BoP Goes POP! Vinyl

September 27, 2019January 16, 2020 ~ Matt Truex ~ Leave a comment

  There are a ton of things that fans never get to see when a show is canceled after 13 episodes. With a few notable exceptions (sidebar: Firefly fans are so spoiled!), 13 episode shows never get good media coverage, behind the scenes featurettes, timely DVD releases, or that all-encompassing word for everything that fans … Continue reading BoP Goes POP! Vinyl

Lois Lane Painting

November 14, 2018November 14, 2018 ~ Matt Truex ~ Leave a comment

"Girl Reporter" Acrylic on canvas Superman works best as a love story. At least, that's what a steady lifetime diet of Lois & Clark has led me to believe. She's an essential part of what keeps Clark human and what keeps Superman in the sky. Naturally, I wanted to paint her, but I was struggling with … Continue reading Lois Lane Painting

“Alien” – Superman Painting

November 10, 2018June 8, 2021 ~ Matt Truex ~ Leave a comment

“Alien” Acrylic on board Painted this for a show at Carter Sexton's caricature art show in April, 2018. I’m not someone who’s naturally good at caricature, but I thought it would be interesting to take this icon I love and highlight something about him I feel people ignore... He’s. An. Alien. An illegal alien! A … Continue reading “Alien” – Superman Painting

Dr. Fate Painting

November 5, 2018June 8, 2021 ~ Matt Truex ~ Leave a comment

"By The Helm of Nabu" I was on a roll with these Ramos-y paintings for a few months! Fate here is based on the famous cover of More Fun Comics #61, by Bernard Baily. I was really nervous about how this one would turn out, but I think it's one of the better early pieces … Continue reading Dr. Fate Painting

Black Canary

November 5, 2018June 8, 2021 ~ Matt Truex ~ Leave a comment

"Still Another Crime By The Black Canary" Another piece I did in the Mel Ramos style. Honestly, I was surprised he never painted her since she's right up his Crime Alley. Acrylic on canvas based on the character's second appearance in Flash Comics issue 87, 1947. The story was called "The Package of Peril" referring … Continue reading Black Canary

First Painting – Hawkgirl

November 4, 2018June 8, 2021 ~ Matt Truex ~ Leave a comment

I started painting again in 2016. A perfect storm of heartbreak, sudden free time, and Mel Ramos Google searches put it in my head that I should try painting some of my favorite comic characters in Mel Ramos' style. I chose to start with Hawkgirl not just because she's a personal favorite, but also because … Continue reading First Painting – Hawkgirl
