Alex Ross Art 2020 Documentary |

[@grandisonarts182]

A video from Alex Ross that lasts longer than 2 minutes. Dreams really do come true.

[@vandals4873]

for real! i needed this

[@positiveproductions6699]

I hope in the future every now and then we can get more videos like this from him this is awesome

[@billysitompul2704]

Actually he has made another long video

[@jonathangoode546]

This is just astonishing his artwork is. SO ALIVE . So unique .

[@minhaj_khan]

I really admire Alex's honesty and down to earthness. Despite the romance of creating fantastical superheroes, he keeps his talk real, but with a great deal of respect and passion. And this quality comes across in his work, which I think is what makes it so endearing

[@sto4713]

Kingdom Come was such beautifully illustrated. I remember when it first came out it was something that made you stop in your tracks. He is amazingly gifted.

[@randynewburg2604]

I was awed and privileged to meet Alex on a snowy, late April day in 2019 at the opening of his Marvelocity exhibit in the Bess Bower Dunn Museum of Lake County in Libertyville, IL. By some underserved but welcome stroke of serendipity, my wife's brother married the daughter of one of Alex's favorite teachers from the American Academy of Art in Chicago. Not in this lifetime did I imagine I would meet my favorite artist, and it's still hard to believe my luck in meeting and spending the afternoon with him and many of his friends from the Academy. Alex radiates brilliance, not only in his art, but in his encyclopedic knowledge of the history of comic books and comic book characters. One of the most cherished and memorable days of my 68 years on the planet. My bucket list is complete.

[@samfrito]

I am glad you had this opportunity and shared it. I can't imagine it all, but I am sure you had a smile throughout that afternoon that told everyone present life is worth living til the very last moment for the surprises and joys.

[@scottmoore1614]

Always great to meet your heroes! I got to meet Frazetta once.

[@randynewburg2604]

@@scottmoore1614 SWEET!!! Frazetta was AMAZING!

[@ardenaudreyarji]

Kingdom Come is one of those “The stars have aligned” kind of deal. Alex & Mark made a magnum opus.

[@jgatzby7798]

Kingdom Come still remains over 25 years later as the greatest comics series I’ve ever read. A true masterpiece, Mr. Ross

[@forbiddencolor]

Alex Ross' art is the definitive "live action" adaptations of these characters. His pieces bring these worlds to life in ways that film has yet to achieve and probably never will.

[@562wiseguy]

Best artist in the business as far as I'm concerned.

[@dead0ntime]

rusty rosas I wouldn’t go that far. He’s definitely one of the best artists, top 20 at least but I don’t think of him when I think of what comic book art should be.

[@calebwitts1232]

We need a superhero movie with an Alex Ross aesthetic

[@Matthew-ve7uv]

"Should be"? What, you mean how it has traditionally been? I see no "should" there, just a conservative and restrictive mind. It "should" be great, and Ross's art is

[@scottmoore1614]

Caleb Witts An animated film in his style would be amazing.

[@cheaptoons]

I’ve been loving this guy for 23 years and he’s still amazes me always 💪🏾⚡️🤘👍💥🤙🏾💯

[@xerxespunsalang5246]

Alex Ross has that magic touch that gives life to fictional characters. Simply awesome!

[@jokoney9318]

To be honest, my dream comic would be a New Gods story with art by Alex Ross. If you don't love his art then, well, I don't know what to say.

[@mr.dccomics9018]

Dude, now you are taking my language.

[@nuttypotatoe1210]

@@mr.dccomics9018 you forgot the L in talking brother. Might wanna fix that.

[@JeremiahDerby]

Alex Ross doing New Gods would be a treat!

[@chrisingram5777]

You just blowed my mind dude, my mortal mind couldn't handle that much awesome!

[@NYCTO7]

Alex Garner's art is a good alternative if they dont want Ross to do New Gods

[@JimShadyUK]

The Snow White painting at 13:04 is extraordinary. I know all the artwork is, but there's something about that one that I find incredibly compelling.

[@Thomas-fy9yc]

This man is the Superman of art...humble yet undeniable as the greatest comic artist in a generation.

[@acerjuglans383]

It never occurred to me how much Alex has become a historian, of not only comic books but just pop culture.

[@petermot645]

Thank you again Alex, please don’t stop painting. COVID-19 will not stop comic book making, so please keep creating and sketching.

[@owlontheprowl1657]

Kingdom come absolutely changed me. As a Superman aficionado this moved me into another reality. This is my favorite version of Kal El and for me the most relatable. From the different "S" symbol to the older disillusioned graying Superman. I even love how you give us a glimpse of him in the far future looking like a very old saint nick ( to me) Mister Ross you are the Monet of this art form. Im a 56 year old man and one of my goals is to have an original Alex Ross Kingdom come Superman hanging in my yet to be purchased home in my not yet decorated man cave

[@steffendass4169]

I wish this was 2 hours long. Thank you for doing this, Alex.

[@VestigialVoice]

While images are only a single frame, your paintings convey the rich emotion of the characters throughout an entire moment. Truly exceptional artwork, Alex! A++

[@allluckyseven]

Just watched the whole thing. Thank you Alex and crew who put this together, I've always wanted to see an extended interview with him. Just having the guy talk as much as possible about his art and vision for the characters he likes and gets to work with is fantastic. This goes beyond that, thus as a fan it's truly awesome. I think I'm gonna leave this playing in the background for days to come.

[@Larkitect_]

Love his art. Especially his work on the Gatchaman box set.

[@TheJereld]

I loved this! Always wanted a AR documentary. I would like a series but Alex is so simple and modest in his answers I don't think you need a series. He sums himself up pretty good here. What's there left to say. He is the best. Love Alex!

[@hectortoledo8855]

Art work at a very detailed microscopic level, very detailed work I wouldn't even be surprised if this type of detailed work would be at that price range.

[@Cyranowan]

Thank for that push to survive and to buckle down

[@jacksondavis6327]

You got me into art. Your work in the second spiderman movie grabbed and held my attention more than the movie itself

[@dk7934]

Perez, Adams, Golden, Bolland, Kirby, Frazetta, Newton, Windsor-Smith, Steranko, Garcia Lopez, Lee, Kaluta, Moebius, Wood Byrne, Eisner, Ditko, Miller, Starlin etc. All these guys are incredible. But Alex Ross is by far the greatest artist ever to work in the comic book industry. This guy's work is legendary.

[@JuanFlores-wx8ds]

I remember buying the Marvels series at a local Lubbock TX comic shop. The guy at the store sold me an Alex Ross signed #2 Marvels, said he didn't have anything that certified it but he said Alex used to buy from this shop. That was good enough for me. Alex Ross, greatest of all time.

[@nemisysone]

Love this documentary! All of Alex Ross' art is spectacular!!!

[@rogersilva5779]

finally hopefully this is really a long documentary

[@e-cuauhtemoc]

29 minutes isn't very long.

[@vborovikov]

@@e-cuauhtemoc it's 8 Ross hours long

[@DOCDOCFLAMINGOS]

Ummmmmm well you could have easily seen that the running time for video was actually 29 min and 15 sec.. so I'm not sure if that's considered long, None the less not sure it was a comment that needed to be made!!

[@TragickHipHop]

FINALLY an Alex Ross video longer than like 3 minutes... A MASTER of the craft and one of the GOATS👑.. Not sure how someone can dislike this.

[@allisknu11]

I can watch and listen to these videos and stories daily. Thank you for sharing.

[@evanabbott2737]

Alex Ross has always been my favorite comic book artist. I had single issues of “Marvels” as a kid, and was fascinated by all the beautifully drawn characters.👍

[@Va1n3r]

Alex is the GOAT.

[@shawnstayner7450]

Thanks for your time and work! My favorite artist of my time.

[@johnloen113]

Thank you Alex!

[@stukavonferno8858]

Fantastic video from an absolute master of his craft, thank you.

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

A modern Master...

[@junkboxhero4825]

I have his hardcover coffee table book, "Rough Justice" (2010) such a great book. I also have a copy of a Wizard magazine from the 90s that was dedicated only to him that has his painting of Danny DeVito as Wolverine in it. Such an amazingly talented artist. OH, and his Anthrax album covers? Incredible!! For All Kings!!

[@adambrooks828]

THANK YOU for finally uploading one that's not too short! Great doc!

[@robertoclemente7066]

Gorgeous work! Big fan!

[@samfrito]

Certainly one of the best reasons to have subscribed is hearing him speak about his work while you see his rendering skill in action. Very nice.

[@maryduarte3248]

Alex you are awesome drawer. Because I like your style my. Favorite superhero character is. Superman and xmen characters

[@Halfscreen]

I have been a fan of your work for so long, being a comic book artist is hard work and can be taxing, especially when meeting a tight deadline.

[@maximusaurelius9906]

Since were talking dream comics, mine would be a 12 issue run of Captain America with art by Alex Ross, not just covers. The run should include some all time cap favorite friends and foes like the Red Skull, Falcon, Baron Zemo, Sharon Carter, Cross Bones, Nomad, Batroc the Leaper, Task Master, Sin, Namor, Winter Soldier, etc..

[@ThatYoungGuy4]

This is my art Dad....the advice @18:20 slapped me in the face w/ pure facts of life

[@Pyke_]

when I read "Marvels" as a kid back then, that was the first time that a comic book art took my breath away

[@mightisright]

Because it brought comic book art to the real world.

[@scottmoore1614]

“Marvels” is my personal fav. I like it even better than “Kingdom Come”.

[@evanabbott2737]

Mine too! I never saw anything like that...👍

[@Thogstacker]

All right! Can't wait!

[@henryjaremek2644]

Alex , Thank You so much for making this video , I know what you mean , some of the comics that you had when you were a kid , hold a special place in your heart , kind of chiseled in your soul , some corny shit there .. lol.. But it's true . Your age determines the eras of comics that you were exposed to , I was born in 65 , so I was collecting Marvel comics since 1972 to 1995-ish ..Do you remember seeing the all the Marvel Treasury Editions for the first time ,( # 9 , Giant superhero team-up, my favorite ), or the 1960's Marvel cartoons .. ( Cap, Hulk , Iron man, Namor , Thor ).. sad animation , but I still loved them & I had no idea at the time that they were based on the old comics . Cool surprise for later., I remember getting " Bring on the Bad Guys " for Christmas , I love all those old B&W mags , Savage Sword , Monsters Unleashed, Deadly Hands of Kung Fu , Vampire Tales , Tales of the Zombie,.. etc..etc..those old Rampaging Hulk magazines , the two issues vs Namor .. very cool , + Jim Starlin sneaking in some cool covers as well . , Alex .. you should maybe revisit the old Savage Tales & Kull & the Barbarians B&W magazines , good inspirational content in those mags ( actually , not too many issues as well ) . I'm sure you're a fan of Frank Frazetta as well , nothing wrong with looking at his art books once in a while . If I was the " Boss " , I would want Alex Ross to do reproductions of some old covers , not just the famous ones but " kick ass " covers , for example .... Giant Size Man-Thing # 1 , ( Mike Ploog) , Amazing Spider-Man # 129, ( 1st app. of the Punisher ) , John Buscema's Silver Surfer #4 & # 14 ( Thor , Spider-Man ).Werewolf by Night , The living Mummy , Kull , Killraven , Deathlok , Jungle Action, .. I'm sorry ... I can go on & on .. but I think I already have ...lol

[@evanabbott2737]

That would be amazing....he’d do such a great job.👍

Finally a documentary that lasts more than 2mins 😄😄. Great stuff👍👍👍👍

[@felixheimke2480]

Just amazing artwork!

[@mottahead6464]

Kingdom Come was and still is the greatest graphic novel ever published. It took all those classic characters and brought them up to a narrative level that was more nuanced and mature than anything comic book readers had been exposed to at the time.

[@gameofyou1]

I have 2 awesome Alex Ross lithographs (Avengers and JLA) custom framed in my reading room. My favorite artist!

[@lotsalube]

I got the fantastic four#1 poster(painted over by Alex Ross)-it's great.

[@RayfieldA]

Amazing! I'm glad to have met you some 20 years ago at SDCC and you signed my Kingdom Come hardcover! I would love to see a full theatrical film with Your art style in smooth animation! I guess it would have to be done in 3D but it Must resemble your art style as much as possible! I'd love to be involved with That!

[@markherman1211]

Just picked up my first Ross piece. Pretty excited to hang it.

THE BEST...

[@kirtanvaghadia2082]

That, was so cool!

[@francisdubem5084]

Kingdom come is one of my favourite all time comics. I love superman.

[@4Recreational_Use_Only]

The parts about working as an artist and combating burnout are words of wisdom worth listening to. I know what Alex talks about on a personal level and actually switched a career in commercial art into something else just to save my love for drawing and painting. Deadlines and "the trenches work" you deed to do can kill your enjoyment so you need to be sure you want art to be your job and not just a fond hobby. I'm happy "just" panting in my free time. :-)

[@shawnclubb5403]

Very cool video. Thank you. It's always cool to see your work.

[@Jaco534]
