Josef Rubinstein did this one for me to finish out my 2000AD collection.

I think it was commissioned in March 2004 and was received in September 2004.

Lots of blueline is visible on the piece which I actually like to see as it shows all the designs that went into making the final piece.

Pencils only

Very nice!

I had Joe ink the amazing DD/Hulk commission that Bob McLeod did. While not the speediest guy, Joe's one heck of a cool guy, and will ALWAYS respond to emails. (even at 1am sometimes!) To me great communication can trump slowness almost every time. As long as I know what's going on, I can wait.

Here's the stellar job Joe did on the piece...

Joe also added a page to my "The Devil & Me" sketch book. Again, he's NOT fast. But he really does great work, and as I said before, he always responds quickly to emails, and will keep you in the loop. He in fact asks me to keep bugging him about my commissions.

He's done my DD/Hulk, this, and I've given him a cover to ink. The fact that I keep going back to him should speak volumes.

Here's his self portrait with DD:

Here's a third piece from Joe...a fourth is in the works.

Yes, Joe is not the fastest inker when it comes to commission work but he told me the next one I won't pay for until after the work is completed to keep him focused on the job at hand.

That being said I still recommend him for pencils and ink work because he is very forthright and his communications are beyond reproach just as his skills are.

Excellent work if I do say so myself.
