When the concept of superheroes in real life might look silly, there is one artist who can easily make all iconic heroes into realistic and epic figures. Alex Ross is perhaps one of the most popular comic book artists around for his amazing art on everything he touches. His work in the world of iconic super heroes of both marvel and dc comics has made a large impact on not only in the comic book industry but in the world of art with his photorealism paintings.
Born in Portland, Oregon, he was raised in a family that was already tied to art. His life was changed when he saw spider-man for the first time on television and was inspired to become an artist. Graduating from the american academy of art, inspired by the likes of Salvador Dali and Rockwell, J. C. he decided that he wanted to paint comics. He Quickly became into the icon that he is now after working on books like "Marvels" and "Kingdom Come".
His style is known as photorealism, a style of painting that aims to replicate a photo. With this style, Ross has made some of the most impossible things like superheroes actually look real and beliavable. That's his charm as he can make anything as ridiculous to a man dressed up as a bat or a super powered alien wearing a bright blue and red costume real and iconic.
