![]() The artist is in his 70's and has had some health issues during this process that he has thankfully overcome, hence the long wait. I let Steve know through PMs that by his sharing of so many of his wonderful commissions in the Spanish Artist thread that he gave me the push to contact the artist who graciously accepted to create this piece for me. When I learned who it was, my heart dropped! Could I get him to recreate a page from one of my favorite stories from Skywald that he himself did back in 1971? I will tell you all that this is my first time requesting a commission and I have thank for inspiring me to do so. ![]() David said that Hewetson claimed a flood in the office basement destroyed most of, if not all of the art that they had.įast forward to this past August and I become aware of an artist taking commissions via Facebook. ![]() On speaking with David Kerekes who interviewed Alan Hewetson for the book, I had asked (David) if he knew of any OA from the Skywald mags that still existed. But my dream was to own a piece of original art from one of the early issues. I even helped with the Skywald!: The Complete Illustrated History of the Horror-Mood Paperback by contributing all the magazine covers for the publication. As most of you may know, I'm a huge Skywald fan. So I have been filled with anticipation for way too long, but it has finally arrived after a long 9 month wait. ![]()
