Artist's Comments
When I was a kid, I saw the Superman films with Christopher Reeve and was literally lifted to a new level of imagination. Whatever your feelings about the films now, they were groundbreaking. Not only in the area of special effects, but in opening the door to the superhero genre that continues today.
In this painting, the son of the planet Krypton stands in the cold solitude of the North Pole. His Fortress of Solitude bristles its crystal spires in the distance. He's taking a breather from the hectic business of saving human beings from themselves. This is fan art. Part of the background polar landscape is based on a stock image by  Comments Maybe u gonna make a Joker from Batman?
 Hmm, possible. . .
-- "He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god." --Aristotle, Politics  Oh Christopher Reeve! Love this!! Groundbreaking indeed! Love superman, one of my many favorite superheroes! It was great to find this today, you did a fantastic job!
-- The loud rush of death's permanence, thundering around my ears....the bitter taste of life's uncertainty. - Gene Marie Gene Marie Executive Editor, Photographer Strong Truths Thank you!
 -- "He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god." --Aristotle, Politics  Oh my God, you continue to amaze me with each new piece. I absolutely LOVE the original film series and this is indeed a magnificent homage.
(Also: RAWR beefcake Superman) -- "Use the things of man, but do not worship them; for they shall pass."  freakin excellent loved ther old movies also
 THe new one kind of bored me-- Misery....  great homage - love the wide view and background - Reeves was great and believable
-- ---  Thanks for the love-- "He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god." --Aristotle, Politics  your talents are simply phenominal, the lighting, the definition in his physique... the entire piece...stunning
