From the Vault - Alan Davis Phoenix 1995

In 1995 I was working for Marvel Comics doing airbrush coloring over a variety of different artists and images. I would do covers for advertising, trading cards for marketing, and even Pizza Hut drinking glasses for merchandising.

I was painting a lot of stuff for Marvel Comics.

This is a piece that I painted over one of my hero's, Alan Davis', art. It's Phoenix, a Marvel character, done by a Marvel artist, and painted by me, a Marvel painter.

But, this piece was not a piece I did for Marvel Comics. This is a piece I did all on my own.

How do you know you love your work? When, at the end of the day and the paying work is done, what do you do? Well, the same thing.

But this time, for fun.
