    Wow, for some reason I thought Alex Ross was an old man. He’s only 54?! At 29 seeing his paintings my whole life I’m shocked the legendary ALEX ROSS is younger than my dad.

    • @Akhnatom
      @Akhnatom 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      Couldn't have said it better. With such a legendary career I expected a much older man.
      He can still do so much!

      I might be wrong, but I think he was doing the NOW Comics Terminator stuff when he was like 19 or 20. Joe Jusko got started super young, too--like high school.

    You guys need to start making a downloadable "Please excuse ______ _________ from doing anything productive on ______ for an hour and a half due to us dropping yet another must-see interview." Then it would have your signatures at the bottom. This would hold the same weight as a doctor's excuse for missing work.

    Alex Ross is a real class act. He has a lot of skill and he is polite.
    My fan casting of Reed Richards is the Proffesor from Gilligan's Island.

    Ross is a genius. And listening to his thought process helps reveal why. Creating his own sculptured figures to draw from is brilliant, especially when one realizes that he must then extrapolate from the 3D models to create a variety of human expressions which are consistent to the figure. But that aspect can only be imagined as it would be impractical to create a hundred different physical models to capture a range of emotions. When someone of such skill is also humble and witty it’s easy to wish them continued success.

    What a legend!
    Not only is he one of the greatest superhero artists ever but he can also nail the stories.
    His "Justice" series (with collaboration from Jim Krueger and Doug Braithwaite), is one of the best Justice League stories ever.

    You’re really stepping up your game in 2024. I mean Alex Freakin’ Ross! Great interview. The preliminary work he does before he starts to paint is remarkable. The guy is phenomenal. The channel is truly becoming the go-to place for those who love the art form.

  • @sergiorivera1656
    @sergiorivera1656 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

  • @williamcastonzo138
    @williamcastonzo138 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    First piece of Alex Ross art that ever made me sit up and go 'Damn' was the cover he painted for the Death of Superman novelization, PRE-Marvels. His style still hadn't quite formed! Second piece was that painted cover of long-haired Superman standing back-to-back with Keaton-looking Batman for the Wizard "Zero Hour" insert.
    No real point, just need to feel cooler than anyone else sharing the first Ross art they saw.

    You guys are getting all my heroes, I wondered when you'd get to Alex Ross, and it was worth the wait. Please get him as a returning guest, the Geoff Darrow/Alex Ross/Bill Sienkiewicz team up would be incredible. (You could even throw in David Choe just for the chaos)

    Yes please on that Fantastic Four Artists Edition! Maybe I’m the only one but I’d kill for an edition that’s just the line art. Also, somebody should tell Old School Uncle Alex he doesn’t need to use cameras with film anymore to take pictures of those sweet models he’s making! 😃🥁

    So awesome! Get this man on here more often. He's shockingly humble for being so immensely skilled. What he does is not easy. Also, hope Alex has a personal lawyer and accountant to keep all the financials on the up-and-up. I'd worry a bit for a famous artist who leaves all the business to their friends.

    Loved this interview, I've gotta really disagree with him about his comment on AI "fixing" old, low quality scans. I'm sure it's a more him being misinformed than anything, but that neural network guessing what your pen stroke looked like does not automatically restore the artwork. If anything, it compromises the artist work and turns it into something completely different, even if it's just a simple upscale, you lose that artists hand.
    Is he right about it being the future though? Yes, sadly.

    Once again you guys have made my Sunday morning!🎯 The one/two punch of Marvels and Kingdom Come is my intro to his amazing work! I met Alex in Toronto in 1994 ,very cordial,friendly fella! Uncle Sam is definitely at the top of my list of his accomplishments and with a ton of others to pick from! The recent FF HC was my swan song on the characters because I doubt anyone could top it! Alex ALWAYS brings his A game 👍🎯
