Art of War - 1998

A fascinating concept - you can have your own unique creation of artwork. I haven't gone to any of the conventions where these images are created - yet. The artwork inside the AArt of War books is also fascinating, with one illustration below. Tucci's primary artwork is in pencil, and the evolution from his pencil drawings as shown in AOW is fascinating. He has also shown some of this in the Way of the Warrior Trade Paperbacks.

There are more sketches on the pages for 1999 (5-year anniversary), 2000 (Year of the Dragon) , 2001 (Year of the Serpent) , 2002 (Umadoshi) , 2003 (Owari), and 2004. Several originals are shown in the Year of the Dragon Page (2 covers, one interior page), some of the original art for Daredevil and Wolverine covers is on this site.. I also have some "original" art by Tucci.
