Mark Schultz: Portfolio, The Complete Various Drawings

Argumento

A compelling showcase spanning seven transformative years.

During an impressive period—2005 through 2012—Mark Schultz turned his attention to producing a body of personal works and private commissions, focusing on subjects about which he feels most passionate. Among them are characters and tableaux pulled from mythology, science-fantasy and pulp adventure. In addition, there are many examples of Schultz’s commercial works done for comics, film and books.

Portfolio compiles the drawings found in the original five Various Drawings volumes as well as the cover illustrations and special bookplates. Plus, an additional 160 pages worth of material adds dozens of works not previously collected in the Various Drawings or the Carbon book series. Found within are nearly 450 fully rendered drawings executed in a variety of media. In addition, Schultz shows his process with a wealth of preliminary sketches done for a range of projects, including his Storms at Sea illustrated novella. Add to this rare sketchbook material and Schultz’s increasing exploration of color, and you have one fascinating portfolio!
