The other day Alex Sheikman sent me a copy of his sketchbook along with the first issue of his creator-owned series ROBOTIKA. I remember Alex’s work from my salad days of freelancing for role playing game companies, and have always been a fan of his work.
And…I love sketchbooks! Being able to see another artist’s thought process and problem solving has gotta be one of the best things in the world for me when I’m trying to solve my own art problems… You guys should check out his work.

While he’s become a sought-after household name for record labels and agencies, Brian Ewing has stayed true to the independent spirit of his art, and his style has developed over time. “At first I was just happy to get a chance to draw stuff and work with my favorite bands,” he says of his early punk rock posters. But with his growth from poster artist to full-blown fine artist, he’s followed in the footsteps of his heroes and mentors--Frank Kozik, Coop, Tara McPherson and many others--building an instantly recognizable stylistic empire.

Although Ewing has transformed into one of rock music and pop art’s most prolific, iconic image-makers, remaining down-to-earth and staying inspired are key elements to the growth of his rebellious art empire.
With his first monograph, “Don’t Hold Your Breath: The Art Of Brian Ewing,” which publisher Dark Horse allowed him to lay out himself, the reader can see the progression and maturation of his imagery, from power-packed and densely composed rock posters to the nuanced, deceptively simple and subversive works of more recent vintage. What’s next? Only Ewing knows, but no matter what, it will be unmistakably his.
