Jeffrey Jones’s “four seasons” portfolio, World without End, was published by S.Q. Productions in 1980 in a signed-and-numbered limited edition of 1000. The choppy but controlled hatching style here — the antithesis of conventional comic-book rendering/feathering — was typical of Jones’s work at the time; for more examples, see “I’m Age,” the wonderful one-page strip by Jones that appeared in Heavy Metal from 1981 to 1984.

That last, black-and-white drawing did not appear in World without End, but the design of the image suggests that it was in the mix at some point.

Connections: Rockwell (1954) vs. McGinnis (1964)

 Posted by RC at 7:45 pm  Connections, Illustration Art, Look Here, Norman Rockwell, Robert McGinnis

Take a close look at the full-page picture of the female movie star in the magazine that Norman Rockwell’s Girl at Mirror has in her lap. Now look at the reflection of the woman in Robert McGinnis’s painting for the Carter Brown novel, The Never-Was Girl; see how McGinnis’s model seems to be using her hands as a cover to test how she would look with short hair; also, simply compare the two faces. Coincidence? I doubt it…

The Frazetta cover was published in September 1954; the artwork by Val Mayerik is from a story called “Domain,” with script by Bruce Jones, that appeared in Alien Worlds #1 in December 1982.
