Mark Schultz: Various Drawings Volume Three

This third volume of the ongoing Various Drawings series focuses on Mark Schultz's most recent works and unpublished art. Showcasing only his best in this annual collection, he demonstrates a continued ability to refine his craft through a variety of formats: private commissions, illustrations, comics material, and rare sketchbook art.

New this year is a sixteen-page color section, featuring color roughs for his paintings and tinted experiments. The drawings include new pieces featuring Xenozoic Tales favorites Jack Tenrec and Hannah Dundee, plus a selection of recent comic book covers. Also included are preliminaries for his upcoming Storms at Sea storybook, unpublished brush and ink roughs for book illustration assignments, and more--65 pieces of art rendered variously in pencil, Wolff pencil, and brush and ink.

The Various Drawings series continues to present Schultz's otherwise unseen privately commissioned works, and, as usual, includes a spectacular gatefold centerpiece.
