Channeling Jack Kirby
March 2nd, 2007
Jack Kirby is “The King of Comics” and one of my favorite artists ever. If you are unfamiliar with Kirby click here (it would take a thousand blogs to explain all the reasons he’s a genius).
For one of my new cartoons I needed an array of futuristic technology for a background. It occurred to me that it would be a funny little tribute to give them a Kirby-esque look. No one could draw strange futuristic technology like my man Kirbs, especially in his early 1970’s DC Comics period.
Here’s a sampling of some of my Kirby-inspired machinery.

Lovely work. Though the dangling blue object in the final panel is a bit suggestive.

I really dig the orange/yellow paletted contraptions.
