I came across this photo/scan of an acrylic on canvas Anubis piece from Apr 13, 2008! I very much love the texture. I know we use the word “texture” for digital work, but it really is a misnomer when there is no actual texture from paints or substrate.

Mahmud Asrar’s Ororo Munroe / Storm
WOW! I’ve been out of comics buying for 15+ years now so none of the talent that has come up during that period is familiar to me in either work or name. This Storm piece came up on Bluesky in my feed this morning and I was blown away by it. Mahmud Asrar‘s work is…
Marion Bulot’s “Sorry Anubis, seems like your Osiris is broken.”
This is beyond beautiful to me. The forms are striking. The geometric lotus flowers create a great pattern throughout. If you don’t know, according the the story, Set killed his brother Osiris and dismembered the corpse up into various pieces. Osiris’ sister-wife Isis and sister Nephthys gathered up the remains and Anubis reassmbled and mummified…
Tetchist’s “Anubis + Akhenaten”
This artwork from 2011 is so very interesting, especially if you know the generally accepted history and story of Eighteenth Dynasty Pharaoh Akhenaten and his attempt to shift all of Egypt to the worship of a version of Atum-Ra called Aten. (Major bad craziness. It lasted less than 20 years.) The corpse crumbling in Anubis’…
Mindy Lee’s Endless
I recently discovered Mindy Lee’s art while looking for something else entirely. Her various colored pencil illustrations of various members of The Endless are so wonderful. (Destiny, Destruction, and Delirium seem to be absent. Not sure if she illustrated them or not yet.) Her Dream is sublime and her Despair… well… as unsettling as Despair…
Unexpectedly Great
It is indeed one of the greatest, and quite unexpected, things I’ve seen today! And those are MY New Teen Titans of the early 80’s! You kids today… you need to understand that the only reason any of the modern animated Teen Titans and Titans Go! shows even exist is because of how utterly phenomenal…
Harry Ekman
Yes. They are pure old school male fantasy. But I love a lot of the old WWII and later pin-up girl art and Harry Ekman did quite a few that were very risqué. NOTE: The caption is CLEARLY not original! (Would be funny if it was actually from the 1940s though!) Artist: Harry Ekman –…
In my head canon…
I love the real Golden Age Captain Marvel. I love the Golden Age Superman. I LOVE Kerry Callen combining to famous Golden Age comic covers into a new story. THIS is why The Marvel Family should have been merged into Earth-Two! Criminals can’t escape Supers or cap no matter where they escape to! Artist: Kerry…
BeckBeck (by Dariia Kasimova)Beck
An incredible image of Beck from Tron Uprising. Frankly, I’d rather see more Tron Uprising than the forthcoming Tron Ares film. This was the first piece of art from Dariia Kasimova that I’ve stumbled across. I then got lost her her galleries, especially her Instagram ones: https://www.instagram.com/kasimova_art/ She’s incredibly talented. I really dig her uncolored…
Krypto and Streaky
An amazing illustration of a more traditional Krypto, including Streaky the Super-Cat! I loves me some Krypto. I’ve always been apathetic to Streaky, Beppo, and Comet though. Artist: Jesse Rubenfeld – http://jesserubenfeld.net/
