Well, here we are, officially back with our nose to the grindstone(s). It was a great break, and we’re looking forward to the many exciting changes about to take place here at Neuhaus Design. We can’t let you into our inner circle just yet, but stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, check out this great book I received for Christmas! If you’re at all familiar with comic books then you’ll immediately recognize the name Jack Kirby. His most notable contributions to comic books include the co-creation of Captain America with Joe Simon in the 1940’s, the many Marvel co-creations with Stan Lee in the 1960’s including the Fantastic Four, X-Men, the Silver Surfer as well as his own universe, Jack Kirby’s Fourth World in the early 1970’s. The man absolutely defined the word prolific, as he was known as the fastest, most dynamic artist of his time (and any since). And even though I grew up on a whole different generation of artists such as Dan Jurgens and Graham Nolan, they all owe some part of their style and approach to Kirby. The book, written by Mark Evanier, contains the condensed biography of Jack Kirby and includes many, many illustrations spanning his career beginning in the 1940’s right through to his death in 1994. Pick it up, you won’t regret it.
