These and many more will be part of the Philadelphia Cartoonist Society's second gallery show for "Children of the Watchmen" at the IMAX theater by the King of Prussia Mall.
As some of you know, the Philadelphia Cartoonist Society (PCS) got invited to do a second showing of their Watchmen gallery show at the Imax Theatre by the King of Prussia mall, to promote the movie before it premieres in March. Along with its original PCS members, Justin Gray, Kyle Hussa-Lietz, Pat Kinsella, and Peter Wonsowski were invited to contribute to the show's revisitation. The artwork you see above is Justin Gray's interpretation of one his favorite scenes in the book with the Comedian.
This is the final for my Children of the Watchmen contribution. Tighter composition and some more glowyness than I originally intended but I like the way it turned out. The idea comes a lot from his origin story. Before he became this all-powerful master of matter, space, and time we see him laboring over a pocket watch and loose gears, symbolic for how he's later able to piece together the raw materials of matter. I guess I imagine him contemplating the power he has and remembering where he came from- the design is meant to indicate his stoic, logical nature. Hope you guys like it. Later.
