Top-10 of 2015 Relativity ArtWhat struck me the most this year was that there was less new art in the gallery than previous years (though admittedly, still quite a bit). More importantly, there was a lot of different art. There were two reasons for this: #1 - Finances were spotty. While we budget out money for art as a business/marketing expense, there were still periods where we couldn't afford to get much. #2 - The need for canon art diminished this year. While we still love getting art in various styles, it's not as important to get pictures of the heroes (or villains) as often. We ended up concentrating on cover-art, group-shots, and black-and-white illustrations. The different was the uptick in art for alternate-universe pieces. We commissioned, and were gifted, quite a few pieces for our various cross-overs and collabs. So, while normally sticking with canon-only art, this year we had nearly as much AU work, so we decided to tweak things a bit.
So, without further ado, m
Thank you for your awesome work on our series.

He looks determined and stubborn - it is probably useful for his line of business.

I've already told you how much I love this, but I'll tell you again. It's amazing. The lighting is wonderful, and the face it is perfect. The noir feel to the piece is perfect. It's always exciting to create a character and have an art piece hit so close to the mental image. This truly is a spectacular piece and I'm excited to have it as a part of our gallery. Again, many many thanks for all of the wonderful work you have done for Relativity

Thank you too! I think I've said before that I take pride in every commission I do but sometimes there's one that makes me especially proud. A cool character concept is always a big part of this so thanks for the chance to draw this guy. (Or maybe it's just the fedora…

Fedoras rock. I was in a Target the other day and walked into the hat sections. Trilbies as far as the eye could see. I gasp...and thought of you (thinking you would gasp, too).
