Dave Simons Memorial Service

2009-06-28T07:23:00.000-07:00

I have just received the following e-mail from Dave's sister, Bette Simons.

Dave's memorial service is scheduled for Sunday July 19th at 12:30pm. It will be held at The Church of Scientology 227 W. 46th St. Manhattan, NY 10036. Phone 212-921-1210.

Another reason for this email is that I would like, in lieu of flowers, donations to be made to the organizations that meant the most to Dave. At the top of the list is Hero Initiative.

Respectfully,
Bette

Dave remains one of the best people I've met on this planet. I urge fans and friends if at all possible to attend this service. Dig deep and donate in his name. Even in his worst hours Dave still made time for charities. Let's honor him and his memory by doing the same. Love ya Dave, catch you on the flip side.

You helped Dave Simons

2009-06-12T16:07:00.000-07:00

Back in February at New York Comic Con was the last time I saw Dave Simons face to face. He was already battling the cancer that the doctors termed incurable and was far skinnier than the last time I had seen him. The fact that he was sick did not stop Dave from interacting with fans and walking around the con stopping by to visit old friends. He was weak, but Dave had no time for that. He was in his element, among his colleagues, and among his friends.

Dave's sense of humor always came through when he talked and I remember laughing my head off at a couple of the drawing Dave had done at the time. He would just sit there with that huge smile of his and say that's the reaction I was looking for. He would then stretch out his drawing arm trying to loosen it up so he could get back to what he loved, drawing.

The strange thing about the cancer was that while it had landed square in the one part of his body that provided his living and his joy, it did not hurt (as much) when he was drawing. He was thankful for that (thankful!) and drew as much as he could, when his health allowed him to. It was his passion and his love. It showed in his illustrations and the life that he brought to them.

The Help Dave Simons auctions by that time were also in full swing. The response was amazing. We received artwork from noted industry vets as well as from independent new comers. I received e-mails from across the country and artwork from around the globe. Dave was stunned and couldn't believe the response.

Contributing artists included Mike Mignola, Walter Simonson, Fred Hembeck, Brian Postman, Paul Ryan, Mike Pascale, JM DeMatties, Frank Brunner, John Romita Sr, Bob Almond, Scott Ambruson, Kris Carter, Andy Brown, Craig Rousseau, Herb Trimpe, Kevin West, Keith Tucker and more. Many of Dave's fans also contributed, including Jerry Livengood, Steve Kriozere, Stacey Aragon, myself, and many who contributed anonymously. Dave being Dave even contibuted to his own cause.

Dave was a big contibuter to charities including the Hero Initiative and the March of Dimes. The March of Dimes cards were done while Dave was going through radiation and having a tough go of it. He just could not let anyone down, his heart was so big.

During a conversation a couple of months ago. Dave opened up and told me that he had questioned his career choice at times. Whether or not, he had made a difference in the industry and if anyone would remember him. After the overwhelming response from the auctions and the well wishes Dave received on Facebook and through his own website, he knew that his answer was "YES."

Thank you to all that donated, bid, won, e-mailed, IM'd, or have expressed their thoughts on Dave. Take solace in the fact that YOU helped his last days on this earth be happy ones. Through the letters of support, expressions of adoration for his art, and simply by just being there. Dave indeed knew that he was loved and inheritably notable within his profession/passion.

From all of us at Comic Art House and the Inkwell Awards. THANK YOU!

Dave Simons commissions OPEN!

2009-04-21T14:11:00.001-07:00

Dave is very close to finishing his current list of commissions. With that being said, NOW, YES NOW, is the time for you to get that commission of your dreams from the one and only Dave Simons.

HOWEVER, Dave is drawing, working, climbing the walls, wanting to create something special for someone's collection. That person could be you. hit the link, pull the trigger, you won't regret it.

Help Dave Simons

2009-02-03T11:36:00.000-08:00

Stolen from Daniel Best's blog:).

Anyone who read Marvel comics back in the late ‘70s through the mid ‘80s should know the name Dave Simons. He was one of the best inkers that the company had and his work over Bob Budiansky on the title Ghost Rider is still regarded as being a benchmark for the character, even now, over twenty years since it first appeared. While at Marvel Dave inked many of the industry’s top names, including John Buscema, Walter Simonson, Michael Golden, Frank Miller, Rick Leonardi and many more. His work over Gene Colan was recently described, by Colan no less, as being ‘exquisite’. Without being asked Gene also went on to say, “Do you know how few artists have ever been able to ink my very complex and often inscrutable pencils? I've yet to see anything Dave has done that I haven't loved! Artists and inkers have come and gone but Dave remains today still at the top of his form!” That’s high praise indeed and richly deserved as Dave’s fine line and attention to detail was often imitated but rarely equalled. Dave was an un-sung hero at Marvel, never wanting to draw attention to himself but allowing the work to speak for him. He kept this attitude up when he left Marvel and worked at DC and plunged into the animation field, where he again excelled both as an artist and also as a creator and director.

Not many people know this but a fair while back artist Dave was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. Throughout the entire ordeal Dave kept working as best he could and was his usual bright and cheerful self. Such is the measure of the man that he didn’t tell all that many people but he didn’t shy away from it either. Most people around him knew about his medical condition and knew that he had good days and bad days. If you spoke to Dave, or interacted with him at a convention, then you’d probably not been aware of his condition from the way he presented himself. Dave isn’t one for wanting people to treat him differently because of what he was going through, nor did he want sympathy – all he wanted was good friends, good conversations and to keep working as long and as hard as he could. He underwent a series of treatments, including chemotherapy, and came through the other side apparently cured. The treatments took their toll though, both physically and financially. One of the reasons why I set up a web-site for Dave was to give him an on-line presence where he could sell his art and put himself out there for commissions. As with all my sites, I’ve never asked Dave to pay, nor will I. It’s the least I can do for the guy. Slowly but surely Dave pulled himself back up off the ropes and managed to secure commissions – and you’ll not find anyone who’d complain about Dave’s work there – and also comic book work, his greatest love, as he was assigned a semi-regular stint with the title Army Of Darkness, along with sketching various Red Sonja covers for Dynamic Forces to use as one-off variants and drawing over 1,500 trading cards for various Rittenhouse trading card sets. With the latter, Dave’s true nature came to the fore when he began to recommend artists that he knew to Rittenhouse so that they could also find some steady, paying work.

Recently Dave and I have been talking, via the internet, on an almost daily basis. Over the past few weeks he’d been complaining, quietly, about an occurrence of bursitis which was restricting his ability to draw for long periods of time. During one of his check ups he mentioned it and got it looked at. The news wasn’t good. In fact the worst kind – what Dave thought was bursitis is actually a tumour. The cancer has also spread to other parts of his body and the diagnosis is grim. “The doctors tell me that now I'm officially "incurable",” says Dave, “The silver lining is that they can keep me alive for some time to come. I'll have to go thru a much heavier regimen of radiation and chemotherapy than was originally thought and will have to have a port installed.”

Thankfully the bulk of Dave’s medical costs are covered due to Dave having being part of the Coast Guard in his youth and he receives excellent medical care from the Veteran's Administration Hospital. However the day to day costs, his bills such as utilities, phone, internet and rent, are a struggle and won’t become any easier as Dave’s condition worsens. Dave won’t ask for help, he’s not that kind of a guy. So I’ll ask, not on behalf of him, but for him. Dave’s bills will be increasing – he hasn’t got a regular comic book gig and, unlike the artists of today, he didn’t work on a title that made him millions of dollars. The immediate concern is taking care of Dave’s day to day needs, and that means paying his bills so he can concentrate on improving the quality of his life. How can this be done?

Three ways – you can donate cash to Dave directly via PayPal. No amount is too small, no amount is too big. If you want to remain anonymous, you can PayPal Dave's art rep, Bob Shaw, and we’ll get the cash to Dave, every cent of it.

The second way is to donate items for a series of on-going auctions designed to benefit Dave. This can be pages of original art, sketches, comic books, signed items such as prints or books, anything that people might have lying around that could be of value then feel free to send it to Dave’s art rep, Bob Shaw. We’ve established an eBay account solely to assist Dave; auctions will be going up as items come in and all the money will be going directly to Dave. Items can be sent directly to Bob at the following address:

The Dave Simons Appeal

PO Box 650

Derry, NH

03038

USA

The third way is to contact Dave and commission him to draw you something and pay him. This way Dave remains active and you get a damn fine piece of art in return.

If you have any questions then feel free to email me or Bob and we’ll answer them as best we can. If you want to send Dave a message then again, email and I’ll make sure Dave gets it, otherwise, if you’re on Facebook, join the Dave Simons Appreciation Society and send your thoughts to Dave directly. Let’s all chip in and help Dave, as a way of saying thanks for all the joy he’s brought over the decades via his art. Dave is a guy who gives so much and asks for very little, now let’s all dig deep and give Dave his due. Spread the word.

Craig Hamilton joins Comic Art House!

2009-01-31T15:44:00.001-08:00

In the words of Michael Netzer...

It is rare to encounter creativity, craftsmanship, integrity, humanity, and bravery in expression, all in relatively high dosage, and within one artist. Facebook has introduced me of late to one so remarkable a man. A friend in most esteem honor and camaraderie.

Craig Archimedes Hamilton is a rare breed indeed. Possessor of creative will which seems to know no bounds. Freed consciousness contending with nearly every anomaly of being.

A lifetime honing craftsmanship to a fine sharp edge. Indisputable understanding of form and design embellished with perception of wonder to the clearest degree.

An integrity of art and artist. Fearless of criticism. Certain in righteousness of being. Of purpose.

Brave in expression of that swept under carpets. Revealing humanity's darkest crevices as wonder filled harmony.

Humanitarian. Humane. Human. Devoted to humanity.

Andy Wiernicki passes away...

2008-12-03T15:17:00.000-08:00

I waited for the correct words to come to express the sorrow I feel in my heart over the loss of Andrew Wiernicki last week. I wanted to be able to write eloquently, to think clearly, and most importantly, to do justice to this great man. I hope it works.

I met Andrew Wiernicki at NYCC 2007 and I immediately liked him. He was well spoken and extremely serene in the middle of the madhouse that surrounded him. He had a firm handshake that I always believe is the mark of an honest, hardworking man. His sculptures were beautiful and obviously the work of a man who loved his craft, however, I was more impressed with him than his work.

We chatted for a short while with questions about representation coming up of course. Bob Almond has referred him to us and he was curious as to how things worked. After all the info, Andy decided he would come aboard. I was thrilled. I've always tried to get the best artists possible for the sites but I also wanted to get the best possible human beings as well. I felt as though I had hit the lottery.

When I found out Andy was sick, I was a bit upset. Not for the site or any of that BS. I just thought the world was a better place with Andy in it. I still do. I miss you Andy. Godspeed my friend.

Complete Star Trek: The Last Generation #1 artwork added

2008-11-30T04:12:00.000-08:00

We have added over 40 pages of new art to Bob Almond's section including the complete issue of pages from Star Trek: The Last Generation #1 (blueline inks over Gordon Purcell). Also added is a cover of Danger's Dozen with Sal Velluto and 24 pages from a Danger's Dozen story by John Royal.

It features 24 black and white interior pages and is ashcan sized (for those not proficient in Geek, that would be 5.5" x 8.5"). It is also a rather cost effective $7.00 plus shipping. Check it out for yourself at the site.

Dave Simons returns to comics!

ARMY OF DARKNESS: ASH'S CHRISTMAS HORROR
"It's a blunderful life" for everyone's favorite big chinned Chosen One
Dynamite presents their first ever Christmas Special... this time with a twist as we send Ash on a Christmas adventure the likes of which the world has never seen! Will Evil Ash destroy Christmas? Can Good Ash stop Evil Ash from ruining Christmas? Is there really a Santa? Find it all out this December in a 40 page one-shot by writer James Kuhoric and classic Marvel artist Dave Simons!
Everyone loves the holidays, right? Wrong! If you've ever worked S-Mart retail in December, you know it's special hell filled with something worse than Deadites.... dumbass holiday shoppers. And when the Necronomicon gets a hold of some classic holiday entertainment, it send Ash through a voyage of twisted Christmas visions that beat him senseless and initiate something deeper in Ash. "It's a blunderful life" for everyone's favorite big chinned Chosen One and this year he's going to face something tougher than Deadite Santas and zombie elves. He'll find a piece of his soul that was swallowed long ago..
Quote Jim Kuhoric: About the chance to work on AoD, artist Dave Simons exclaimed, "When Nicky first sent me a box o' comics to familiarize me with the Dynamite line, in amongst the Red Sonjas and Lone Rangers (great book, by the way) was Army of Darkness. I thought that AoD would be a fun book to work on and particularly suited to me with my experience in both horror (Tomb of Dracula, Ghost Rider) and humor (The Real Ghostbusters and many other animated shows). Little did I know I'd end up working on the AoD Holiday Special! This marks my return to print after several years of working in animation and I couldn't have picked a more appropriate project."
Dave's a class act, any way you gut it, and with Ash, you don't know where it's being "gut" or "cut". It's a different turkey jerker each and every time. In all seriousness, we were exctatic to work with an artist with a pedigree's as impressive as Dave. This is the first person we're putting together with him, but we are talking more down the line. Fingers crossed! Check it out, because it's the return of Dave to comics, but also because he's a great artist.

Of course, you could have gotten all that information just from looking at the fancy placard above, but I love repeating myself. If you are in LA, say hey to Joseph for us and tell him how super cool he is.

25% off ATOMIC ROBO VOL. 1 PAGES!!

2008-10-08T15:53:00.000-07:00

Has Wegener lost his freakin' mind?!? Apparently so, as he just told me to offer up all available pages from Vol. 1 of the Eisner nominated ATOMIC ROBO for the rather sweet 25 % off the prices listed on the site. To make this EVEN BETTER, if you buy multiple (like 5) pages, Scott will discount you even further.

There are some super sweet pages left, so HURRY and grab them before they go (or Scott comes to his bloody senses).

Joseph Lee Gallery updates

2008-10-01T18:48:00.000-07:00

Family Guy Assistant Director Joseph Lee is a comic book fan. Like most of us, he digs him some Star Wars action too (as if Blue Harvest wasn't a big enough hint).

Joseph's got some mad art skills to back up that bad ass title. The man can throw down with the best of them. While he's not accepting commissions at the moment, he is sharing some of his favorite personal work.

Kevin West color commission sale!!

2008-10-01T17:58:00.000-07:00

That's right SALE. Kevin's offering up his super-sweet 8.5 x 11 color commissions (regularly priced at $110) for only $90 plus shipping. That saves you $20 so you can buy the Iron Man DVD that just came out.

8.5 x 11 just ain't cutting it? Howzabout a HUGE 11 x 17 color commission? Regularly $160, NOW $140. Same $20 savings, still get the Iron Man DVD (not from us, use your savings) AND you look like the true art connoisseur that you truly are.

So not only do you get a killer piece of artwork to show off to your friendsand look extremely cultured, you can entertain them too! Popcorn's on you though.
