New Pro Shadowman Original Art - 100% Hurrican Relief

Clifford Edward VanMeter · Wed Sep 07, 2005 5:31 pm

I have currently on Ebay a new original Shadowman piece title "The Battle of New Orleans". The current minimum bid is $40 and all proceeds go to hurrican relief. I thought it only fitting that New Orleans' own superhero should make a contribution in some small way.

As is my usual deal with new originals and commissions the winner gets a computer colored version on watercolor paper as well.

For those interested, but not enough to clikc the link -- here's the work:

That is one sweet piece! I ca attest to Mr VanMeters seller skills. I bought a beautiful Magnus piece from him and it was shipped promptly as promised. Top notch guy!

Wow, amazing piece. Shadowman helping the Big Easy in it's darkest hour... very fitting.

Looks awesome. Too awesome for my budget though. I always did like how Shadowman was from New Orleans -- so different than the average superhero. At least we know he survived his 1999 fate

That is an awesome & inspiring piece of art, Clifford! I'd like to see the colored version. The inked version is quite striking, but I'm sure the colors would add to the drama of the whole scene.---Steve

Pretty sure this would have brought him back if he'd died in 1999. Cool piece of work.

Cliff, that is a stunning piece of art. Are you working on any books these days? I really should be looking into them

Bid Placed.

Hats off to you Mr. VM. Your skills are inspiring.

I bet the News would pick up this story if one of us called it in.

As we've already mentioned New Orleans doesn't have many indigenous superheros.

A regular gig on a title is hard for me -- even back in my prime. I'm frankly too slow to do a monthly book -- I'm one of those agonize over every page guys. That's why I mostly did specials, pinups and fill-ins.

These days I mostly push pixels instead of pigments -- I'm a partner in a design and advertising agency in Kalamazoo and the Interactive Director for the company.

I do have a couple of books -- but they aren't comics. A QuickTimer's Guide to Web Video and another called Podcasting: iTunes and Beyond (coming out as soon as I get it done). I also contributed to the Adobe GoLive Visual QuickStart Guide from Peachpit Press, and a couple of the books in the Morgan Kaufman Understanding QuickTime series -- and I used to write for Mac Design magazine prettyy regulalry as a software reviewer. I still periodically get invited to speak at conferences like Macworld, QuickTime Live, and Apple's WWDC. I'm starting a Podcast later this month or early next called QuickTiming -- which is also the name of a website I created ( http://quicktiming.org).

In my copious free time

I try to keep my hand in as an artist doing superhero stuff as well as some fantasy and scifi work.

On the other hand, if anybody's got something to throw at me, I'm certainly willing.

C'mon, folks... you have to at least TRY to knock me off this! It's for a good cause, after all!

Although, I wouldn't mind ONE BIT to have this hanging up on my wall..........

Well, it went two days after placing my bid without another bid - looks like I will have to find a place on my wall for this great bit of art, at least after I get it framed.

Thank you, Mr. VanMeter! Item is paid for, and I can't wait to get it!!!
