Transcript | I m John Pound b. October 8, 1952—Phoenix, Arizona San Diego State University Art Center College of Design "I started as a cartoonist—for my high school paper, my college paper, and underground comics. This taught me a lot of useful stuff about art: drawing composition, lettering, story construction, etc. "But I found more fascination in single-image art than with storytelling, so I concentrated on developing painting skills—doing filmstrip art, animation backgrounds, underground comic covers, and lately, paperback covers, magazine covers, and fantasy portfolios. "I like to make every project a challenge, and do things with it I haven't done before—like a color scheme, a pose, a collage technique, a texture, etc. The purpose of my pictures is to catch the eye and entertain." Pound works in acrylic with airbrush or pen/brush and ink. He is currently working on his third fantasy portfolio for Schanes & Schanes. He has done covers for Ace Books, DAW Books, Fantasy Classics, the Marvel Comics Group, underground comic covers for Kitchen Sink and Last Gasp Comix, book illustrations for Byron Preiss Visual Publications Inc., animation backgrounds for Lion's Den, and filmstrip paintings for San Diego County Schools A.V. He resides in Eureka, California, and feels that "a lot of times it seems like I'm just the hands and eyes for something else—assembling a picture like I'm some sort of organic TV set." :m John Pound • 5587 Noe Avenue • Eureka CA 95501 37 |
