roughly?

[petriacce]

I love the art. I wish I had more funds for Davis art. I love the stuff I already have.

The submarine page is truly awesome. Guy did a great job of making it look like it is rusting and deteriorating down in the depths. In our correspondence about the page he told me that he was a big 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea fan when he was a kid and that he loved to draw the Nautilus with special pleasure coming from drawing all of those rivets. He also did a very convincing job of portraying the surface of the sea looking up through the water.

I love that Abe is flying right out of the frame. It is a very dynamic page. I really wanted a page that showed that Abe was finally over his prolonged mopey period.

The design of the cyborgs and the submarine are great steampunk-type devices. Too bad they've been destroyed. The drawings are all fantastic. They seem quite loose but Guy is very much in control of what is happening on these pages. The cyborgs are just delightful mechanical inventions. They look like they were fun to draw and they have all kinds of great expression in their movements and body language. The image of them sitting in chairs with their feet and hands on the floor tickles my funny bone.

Those are cool... i love those diving-suit guys. :D

Cyborgs, please.

I don't have a clear answer on that. We made a complex arrangement that involves me sending him something as well but my something was tied up. We started the process a couple of months ago and he doesn't have my something yet. Once he told me he was sending the package it was only a couple of weeks.

[Mike Cross]

Love that page 3, and it should be noted that I knew gary would somehow get that sub shot..makes a fine addition to the Abe and sub shot you already have!

Wow! I love it too. What a great Wonder Woman and how can you go wrong with beheaded giant Nazi robots?

[Jankenstein]

I love that submarine!

And the cyborgs.

And the Wonder Woman with a headless Nazi robot. Lobster Johnson would be proud!

[Neil Hill]

I third that! Guy is one of those rare artistic geniuses who sometimes fly's beneath the radar, only to sneak up on you and slap you with gorgeous pieces like this.

Of course, those of us truly "in the know" have realized and appreciated Guy's genius since his first issue of BPRD and even before that, but, well, I wouldn't say that's the majority of us. :p

[Kelly Tindall]

I'm so happy you got the 'hugging cyborgs' page, Gary. That was a favorite of mine from Garden of Souls and I'm happy it found a good home.

Gary, do you think Guy would be interested in seeing any of the designs here?

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is the first movie I ever remember watching, and it's still one of my very favorites.

I can't speak for Guy but I sure am interested.
I followed a link in your last link that lead me to pictures of a custom conference room decked out like the interior of the Nautilus. How cool would it be to work for that guy?

Woot! I finally recieved my package yesterday, and i couldn't be more happy. I got five pages of Sandman Mystery Theatre, which i can't wait to frame and stick on the wall. I can't take pictures of them at the moment unfortunately, but as soon as i can i'll post them in here if anyone wants to see.

In addition to the pages Guy threw in a bunch of extra goodies, which was awesome of him. I got a signed copy of the new SM:MT trade, a signed first issue of BPRD: Killing Ground, a signed BPRD postcard and, best of all, this sketch...

Fantastico! :D :D :D

[Neil Hill]

Awesome Sandman sketch there, Pimp!

[Todd H]

I mean really....could Guy Davis be anymore awesome? I think not.

I've sometimes felt cheated by artists sketch books. Not Mr Davis' though. Two books filled to the brim with awesome artwork. I may have to order another copy of book 2 just to tear some of the pages out and hang em above my desk.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/RavenTwyst/Picture005.jpg

The word bubble on the Garden of Souls reads "Cheers Todd!" I love when he does that.

And the cream of the crop...my very own Daryl sketch! Woohoo!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/RavenTwyst/Picture006.jpg


After the Holidays I hope to pick up a page or two from Garden of Souls if Gary and Morna haven't sucked em all up ;)

[Mike Cross]

Awesome stuff..these small character sketches Guy is doing are really great..i've loved seeing every one of them.

Me too! I find his use of grey tonal markers very effective.

[gdeo]

great stuff guys!!!Guy is so talented!!:D

[Neil Hill]

Guy's artwork is the closest any of us will get to heaven while we're alive!! :D

Thanks for sharing the pics everyone.

Oh, speaking of; I'll have a few G. Davis beauties of my own to share in a few days. Links to follow...

[pimpernel]

Niiice. I love that pic of Daryl. :D

Several Guy Davis beauties recently added to my CAF Gallery. Thanks for being such an incredibly gifted artist, Guy!

[gdeo]

great pieces neil!:D

[Mike Cross]

Love those pieces..Guy is on fire

[gary bolt]

Red Raja! Awesomeness.

Those sketches are great. I love Guys work with the grey tone markers.

http://www.comicartfans.com/Images/Category_14838/subcat_29297/GDavis%20Liz%20sketch.jpg
This may be the archetypal Liz drawing. I love it.

[morna]

awesome! I love the red raja and that Liz is really stunning but I think the Darryl is my fave of those. The colouring is really gorgeous and the snowy sky makes it all the more poignant. Good scores Neil and lovely work Guy!

[Neil Hill]

Thanks for the compliments on the pieces, guys! Strangely enough, I always feel self-conscious about accepting praises for pieces I didn't create, but merely own. Regardless, Gary I completely agree with you on that Liz piece. The day it arrived in the mail I was ecstatic!

Nice collection ,
Night wing and plague of frogs are great. :D

[pimpernel]

Nice... he even made Nightwing look cool. :eek:

[gary bolt]

Hey! check out my Guy Davis Gallery!

http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=26489

Thanks for sharing, lobster! You have some pages that capture some pivotal moments in the BPRD story. It's always great to see these familiar pages in black and white. I find the Garden of Souls page with the progression from Langdon to Abe very effective without colour.

[lobster_johnson]

You have some pages that capture some pivotal moments in the BPRD story.

Thats the exact reason i bought them! thanks!!

[gdeo]

that nightwing is out of control....nice pages !!!

[Mike Cross]

Just cause i wanted to once again reiterate how great Guy is..(temp frame and temp cover to issue 4 until i buy another copy without the price tag from my local shop as the sucker didn't want to come off without tearing...)

[gdeo]

Bad A$$!!!:d

[THE REAL kirk]

Mike, that looks great! Beats the hell out of my pages duct-taped to the wall!

Ha..I keed...I don't have any pages! But what a nice way to display them; really elevates the artwork to the specialness that it is. Well done, sir. Well done.
