PAUL POPE Coming Up With New Ideas
Paul Pope, is an acknowledged original in the world of comic books. And this is not so easy to achieve as some might think. Once an artist has struggled to distil a distinctive style "within the alembic of his art," it is natural to employ those same motifs and visual signatures in succeeding works.
Paul Pope has other ideas. He has become one of the best-loved comic book artists of the last two decades, creating a unique visual style that has been described as Jack Kirby meets Manga. He fuses Eastern and Western comic book traditions to create a truly unique and distinctive aesthetic, which has seen him build a fan base of millions across the world
Paul Pope would be the first to acknowledge, the comic book genre is a hybrid form - relying as much upon visual stimulation to drive the plot as it does upon words - and this appears to have confused more conservative critics, who regard the form as being one primarily to provoke interest in the young for more traditionally orientated works.
Paul Pope was lucky enough to have utilized his talents with some of the industry greats throughout the 90s, including drawing for the famous comic 'Heavy Liquid.' His style fuses his love of manga comics along with the more traditional Western aesthetic style - a unique style for which he has become well known.
