I love how Dan Kemp colored this cover. Especially i'm going crazy for the girls in the capsules . I have a couple of italian edition of Kiss Psycho Circus comics and i think Dan kemp is a "maestro".

[Jason Crawley]

Thanks Max! Yeah Dan created an awesome look to the cover which complimented Jeffs art so well..I too love the color effects on the capsules and then the added red glow in the vent above..great detail.

...and Jeff Austin too of course. Did you know how Brian Bridgeforth did the painting of Bloke? It has an amazing pictorial style. I don't understand if he used Photoshop or Painer.

[Jason Crawley]

I'm not sure what Brian used for this effect..i know he's a big fan and user of photoshop like the rest of us so i imagine he worked his wonders in that..this is the first of a Bloke inspired gallery he is doing for the Annual including an intro page...i felt this one would work great as the back cover and i'm looking forward to seeing the rest of his work for the project.

You can check out more work by him and his wife Marie over on their website..there seems to be no end to their artistic talents!

Great Team Bloke! You are a talent scout.
I had never seen Rob Brown,. So i had follow your link, GREAT! Very inspired classics horror comic style.
Jake Despotovich. I saw once time ago in one on my web trips but i didn't remember his name. More unic than rare! I feel he devellopped a own personal dark style very charming.
Brian Bridgeforth: i saw the video you signed me. Gosh! We both use the same "modus operandi" ( as most of the colorist i guess); the results are different, of course.
You will do great stuffs whit this guy!!!

[Jason Crawley]

Thanks Max!
I'm sure this will be a great project with so many talented people involved..I hope my writing can somewhat match the artistic brilliance that will be present lol

Just added the final artist link at the top of the thread..another great artist from Italy, Alessio Nocerino has come onboard for the Annual.
