The Art of Simon Bisley

Product Information

I was about to say, IP probably makes that really difficult. Like working with pre-established characters and histories and all that pressure must add a layer of conscious expectation. I can see that, sure. Its beauty is being made a focus instead of simply being beautiful. I get that. Kao što i Toppi-ja vredi kupiti pre svega zbog crteža, tako ne žalim ni što sam Slaine-a kupila. Moram priznati da je ovo jedno od najboljih Komikovih izdanja koje posedujem.

On the other end of the spectrum for you… I found an interview from around – oh jeez – probably from ’93 or ’94 in Tripwire Magazine that was between you and Grant [Morrison] , talking about art – specifically fine art. And one of the first things that you say in this interview is that art is pretentious. Uniting the tribes would also bring together their greatest weapons but would also lead Sláine on a journey of exploration as he meets with the Earth Goddess to learn more about the past, when Goddesses ruled the earth, and about the relationship of the tribes to her. His discoveries would lead him to not only to become the High King, but to become the new Horned God. The Horned God is not only the 'husband' of the Earth Goddess, but also means he has to replace the old Horned God, which turns out to be Slough Feg, who is suppose to have died at the end of his reign, but clings on to life, driving him insane.

With AI…I mean it’s just funny isn’t it? It’s amazing, sort of. Just a program on a computer. And after I’ve created something it’s no longer mine really anyway. But in the end my style came from Frank Frazetta, Bill Sienkiewicz, Richard Corben, Michelangelo, all these people. I can imagine that if you still offered it people would absolutely still pay you in beer. They’d probably pay you in as much as the equivalent of your pricing if you requested it [laughs]

It's a mixed bag in many ways, both good and bad. Sometimes the sudden shift in tone are hilarious and work excellently for the story, and sometimes they are just that, abrupt jokes that make you cringe. At times you can almost feel the grandeur of the legend being told and at times you've no idea what is happening and why, where it's all leading to and what happened before.Won "Best Original Graphic Novel" UK Comic Art Award for Judgment on Gotham (with John Wagner and Alan Grant) Well, I don’t know. It depends where the land lies legally. I mean, if they can make a living out of it, that’s kind of wrong. They’ve taken 35 years of my hard work to come up with something and they just press a button and just create these images. I think there’s something illegal there, without a doubt, because they’re using my process in a roundabout way. Even without me. AD ( ABC Warriors): ##555-558, 563–568, 577-581 (1988); ( Sláine): #626-635, 650–656, 662–664, 688-698 (1989–90); ( Judge Dredd) #1068 (1997) Well..it’s all art. Clearly it’s another form of art; it’s another tool. You’ve got to live with the fact that this is the way it’s going, and it’s the way things have progressed. I don’t regard digital as fine art as much as I would physical art with a traditional medium. I like digital, but when it comes to an original piece – the first of something – then I say, “Well, why am I staring at a print?” Sorry, mate. I’m not interested in print as the original. I want to see what else happened in it first.

The fourth collection of the adventures of Sláine, the Celtic warrior, this one follows his trials and tribulations as, after becoming king of his tribe, he now proposes to gather and unite the tribes of the Earth Goddess under a High King to fight off the twin threats of enemies from the north (the monstrous Fomorians) and the south (the drunes armies lead by the Lord Weird Slough Feg).

Imala sam osećaj da mi treba pomoćni papir da pribeležim gde je ko i šta je ko. Međutim, ispostavilo se da polako sve dođe na svoje kako radnja odmiče. Problem je verovatno i što nisam čitala ništa od priča koje ovoj prethode. Duncan, Randy; Smith, Matthew J. (2013).

According to the Comic Book Database, "while still a student, Bisley did a painting of a robot holding a baby that he sent to the offices of 2000 AD. The image was seen by Pat Mills and inspired him to relaunch the ABC Warriors strip, with Bisley as artist, in 1987". [2] He started with work on ABC Warriors in 1987, later moving to Sláine and Judge Dredd. [3]

A brief word on another character who almost steals the show from our hero - Slaine’s nemesis Weird Slough Feg, squatting within his noisome ‘mystic aura’. With a Yoda-like turn of phrase, denoting extreme age and anachronistic speech patterns, he has some of the best lines you’ll read in any comic anywhere: Slaine is a book of contradictions: it's beautifully crafted, filled with precise artwork of horrors and carnage, and then there are rushed pictures with the character's faces contorted in amusement. It tells an epic tale of conquest and gods and goddesses and there's a horny dwarf that wants to bang the women. It's both a history and a tale already told in destiny, and there are meta-level joke about making the story.

They’ll have to. Someone came up to me a few days ago and she says, “Simon?” I said, “What?” She said, “Have you got a lawyer?” I said, “Why?” She explained to me what’s going on with all of this. And I think we’ll all be affected by it at some point, because once they use my name, they’ll want to use people like… Again, Bill [Sienkiewicz]. I cite Bill a lot, I know, because Bill represents to me that kind of fine art, unpretentious style. years old, me. It’s about time, don’t you think? I’ll be about 80 and on my deathbed and still going, ‘It’s about time I grew up now.’
