If you guys could choose two pieces of John Pound's original art to own which ones would they be? Mine would be Spider Manny(of course) and Cindy Lopper.  Joe Blow and Dead Ted |

Two more payments to make then the Spider Manny Original Pencil Art is mine!!  Another thing, I wonder why Pound made the snot part in the color rough yellow instead of green?  I prefer the green when it comes to the final art. |

Dammit, my Spider Manny art is sitting all by its lonesome for the weekend at the post office.  I needed to sign for it but I was in the bathroom when my mailman knocked at the door and didn't hear him in time.  :banghead: |

Sucky Stinger!
I'd choose Bern Out as my Pound piece, because it's my favorite GPK of all-time (albeit narrowly).

Moving this post into the JP thread:
I thought I'd ask John Pound a couple questions about the 1st series. Here are the two questions I asked:
1 - What was the first GPK final that you finished and submitted to Topps?
2 - What was the first GPK concept that you finished and submitted to Topps?
I guess it would be hard to remember exactly what was going on 22 years ago.
Here are his answers:
First painting: not sure, maybe Adam Bomb. They wanted it painted tighter than theothers, for use on the box and promos. Or maybe another one from thefirst 10 gpks was the first. They were printed in roughly, but notexactly, the order I painted.
The first idea: not sure, as I did a pile of quick black and white sketches and notes.But I did do a color concept rough first of Up Chuck, (it was calledBABY BARFY) to show my proposed style of painting the GPKs. The finalpainting (#3) was close to the concept rough.

Nice interview Aaron! Does Pound live in SD? I gotta hit him up and go have a beer. |

Man, to have a beer with JP would be insane! I'd much rather hang out with any artist from GPK than an actor or actress.

i think the Sarah Palin painting rocks! Super, super cool. it's nice to see dimples back in his work.  Old School Pound!! and it's ALWAYS nice to see cleavage. ;D -TCT, don't post here  , I can't write or read and look at cleavage at the same time  definately a spirited work, he seems like the kind of artist(like myself) who works WAY better when confronted with a challenging project. Like with those ANS 4 sketches we were discussing, I guess it wasn't a challenege to him to make them so he was bored and was just on autopilot when he made them or something. It might have been hard for him in ANS 4 to make a good sketch even if he tried, just because the whole process of making 100s of sketches was like mass production. I don't know. I've been thinking some today about him and what I said, I'm glad these AWESOME painting were posted today. Cool coinsodence. |

I'd love to see a nude gpk by John Pound, maybe like a Smelly Sally type of image. 100% dead serious. Nothing erotic or pornographic. Like a classical pose or something. That would be a GREAT commission!! |

Wonder what he charges for a commission? ask the member who started the "jaw-dropping Pound commission" thread. |

While I love the idea of a He-Man GPK...I really don't like the way he drew this one. I know Prince Adam had some pretty girlish hair...but the way he drew it here is just 'off'. I do like seeing him still doing gpk-styled art though.  |

I do like seeing him still doing gpk-styled art though. Luis is the one who sent me a link to the article. I told LD that I didn't like the face of He-Man at all but the rest is fine. LD thought the face was ugly too. The face is too long and doesn't fit in with the hair. The hair seems accurate though. If the face was rounded and cuteness added I think it would be perfect. The way it is now makes it look like he's wearing a wig over a conehead. |

Really cool box. I wish they had the Nasty Nick box too though
