I mainly read comics from the 70s to the 00s, but Marc Silvestri's recent Batman book is one of the few comics in recent years that piqued my interest. I consider him to be the greatest of the founding Image artists, and I he's only gotten better since then.

No problem. I felt like something fun and simple might be a good diversion from all the bad news. It's hard not to watch that stuff and then it can start to really weigh on you..so a little simple art video is hopefully a good diversion.

I wish they made artists editions from these late 90's period, to me the draftsmanship from this time was the highest we've ever seen but people have this bad option of 90's comics because of the stigma created in the early 90's not realizing that they're missing on some really really good art. Joe Weems inks deserve more praise but all Top Cow inkers were really good.

You're back? I don't use IG since the platform is absolutely terrible, youtube is easier to keep up with the updates. As for Cartoonist Kayfabe, it hit people hard because they have been putting videos every single day and now it's gone, I personally grew out of the channel but was still subscribed, he never broke kayfabe, even in the end he was still in character. I did read his last words and he made a decision that was too rushed with permanent emotional damage for his family and specially for Jim Rugg, I never imagined this outcome, very surreal and unexpected. The dangers of social media aren't taken seriously,

I had been trying to find the time the last month or so. I did upload a video on the fly this past Sunday and then had been trying to get another one done I liked. But they all felt too "inside" and not really a good video for just people who want to see some art. Yeah that whole situation was something I don't think anyone could imagine. Thanks Farben.

@@RichardFriendartist I made another IG account some time ago but your new stuff doesn't show up on the timeline, lots of ads do though. That's something to take in mind that these platforms aren't pushing the new posts to the top because we can't sort by new, Facebook big appeal to me was that you could sort by new, not anymore.

Silvestri is the artist Rob Liefeld wanted to be but failed miserably. Imho new x-men 151-154, which was written by grant morrison, was Marc Silvestri's best work. Not that I don't like the rest of his work his pages always amazing to look at.
