Amazing art. Too bad I hadn't heard of him or his work before today, because it looks fantastic.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Yea he was awesome! He influenced so many artists like Walter Simonson, Denys Cowan, and Ashley Wood.

 

[Cheebo]

How was he 89 if he was born in 1932?

Amazing art. Too bad I hadn't heard of him or his work before today, because it looks fantastic.

What he said.

 

[Nibel]

Didn't know about him - but damn, that looks good. Will research that guy for sure.

Rest in peace.

 

[SketchTheArtist]

Never heard of him.

Love his art though. Dunno if Mike Mignola was inspired by him.

The greats are falling one by one

Fuuuuu been a fan of his art ever since I discovered him a few years ago, truly a master of his medium. Check out the inexpensive sparrow book put out by Ashley Wood if you like his art.

So many Legends this year

I personally have [Toppi] - Bab El Ahlam 1932 (the second link), which is amazing. The next one I'm probably going to purchase is [Toppi] - Soudards Et Belles Garces.
