As I was working on the previous post (about Mr. Rotten v. Mr. Lydon, and two John Constantines), I was sent the video below. I’ve watched it, and the artwork is unmistakably that of Neal Adams. Neal Adams was one of the hero-artists of my youth, responsible for the most amazing comic-book art of the period, and the most visually impressive story arc (The Kree-Skrull War in “Avengers”). Now he’s sketching fast-food heroes for Taco Bell, for what I’m sure is many multiples of remuneration. I am not opposed to this — many of my friends, especially in dance, go off and do corporate so they can continue doing art, and I write corporate six days a week. (And on the seventh, I rest.) There is a fine tradition in supporting your art with commerce. I just wish this were cleverer.
