NEWS: STAR WARS VISIONS

For the first time EVER Alex Ross will be painting an image from Star Wars, that's correct, the image you see on the left is part of the upcoming book Star Wars: Visionsin which they have asked many well-known illustrators and artists to give us an image of what star wars means to them and of the characters they love the most. Among these artists we have H.R. Giger, Boris Vallejo & Julie Bell, Moebius, our very own Alex Ross and many more.
This book will be out later this year. It's great if you're a fan of Alex's art or Star Wars or both like myself.

NEWS: NOSTALGIA DIGEST COVER

Steve Darnall, publisher of Funny Valentine Press and Nostalgia Digest magazine, contacted this site to alert all the fandom of this cool new cover by Alex Ross.
Nostalgia Digest is a magazine which takes on the wonderful task of reinvigorating and making relevant again, the Golden Age of radio, movies, TV and comic books.
You might remember Mr. Darnall as the writer of that awesome Vertigo/DC Uncle Sam miniseries with Alex Ross. The cover art features a combination of Uncle Sam with famous radio personality Norman Corwin, who will turn 100 years old next month. Gotta love these guys' effort to preserve what is truly a Golden Age we could all learn from. Thanks Steve for chronicling and keeping that post-war era alive and well to this day.
