Time fer the next installment in my "Great Masters" series. Next on the platter, we have a sample of radish garnished Adam Rex, best served with a side of baguettes and clowns in trees. He is, perhaps, the only artist I like who works a lot in photoshop with a tablet as well as traditional illustration. When working traditionally, he uses oil paint on watercolor paper that's been given a few coatings of acrylic matte medium (this prevents the oil from seeping into the paper, which would ruin it forevers and evers.) I've tried this medium of work myself, and I must say I like it so far...though I would prefer to use a faster drying medium like liquitex or alkyd oils. For his linework, he either uses photoshop and a tablet, or good ol' ink and brush. When he inks traditionally, he uses just brush and ink, no pens. He has quite a style to him, though. His oils be sumptuous in color and texture, and his linework be fluid. He is the author and illustrator of the New York Times bestseller, Frankenstien Makes a Sandwhich, And other Stories You're Sure to Like, Because They're All About Monsters and Some of Them Are Also About Food. You Like Food, Don't You? Well, Alright Then, and possibly my favorite alien invasion book, The True Meaning of Smekday. He too, lives in Massachusets and has a backround in Magic the Gathering. In fact, he and Master Diterlizzi know each other. Fairly well. I'm detecting a pattern here....
