I once asked Dan Dos Santos what his dream job is and he said, "Paolo Rivera is already doing it! A fully painted X-Men comic." That was my first introduction to Paolo, since then I've run into him at a number of conventions and he very gracioulsy agreed to participate in an Art Out Loud demo event at the Society of illustrators.
Mythos, a collection of stand-alone Marvel origin-stories is coming out today -- panel after fully rendered and painted panel, equally inspired by illustration's golden age as comic book's.
For those in NY, he'll be at Jim Hanley's Universe tonight signing books:
