What’s your favourite Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers moment?
Sending these prints out to some lovely new customers. ❤️
When I decided to draw Cap and Bucky, I knew I wanted to include this scene in this piece. Steve spent the entirety of Civil War protecting his best friend and it all comes down to this moment. The moment he chooses Bucky and leaves the shield behind. It’s both beautiful and heartbreaking.
Cap’s first pic is almost complete. Lots of tiny details on this one, especially on the helmet. ✍
Throw to these drawings I made of Johnny Depp and Lily-Rose Depp. Johnny’s was originally drawn in 2013 and retouched last year with some more intricate details.
I started working on this piece over a month ago. I’m so happy with the final result!
Back in the day, my first introduction to the superhero genre was the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy. I was quite excited to draw Andrew and Tom. Both did a remarkable job in their respective movies. But Tobey will always be MY Spider-Man. Which is why this piece has such a special place in my heart. I hope you love it as much as I do. ❤️

The 3 main pictures are mostly done (I still want to add a few things here and there), but for now I’m going to start working on the “small” Spideys and the background.
I can already tell Andrew Garfield’s suit is going to be a LOT of work. Wish me luck. Oh! And.. Merry Christmas!
Our 3 Spideys. All unique in their own way. All brilliant.
‘Colour is important in South Africa – we make it important. Colour places you, colour tells where you are within the geography of South Africa. And when I thought of colour, I realised that I cannot ignore the incident that happened in 1989.’–Mary Sibande (born 1982)
This 2013 work by Sibande is called A Reversed Retrogress: Scene 1 (The Purple Shall Govern). Sibande cast these figures from her body. The one in Victorian dress, called Sophie, refers to her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, who were maids in white South African households. The second figure, in purple, represents Sibande herself.
The Purple Shall Govern relates to the statement ‘the people shall govern’, from the 1955 Freedom Charter and post-apartheid constitution. It also refers to the Purple Rain Protests of 1989, when protesters captured the police water cannon being used to spray them with purple dye and turned it on their assailants. Over the following days the slogan ‘the purple shall govern’ was painted on walls around Cape Town. Although a tension remains, Sibande is saying goodbye to Sophie, her past, and confronting the ‘purple’ present and future.
See this incredible work in our exhibition South Africa: the art of a nation (27 October 2016 – 26 February 2017).
