Original Spider-Man art. This is gouache paint on 11โx15โ cold press water color paper mounted to illustration board and sealed with cold wax medium. Iโd like to gauge interest from buyers and see if this is a direction that I should pursue further. In the mean time Iโm open to offers.

21.07.2025 22:30 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Sometimes I study another artist's art, and notice all the little mistakes. I'm surprised they just leave the little mistakes. The artist is so arrogant, boldly unconcerned with imperfections, KNOWING the art will still be great as a whole. And they are RIGHT. I refer to these artists as "assholes".

I'm really, really excited by reading all the positive Superman reviews. It sounds like James Gunn nailed it.
