Stock Art by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez

sg
This is one of the last pieces from the giant pile o' stock art I received by a helpful Aqua-Fan (who must still remain anonymous), with Aquaman in a classic swimming pose, courtesy master illustrator Jose Luis Garcia Lopez.

I love this pose so much that, when it came time to pick a header for the Shrine, it was a version of this one I used. And I still love it!

    Nice.
    Rob, did you take this picture and make the Shrine logo, or did you find that version somewhere and co-opt it?

    russell-

    the art for the Shrine logo is from this ad for Masterlock.

    (posted the very first day of the Shrine!)

    ...whoever drew that ad obviously used JLGL's original piece as a template and then redrew it.

    Jose Luis Garcia Lopez made ANY character look fantastic! This artist defines the "DC Look" for me. It's a crime that he's not hailed as the greatest comic book artist ever (alongside Jim Aparo). A CRIME I say!
