That "Eagle" artist is, in fact "The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire" artist, Don Lawrence (from Ranger and then Look and Learn inter alia). Brilliant blog Steve.

Well that was a lovely surprise, on several levels! We start with Don Lawrence, my mentor (99% sure that’s his work on the cereal packet!) and end with… my work! Thank you! That really was an amazing ad.

But also, your Superman suit is exceptional, and the phone booth shot is utterly inspired!

It doesn’t end there either! In Photoshop’s infancy I conceived of an ‘alternate past’ project, called ‘Alternation’, where two pasts collide to create a merged future, with impossible artefacts. I just never had the wherewithal to pull together the event I imagined, but I do still have a few of those artefacts. Maybe I’ll post about it one day!

As always, it was a joy to read this. :-)
