I think they’re combined! I mean look at Bill Sienkiewicz – or even some of my stuff. You can see the use of abstract in it. Comic book artists, a lot of them, are real and true artists. The people who draw that line with fine art – they’re the ones that are pretentious. They’re defining themselves and defining me and people like me, and defining themselves against me and separate from me and us and them. You can’t get more pretentious than that. It’s a class system that’s entirely wrong because, again, look at Sienkiewicz’s stuff – you can take his frames and blow them up and it’s a whole other process, I think, because you’re not doing it solely to tell a story for a corporate company.

Reapers" (with John Arcudi, in Dark Horse Presents: Aliens, Dark Horse Comics, 1992, collected in Aliens Omnibus #3, 2008, ISBN 1-59307-872-2) Ali, ljudi moji, koga boli uvo za priču kada vidite šta radi ovaj Simon Bisley!!! Kakve su to boje, kakva teskobna atmosfera, kakvi bizarni likovi, koliko krvi, bujnih ženskih izazovnih tela... i naravno razbacani muževni polunagi sirovi Slaine! Malo je reći da sam oduševljena! Čista umetnost. Neko njegov crtež poredi sa crtežom B.Sienkiewicza, ali mene su neke table podsetile i na Frazettu. Nominated for "Best Graphic Album: New/First US Publication" Eisner Award, for Judgement on Gotham (with Alan Grant and John Wagner)My late husband was a devoted fan of 2000AD and knowing my interest in Irish mythology introduced me to Sláine the Horned God. He also felt that its feminist aspects would also appeal. He was right. Nominated for "Best Cover Artist" Eisner Award, for Grendel: War Child, Terminator, and Enemy Within

Batman/ Judge Dredd: Judgement on Gotham (with John Wagner and Alan Grant, 1991) ISBN 1-56389-022-4 Is there any distinction for you when it comes to labeling something as fine art in comics in terms of digital versus traditional mediums? King Shit! [laughs] No, it’s not necessarily weird. It’s not weird. Just sort of realizing that you’re a few more steps nearer the grave. Your life’s got to a point, to a degree. While still an art student, Bisley did a painting of a robot holding a baby in 1986 that a friend passed to Pat Mills, and inspired him to relaunch the ABC Warriors strip, with Bisley as artist, in 1987.”Kao što i Toppi-ja vredi kupiti pre svega zbog crteža, tako ne žalim ni što sam Slaine-a kupila. Moram priznati da je ovo jedno od najboljih Komikovih izdanja koje posedujem.

Especially when you take into account, again, even from the last time we talked , just how much of yourself you’re trying to put into your work. And when it becomes an unconscious stream of creation – A new edition of one of the most influential graphic novels ever – in incredible detail and at a scale never before seen! Sláine: The Horned God Anniversary Edition is coming in 2024.

Welcome to Berserker!

Well, what I’ve noticed is there’s a lot more new faces. Things have moved forward. So you get a lot of young faces now. I’ve become like the old guard. I’m one of the old guys, do you know what I mean? Oh all of the years. All of them. It’s always a bit like that. They used to bring beers and just put it on the table, and have a drink while I was drawing or painting. It was a great time. Always a good crowd and always a good time. Today, amidst my usual Panopticon Feed, I saw that it was the birthday of artist extraodinaire, Simon ‘Biz’ Bisley. It having been over a year since my last ‘Painting Metal’ blog entry, the time seemed ripe to post another. Bisley has been creating covers for metal albums for nearly thirty-five years, on top of playing in various metal bands himself. The man is one of us, sword-brothers. There’s one of the artists, Kim Jung Gi, that’s supposed to be here who passed away just a few days ago – On the other end of the spectrum for you… I found an interview from around – oh jeez – probably from ’93 or ’94 in Tripwire Magazine that was between you and Grant [Morrison] , talking about art – specifically fine art. And one of the first things that you say in this interview is that art is pretentious.

The cast also included Ayoola Smart as Niamh, Gemma Whelan as Medb/Megrim, and Stephen Hogan as chief baddie Lord Weird Slough Fegg. Simon was still in art school when a friend of his passed along an illo to Pat Mills at Fleetway Comics in the UK. The standard blurb goes something like this: I can imagine that if you still offered it people would absolutely still pay you in beer. They’d probably pay you in as much as the equivalent of your pricing if you requested it [laughs] My thanks to Penguin Random House U.K. Audio for a review copy via NetGalley of the unabridged audiobook edition of ‘Sláine the Horned God’ by Pat Mills. It is narrated by a full cast and has a running time of 2 hours, 47 minutes.That doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. Every single piece of art that anyone’s ever conscious of doing exists pretentiously, because you’re doing something to show people… I mean, how do you want to define pretentious? With brand new scans and in its oversized format, Sláine: The Horned God Anniversary Edition promises to bring one of comics’ greatest sagas to live in a way never before seen!
