Ron just finished work helping out talented fellow artist and all around good fellow Pete Woods by handling the art on 11 pages of Superman: World of New Krypton #8. Pete has a unique and distinctive style that Ron does his best to match on his pages. The goal is to make the whole issue as seamless as possible. You can judge for yourself when the issue goes on sale next month. For now, here are a couple sample pages:
Ron’s art is featured prominintly in the new DC trade paperback Supergirl: Way of the World which collects a powerful story arc from the Supergirl series, including all of Ron’s issues to date on the title. It’s a handsome package!
Another fun project on Ron’s board at the moment is producing art for a project chronicling the history of the Green Bay Packers football team. The story begins in 1919, and calls for both grit and refinement to bring the story to life. Here are a couple of pages from the work-in-progress.
Ron has returned from another busy San Diego Con. The convention was full once again with reunions with old friends and co-workers and also meeting with long-time and new fans. Here are a few shots from the show– Ron at his “station” in Artists Alley, Ron with friends and fellow artists Dave Gibbons (Watchmen) and Mark Buckingham (Fables), and Ron with his daughter Lisa who flew from Boston to attend the show.
Ron will indeed be at the San Diego ComicCon again this year. He will be installed immovably at table space FF17 in hallowed Artist Alley, selling original pages and doing convention sketches. If you are at the show, he hopes you will come by and say Hello. A word to the wise: Artist Alley is an oasis of relative calm in the storm that is ComicCon.
