Mark Texeira is one of those artists who has managed
to "define" Vampirella with his art. Creating both covers
and interior art for the Harris editions, Mark's work is distinctive
and stunning.
Well known and respected in the industry, Mark has produced a wide
range of comic book (and other) related art (even beermats!).
How much he is respected was recently shown when Harris Comics
were looking for artists to produce the cover for issue #1 of the
2005 Vampirella Revelations
series. Two covers were produced, one by the legendary José
Gonzalez and the other by Mark!
Best known for his painted work, Mark can also produce some stunning
pencil work, and I consider myself very fortunate to have an original
pencil sketch of his. I can say without reservation that no matter
how good his art looks on screen or on the pages of a comic book
it does not compare to the vibrancy of holding the original in your
hands!
Without doubt, Mark Texeira is in my all time top
ten of Vampirella artists! |
