That is one excellent image. Brings back the memories of Alpha around that time. Thanks for the heads up SasqFan.
Nice! I think I'm gonna have to take a shot at colouring this bad-boy!

hate to sound stupid......
but whats a commission?
btw, brings back old memories.
It's basically when you pay an artist to draw, ink or paint a peice for your collection.
Hey, that really was a nice piece! Very enjoyable... what an interesting man Mr. Byrne is... very quirky! Claims to abhor Alpha Flight, yet draws such a nice Guardian... *sigh* I hope he does more...

The next person who tries to convince me that it was a *good* thing that the inker all but redrew Byrne's Superman panels is going to have a hard time reproducing -- I'm short and have fine access to the vitals.
Just...yeah. Byrne-on-Byrne art is the love. *melt*

Absolutely wonderful! It's nice to see Bryne doing Alpha again, I know it's just one piece but still, it looks great.
Ben-any chance get a copy of the pic for the site?
I think reproducing the pic on the site could be a problem. John Byrne is very definate in regards to his work. The pics from published works are shown at the discretion of Marvel, while Byrne's commissions are not considered public domain.Quote:

Just saying :-)
I would highly recommend against it.Quote:

I'm seriously considering a Sasquatch piece if the fee is doable.
Nice commission.
Some very nice Bryne AF artwork here:
http://www.artofjohnbyrne.com/cgi-bi...H=alpha+flight
has more alpha artwork. Some nice pieces. Unused covers etc.
No matter what you think of his net personna, I think most people will agree that no one draws AF like Byrne. They come alive when you see a Byrne rendition IMHO.Quote:
