The artist in me is compelled to comment that the cropping on the second
Widow piece is unforgivable.
As Frank Miller used to say, "How about we teach the new kids how to crop
figures properly by cropping them the way they crop their figures?"

That foot would fit, wouldn't it? I mean, I can see it if I try hard enough. It is a nice piece though, and that Widow outfit was always my favorite.

Heya guys,
Just got this from Chris Stevens. This is the first time he has ever inked with a brush.

I think the remaining leg and foot wouldn't fit, given the perspective of the shot. The artist realized this and cropped. Why, I can't possibly imagine. I think anyone would make a doodle drawing to make sure it fits the paper and then fully pencil it.
As for the Wolverine above, I think the inking is phenomenal, especially since it's his first brush effort!!!

William,
Love that Galactus! Giarrusso is approaching the "Hembeck Zone" where I would say every art collector should own a piece by him! He's consistent, quick, easy to deal with and affordable. I look forward to adding another Giarrusso to my collection soon!

Joe,
Looking at your CAF page it seems we have similar taste in artist. You sir, must be a very outstanding and intelligent person.

Have to echo the lov efor that Galactus piece, William. It's simply awesome (in a very funny kind of way).
I know I've seen a couple of pieces by Chris Giarrusso in here before, but I'm not really familiar with his work. What has he done in terms of comics so far?
