I caught Alex coming out of the restroom at WonderCon in San Francisco years ago and asked him to sign my issues of Marvels which he did. Sorry Alex.......but thank you so much. I still have them and love them.
It's refreshing to see a professional comic book artist using a traditional medium as most modern artists are using computers and/or tablets using manga studio and photoshop. It's so inspiring to watch.
@@overcomingsins6334 And as usual the piss-on-anything-other-people-praise contrarians have to leap into the TH-cam comments. Dude, no one said they don't have to adapt to the ages. He just said it's refreshing to see someone using a traditional medium.

"No challenge with something that's already popular" I love it. Bring the back ground to the front. Show us these other characters are cool too. Remind us why we loved them all to begin with. Bottom line inspire us all around. Awesome.
I want to say a big Thank You to the Norman Rockwell Museum. . I got to not only see Mr Ross art first Hand but I actually meet him in person at the MSV in Winchester VA. I would have never dreamed in million years that I ever get that chance. Thank you for making my dream come true. It is one of the greatest experiences in my life. Especially since I live in very rural area. That is little less than 100 miles away from the exhibit and I have never had the chance to ever experience art first hand. Thank You and Thank Mr Ross for doing this. To everyone else if this exhibit comes anywhere near you please go and see it you will not regret it. Seeing his art online and it books does not do it justice compared to in person. When you can see extreme amount of detail that he puts into his art.
The great fantasy and comic artist are some the most underappreciated artists of all time... I will put Ross, Kunstler, Adams and Frazetta's art up against any of the world's most famous artists!
Thank you, Jesse Kowalski, Bill J. Killon and the Norman Rockwell Museum. It's so rare to see an interview with Alex this long (although, upon finishing it, I want more...) It was a real treat. I wish we could have a video of him making one of his pieces, talking while he does it... If he's the kind of artist that can do that.
@Jared Garcia Sorry If my comment misled you, I meant to say Drew Struzan!

It must be nice to have that . Your mother was an artist herself and it didn’t make you feel like you were doing anything weird or different because that’s what she was as well. In my family they all do music and I have no one to relate to , so I sorta envy you in that sense🤧
@11:35 true! @12:05 well not really, since Batman is a VERY thin and slender in the origins. Altho Batman had near superhuman strength he was still skinny and slender, yet Ross went against the origins and showed him as a thick beefcake. Also original has no eyes shown at all, yet Ross shows eyeballs. Also the origins of Batman was EXTREMELY "Bruce Lee" being about cunningness, speed, agility, and finesse. While Ross instead makes him about mass and brute force, zero finesse. So when it comes to falling back on the "origins" as he claims, he's far and away from the Batman, he does not present the loudest traits in the origins of Bats, and his image "does not resemble where it all began" as he ironically states @12:21. Those traits btw (No eyes, slim physique, speed+finesse) would STILL remain as Batmans primary and loudest traits for 30 years all the way up to Neal Adams and still 30 years AFTER Neal Adams as well...so basically ninety percent of his whole published existence. Thus stating that Ross's presentation of Batman simply does not at all reflect 90% of Batman's comics. When you think of Batmans comics you don't think of Ross's image or when you think of Ross's image you don't think of the Batman comics. With the GREATEST Batman artists of all time from Marshal Rogers to Infantino, to J Aparo, etc etc, Ross simply does not report the long time character's nature at all with his "anti-imagery". And "Anti" meaning his image is quite the antithesis or opposite of the Batmans long time character which is immensely successful, so it works. There's nothing wrong with it.
my mind just exploded. then the liquid pieces begins to create some sinapsis again, thinking about alex ross, glen fabry and simon bisley... if elon musk would take us to be an multiplanetary species, why in the name of all is sacred, this reunion can't happen?

What a gift to comics he has been.
Kingdom come is the single most influential piece of artistry to my life
Truly the best painter in comics. His homage to thr classic gold look of characters is more political than I expected. Very serious man and artist.

I wish this were longer.
I've waited 3 years just to watch him work. Thank you so much for this!
Does anyone know what kind of camera they use to make these videos? Very high quality video image. I want to record my art too.
"Over-baked potato" made my day!... Marvelous guy.
Wow, him mom was a great artist, too..!👍

So Amazing!
Alex Ross is incredible, reminds me a lot of Norman Rockwell actually, the painting style he brought to comics has been incredible. Thanks Alex
If he does movie posters, those movies would have exceeded box office sales
There's druzan!

1:38 that’s almost identical to my art style
You're on the right path then
A god like artist
Alex hasn't aged in 15 years! Also still dresses like it's the 90s.
Is there any style since the 90’s?
@@thelostmutant4143 Many.
I really want to see an artwork of Queen made by Alex Ross before I die...
Amazing work , sir Alex Ross
Simply the best.
Alex Ross is the best artist on earth jaw dropping .
AWESOME!!
I fully concur!!
Dude is amazing 🐐
Thank you for this. Your inspiration.
Fantastic

Wrong. Batman wasn't even close to "VERY thin and slender" in his Origins. He was average size and build at the very least.
