Looks Like The Producers at the Discovery Channel Read My Blog
Posted by A | Monday, November 25, 2013 | Allan Linder, Bear Grylls, Comic Book, Escape From Hell, Linder Sculpture, Maquette, Prisoner of the Mind, Prisoner of the Mind graphic novel, Sculpture, The End is Near
My TV viewing of choice is either the Syfy channel or one of the Discovery Channels, History Channels, ID etc... I happened to be watching something on Discovery and ran across an ad for the new Bear Grylls TV series Escape From Hell. What do you know, it has a striking resemblance to my character which was drawn almost 15 years ago, and more specifically my limited edition sculpture titled "The End is Near." That just goes to show you that nothing on the internet is safe. Good luck Bear!

Let the painting begin! I Just finished casting 10 pre-orders for the limited edition resin kit titled "The End is Near." I'm still working on the packaging, but should have the final kit ready for shipping next week. If you're interested in purchasing one email me at art@allanlinder.com. I am only making 20 copies and then the molds will be destroyed. The retail price is $99 + shipping. If you missed what this is all about, start here.

Basement Studio Clean Out!
Posted by A | Friday, November 08, 2013 | Allan Linder, Artist Studio, Comic Book, Graphic Novel, Linder Paintings, Prisoner of the Mind, Sculpture
Don't worry, I didn't forget about you. The basement studio I share with another talented artist was in desperate need of a clean out. (this is his side of the room) Sometimes you have to step away from the computer and focus on what's real. Anyway, these are the before shots of what we had to deal with. There was a lot of work to be done, including getting rid of an 18th Century coffin, moving all of my 100 or so paintings, and a room full of old silicone molds and sculpture.
It took a few weeks to repack everything and just to move stuff around.
I'll post some follow up photos of the work done down here soon. Stick around for more.
Obviously a bunch of unloved stretchers.
I also re-visited many of my old paintings that I haven't seen in years. Stored away in plastic, bubble wrap and cardboard, I had to let some of them out for a little while.
Part of a "Shock and Awe" series I did during wartime, which is pretty much all the time nowadays. (After Picasso)
Abstract album cover art.
Maybe i'll leave this one under the plastic sheets.

More of what hides in the dark. Drink it.

Gorilla Grodd for the new 52.
Going way back.
Meoww!
Gotta have a cemetery on Halloween.
An old illustration for a friends band "Robot Army" unfortunately it never saw the light of day. RIP Denver.
You want me to do what?
Smoke it.
I just need a hug.

Happy Halloween!

Celebrate what hides in the shadows.

Let the weirdness begin. In the spirit of the holiday that is upon us I will be posting some of my past artwork from various personal and professional projects that celebrate what hides in the shadows. Some scary and some, not so much. This first one is for a cover that I did for book coming out next year called "The Uncertainty".
Here's a panel out of a new title i'm working on.
It's dark in here. This is a rough back cover piece for a Sci-Fi story out in 2014.
I can't take it anymore. Just a rough sketch from my graphic novel that never saw the light of day until now.
Just a little something i'm working on for my next book.

Prisoner of the Mind, The End is Near limited edition resin kit
Posted by A | Monday, October 14, 2013 | Allan Linder, Character Design, Comic Book, Graphic Novel, Linder Sculpture, Maquette, P.O.M., Prisoner of the Mind, Resin Kit, Sculpture
Drum roll please... The resin kit is finally cast!
After months of work on and off, (click here if you missed the prior posts.) it's here. The following photos are of the resin castings, so you can see how well the detail came out. Obviously, i'll have to trim and patch the seams before I prime and paint it, but all in all, the casting came out perfect thanks to the help of my good friend Eli Livingston.

New York Comic Con 2013
Posted by A | Sunday, October 13, 2013 | Allan Liinder, Comic Book, David Messina, Geof Darrow, Graphic Novel, Jason Metcalf, New York Comic Con, NYCC, Prisoner of the Mind
It has finally arrived! I'm just one little head in a sea of people.
There are always a few costumes that make you smile.
...and then the hyper detailed ones.
Look at this packed house in the Artist Alley!
NYCC, is a mecca for very talented artists like Jason Metcalf.
...and David Messina.
Here's a shot of me and Geof Darrow, one of my personal favorite artists of all time. If you aren't familiar with his work, then you're missing out. He collaborated on a project in the 90's with Frank Miller called Hard boiled. If you want to see some insanely detailed artwork, you'll love this or Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot, and of course The Shaolin Cowboy. So far, I've had some great interaction with the release of my Graphic Novel. Can't wait for next year.
