Phantom concept sketch
First of all that Joker and Phantom look really good. Secondly that journal was an eye opener I didn't realise the proscess that goes into it. Extraordinary! The knowledge one must possess just on colour palate alone and then you have to have soooo much forethought for the final product aswell. Really interesting Josh I enjoyed it. I enjoy art but I now have even more appreciation for the process.

Thanks Ondi, I should be posting some new stuff very soon. Also, if you'd like a look into the painting process by a real master Here's a link to a Step-by-Step gallery of one of my hero's Joe Jusko

Oh Snap the original Marvel Masterpiecer himself!!! (My favourite collection of cards mind you 
)
OMG it's hard to believe how much he has improved since then. That art is outrageous!!! How amazing is the background!!!! WOW great link Josh thanks man
It's nice to see Joe's work again after so many years. I don't keep up with any of these things. I am artist illiterate

Like I said he's a hero of mine. He was great when he did Marvel Masterpieces but now...jeez the guy is just on another level. Glad you enjoyed the link Ondi, you may want to save his dA profile, he uploads new stuff every few months or so.
Done and done I spent an hour or so going through the rest of his gallery after you sent me there. I was so tired by the end of it! Too many amazing pics there. I wanted prints of everything!
BOOM!!
Can you ****ing believe this? How freaky is that Josh? We only speak of it and then this happens
It’s been 22 years since the first Marvel Masterpieces trading card series was released. The original, produced by SkyBox International, came on the heels of several Marvel Universe series, which used pick-up from the comics. The Masterpieces series was quite unique and very exciting in several ways. For starters, it featured all original art. Secondly, all of the art came from one artist, Joe Jusko. Nothing quite like this had been done before. And last, but certainly not least, the art was mind-blowing. It stills ranks as one of the best non-sport card series ever produced. Just this month, a Facebook post of Joe’s about the original series racked-up 70 glowing comments and nearly 100 likes. Jusko says “To this day, I sign more of those cards at appearances than anything else I’ve ever done. For a certain generation of fans that is the property that defines me.” So it’s VERY exciting to learn a follow-up is in the works for later this year.
To coincide with their 25th Anniversary taking place today, Upper Deck has announced the new Joe Jusko Marvel Masterpiece series for the end of the year. “This is an enormous feat that Joe is collaborating on with Upper Deck” says the company’s Jason Brenner. Just like the original, Jusko, and only Jusko, will be completing all 135 base card images (1992′s base card series contained 100 cards). “These are all new images that he is creating from scratch and they are stunning to say the least” say Brenner.
We spoke briefly with Jusko about working on the new series and how its been going so far (Joe has already been laboring on the series in secret for months and months). “I am having so much fun!” said Jusko. He continues “This type of project suits my temperament better than any other. I can put my all attention and effort into a piece and then move on to another image that is completely different in both subject and approach. It’s impossible to get bored, even with my notoriously short attention span.”
It’s now 22 years later and we wondered what fans can expect this time around. Jusko says: “Despite the success of the classic set, the main reason I’ve always wanted to return to Masterpieces has been my gnawing dissatisfaction with the amount of time I had to complete it, roughly three and a half months. That neccesitated doing very small paintings very quickly. While I think the great majority of those cards hold up very well, Upper Deck is giving me a much bigger window, making it possible to produce larger, cover quality images. I think fans will be really happy with the results.”
SkyBox International’s 1992 series had Spectra card inserts and some other inserts in related releases but those probably wouldn’t fly in today’s marketplace. When asked about inserts, Brenner assured us those details will come soon enough. He did let us know that sketch cards will figure into the new release and that additional artists will be employed for those. “The sketch work will all be inspired by the body of work that Joe has done so this is very much an homage to Joe himself” said Brenner. He continues “There will be a few different variants as well as some other inserts, I can’t talk to specific now though.”
We are very excited to show off one of the first ever 2014 Joe Jusko Marvel Masterpieces cards below........
and more BOOM.....
this too wierd. I hope I can get this set it would be so cool.

I haven't collected cards since the 90's boom, but consider this bought.
Neither have I man but what a great companion set to have next to the 1992 series. I just hope I can get them over hear.
This is the part that really got my attention though:
"I had to complete it, (1992 series) roughly three and a half months. That neccesitated doing very small paintings very quickly. While I think the great majority of those cards hold up very well, Upper Deck is giving me a much bigger window, making it possible to produce larger, cover quality images. I think fans will be really happy with the results.”
This could be a very very exciting series indeed and dare I say it could even be the beginning of another card a comic boom. Time will tell.
