He offers these nice charcoal portraits so I let him take a shot at Bob Dylan! I gave no reference and the choice of vintage was totally up to him. Looks like a late 60s Bob to me.
DeCarlo is a frequent contributor to Bongo's Simpsons comics so I asked for a Simpson-ized Bob Dylan! Again, I gave no specifics about the vintage Dylan I was looking for. This one looks like an 80s Dylan (notice the earring).
...and commission #3 (of 3), of course, how could I resist?
I asked for a "Simpson-ized" version of the Marvel Team-Up cover and he immediately had the idea for a Bart Simpson Spidey and replacing Man-Thing with Comic Book Guy (Comic Book Guy-Thing?)! I told him to go for it and I love the way it turned out!!!!!
What I really like about the John Buscema pages I posted (besides that I now have them - yipeeeee!!!) is that there are two completely different styles of inking, but Big John comes shining through.
Also, definitely an example of how effective 'less is more' actually is.
