The Art Of Sean Phillips Rejects

Even though my art book has hundreds of pictures, there were still plenty more we didn't have space for. I'm going to be showing some of those over the next couple of months until the book comes out.

The first one here is part of a poster about Hitler's architect Albert Speer. It was done as a college project when I was 20.

Dr Marten's dyes and gouache on board, 1985.

New FATALE #16 cover

Painted a new cover for Fatale #16 because the previous one featured Nicholas and he doesn't feature in #16. We'll save that one for a future issue. This one will be out in a week or so I think. My comps arrived today.

The Art Of Sean Phillips exhibition

To tie in with my book The Art Of Sean Phillips coming in October from Dynamite, there will be a retrospective exhibition of my comic art, illustration and fine art at one of the venues of the Lakes International Comic Art Festival.
The exhibition opens two weeks before the Festival and continues until November. On the opening night of October 6th, there will also be a one-off screening of 12 Angry Men, for which I recently painted the DVD and Blu-ray cover for Criterion. The original painting for that cover will be in the exhibition along with over a hundred other pieces.

Exclusive Bookplate

All copies of The Art Of Sean Phillips from OK Comics will come with an exclusive signed bookplate... Out in October from Dynamite.
