Editor’s letter
to a thrilling edition
Hello there! How are you? I imagine that
you quite simply couldn’t avoid Fred
Augis’ cover art sitting on the newsstand.
It’s a welcoming, bright and eye-catching
image, isn’t it? I’m always amazed and a
bit humbled by the calibre of artists that
we’re able to get in the magazine – yes,
even after being on ImagineFX for 116
issues. I still get a thrill when choosing my dream list of artists
that I’d like to appear… and that these same artists agree to spend
their time sharing their techniques and inspiring art with us. This
issue is no exception. Workshop-wise we have cover artist Fred,
who’s a force of originality and style; there’s Brenton Cottman, an
artist who’s worked on some of the biggest films ever made; and
Donato Giancola, who’s skill, dedication and execution of art makes
me weep in awe.
I’m also a big fan of Stephan Martinière’s art, and I loved reading
about his varied career. I thought I knew a lot about his work, but
was not only surprised to discover his love of comic art, but also
that he worked on the Inspector Gadget cartoon TV series. If you
were a child of the 80s or early 90s, you’ll already have the theme
tune stuck in your head after seeing Gadget’s name again. Sorry!
Also, if you have any comments or suggestions about what we
should (or shouldn’t!) feature in ImagineFX, or any other feedback
or news about what you’re doing artistically, please write in to us at
mail@imaginefx.com. We always love to hear from you.
