Oil painters take note, Seth Armstrong can teach you some mastery. Dude’s cityscapes have some of the best control of oil’s luminosity that I’ve ever seen, and he doesn’t have to go overboard with the Chiarascuro to make it so. To top it off, he takes subtle, humorous elements and drops them into his cities, such as his Superhero series. Because even the tight-wearing heroes have errands to run when they’re not saving your ass. It takes a big man to be so talented and still have some wry wit to toss around. It just so happens that today I’m wearing a hat; I take that hat off to you, Seth. Long may you reign.
