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.
