Kurt is really excellent. His style is classic without looking dated; it has all that was good in silver age art. I really like the nefarious trio up there as well as the Thor vs Hulk piece; both make me want to read the comic they’re from (if such comics existed)!

I tried to get Kurt to draw with his feet. He said “NO”. I owe so much of my drawing talent to the direction of this man.

I’ll try to post the Hourman pic on my art thread in the next couple of days.

Love that Batman. I wish I could see this wonderful colored Hourman drawing Kurt did again…I had it as my desktop for several months. I think I lost my copy of it in a computer crash, though.

My favorite is the old-school Batman at the bottom.

I dig his Batman and the Vulture/Spidey pic.

Very classy silver age-y looking artwork. The three dimensional construction of the characters is just so tight and neat. I think that’s my favourite thing about old school drawing styles like this. There’s a really substantial feeling to the characters that makes them dynamic.

Actually, I draw holding the pen in my teeth. I was delighted that Brian didn’t mention that fact and I forgive Dan for bringing it up. He’s just a young’n, after all, and don’t know any better.

You should mention the most amazing part of Kurtâ€™s talent. You know, the fact that he doesnâ€™t use his hands.

…?

He draws with his feet?

Regardless of what he uses, those are some mighty fine sketches. He has a great, silver age style.

I was looking at this on the boards the other day.

It’s really quite good.

Sorry if I blew it. The work does stand on it’s own, absolutely, but I think it’s worth pointing out, in this era of lightboxers and other shortcuts, that someone like Kurt is doing it the hard way, and looking just as good, if not better.

I sorta wanted the work to stand on its own, but yes, that is quite amazing.

That is pretty good stuff. I wish my ballpoint doodlings were in that league
