Sketchbook - Leonard Kirk

This was one of only three sketches I got at San Diego 2001. I took my husband that year, and he got a bunch of cool sketches, but I was a bit more picky. I couldn't resist a sketch from Supergirl artist Kirk, though.


AQUAMAN

This is a young Aquaman, harkening back to the innocence of the Golden Age... notice he even has the gloves, something pretty rare for an Aquaman sketch. Most people forget he used to wear gloves that were right out of a dishwashing commercial. Depending on the artist (and the colorist), the gloves could look really cool and be a nice accent, or could be absolutely horrid. In this sketch, the gloves are there, but nicely understated.

To see all the sketches I have permission to post so far, check out my Sketchbook Page. If you have any contact information for any of the other artists I'm trying to contact, please e-mail me. Click for a random Aquaman sketch.
