Collection: Alex Ross - Artist

DC COMICS - THE ART OF ALEX ROSS

Alex Ross Studios represents the fine art collection of DC Comics' Justice League and DC Villains teams, fictional characters published in American comic books by DC Comics.

Alex Ross was born in Portland, Oregon, and raised in Lubbock, Texas. According to his mother, he made his artistic debut at age three when he grabbed a piece of paper and drew the contents of a television commercial he'd seen moments before. By age 13, he was scripting and drawing original comic books. Ten years later, he was hired by Marvel Comics to illustrate Marvel's central characters in the comic book event Marvels (1994).

Having established himself creatively and financially with superhero projects, Ross turned to the real world with Uncle Sam. This 96-page story looked at the dark side of American history. Like Marvel, the individual issues of Uncle Sam were collected into a single volume - first in hardcover, then in paperback - and remain in print today. Ross would eventually win the Comic Buyer's Guide Award for Favorite Painter. He won so many times that the award was officially retired.

Alex's work has celebrated the 60th anniversary of Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel, and Wonder Woman with fully painted, tabloid-sized books depicting each character using their powers to inspire humanity and help them.

In recent years, Ross has applied his artistic skills to outside projects with comic book roots, including a limited-edition promotional poster for the Academy Awards, and has become the first artist in over 30 years to be commissioned by Apple Corp. LTD to paint the Beatles.  His artwork is squarely in the center of Pop culture; it’s no surprise that Alex is now turning his attention toward beloved Disney characters.  Having been referred to as the Norman Rockwell of comics, Alex’s expert style and classical sensibilities combine wonderfully with the spirit of Disney Fine Art, creating breathtaking works that delight fans of all ages. – Alex Ross, Publisher
