Dave Gibbons will soon be a household name. The release of the movie Watchmen is based on Gibbons' illustrated novel of the same title. His energetic style is relatively realistic but uses areas of high contrast to make it more graphic and entertaining. His frames are filled with interesting perspectives and intense action.
When flipping through one of his books the color palettes seem to shift from chapter to chapter setting the tone adding interest.
Dave Gibbons has mastered the art of wowing us with his realistic detail and bringing us beyond reality with his larger than life style.
you know its funny, i didn't like Gibbons style initially, but after actually reading "watchmen", i really appreciated it....can't wait for the movie!
