taking his act on Broadway ...with Spider-Man
Comic book artist Greg Horn will be
lending his talent to the Broadway extravaganza SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK,
providing high end illustrations for the play's line of merchandise and also
some imagery for the official program guide.
Touted as the most elaborate ever, the
play brings Horn onto a star-studded project helmed by industry giant Julie
Taymor, with songs by music legends Bono and The Edge of U2. Coming off his most
recent work for Marvel and ESPN Magazine's NBA preview issue, the artist has had
his fair share of high profile projects recently. "I've worked on some
mind-blowing jobs over the past 10 years, but this one might just take the
cake. It's a biggie! They were nice enough to fly me up last month to see the
show in person, and that really helped me get a grasp of the show's scope and
look. I've never seen anything like it…a visual
spectacle!"
Greg is best known for his years of
memorable cover paintings for Marvel Comics. His campaigns in the advertising
field with giants such as Leo Burnett and W&K have helped prepare him for
anything the high-pressure world of mainstream illustration can dish out. "My
goal with any project - whether we're talking advertising, video game, or comic
book art - is to create the highest quality of illustration. In the case of Turn
Off the Dark, the bar is set pretty high by the rest of the production. By
focusing on the best qualities of the characters and freeze-framing the action
in the perfect place, I can create a marketable image that is epic and
inspiring. I'm extremely pleased with the way things are turning out so far with
Spidey!"
Greg has upcoming projects with the
University of
Alabama, Abrams Publishing,
Zenescope, and Marvel Comics. His online gallery is free to peruse, showcasing
all his illustrations for a variety of industries. http://www.greghornjudge.com
