Andrei Bressan reimagines a Marvel classic



Andrei Bressan is a phenomonal artist. He recently did some work for the Wolverine Origins trading card series. I've been following his work for years on deviant art and he just keeps getting better. I contacted him immediately after seeing this on his website and decided to pull the trigger and buy it. How frickin cool is this piece? Well for starters it's got a new design for a younger looking Gambit costume. Check out the spade bandana he's wearing. Badass! Then check out the Barry Windsor-Smith Wolverine. Are you kidding me? That's insane. Keep your eye on this dude's work. He'll be popping up at Marvel in the next few years. He's too talented not to be. In addition he drew a quick sketch of the cajun on the outside of the package for me. A true professional. The colored print is done by Maiolo.

Jim Starlin Gambit #18 Cover added


I added the Gambit #18 cover by Jim Starlin to my collection today. The cover features Gambit, Deadpool, Bullseye, Sabretooth, Belladonna, and Batroc as chess pieces in the Assassination Game storyline. I can't get a good scan of it and my camera is broken. Talk about bad luck. In the meantime check out the image as it was taken with my phone.

Randy 'Rantz' Kintz and Derek Fridoulfs

I recently added two commissions/sketches to the Gambit Gallery.
The first is a commission of Gambit & Rogue done by Randy Kintz. Randy has worked on several indy publishers and has contributed art to Jason & The Argonauts, Warrior Angels, amongst others.



The second Gambit piece of art to be added is a sketch from Derek Fridolfs. Derek has a really cool unique animated sytle that is just a lot of fun. He is also an inker and is currently inking Detective Comics over Dustin Nguyen.
