Artwork by Wes Flanary
A little background: I've created traditional art over the years in various forms and mediums, mostly landscapes and portraits of both people and pets. Along with experimenting with landscape styles, I did a portrait series of 30s and 40s movie starlets for practice. After seeing the Ghosts of Old Hollywood series, a friend and gallery owner asked me to do some pieces for a Halloween show in that same style but with classic monsters from the old Universal horror movies. The owner of a comic book shop, that also runs comicons in North Carolina, bought my version of The Creature from the Black Lagoon and suggested I try the Artist Alley at one of his events. That suggestion opened a whole new world of pop culture and fan art. It's been a blast.
I haven't written off Galleries, but I love the one-on-one interaction and reactions at a live event. I bring the original paintings, drawings and fine art prints done in a style that brings them to life by capturing personality and emotion of the character.
You can take your pick of styles from below but feel free to browse through it all. Thanks.
