Some of my earliest memories are seeing Mike's excellent renditions of Fireball XL5 in TV Century 21. in 1965.
His style is instantly recognizable, as can be seen on this 1967 annual, and his talent shows no sign of diminishing as this painting shows from the 2009 Network DVD Fireball XL5 release.
Here's a limited run B&W print signed by Mike Noble that was released by Fanderson in the eighties.
When I saw Mike at last year's event, he and fellow artist Lee Sullivan had collaborated on another limited print featuring Mike's Zero X art, with Lee providing the computer generated background.
As Lee is attending as well, I look forward to seeing them both again, and wondering what they might have planned this time.
Super that Scoop! What a great guest! Hope you get to meet him again. Looks like you snapped 'em having a crafty coffee last year!
ReplyDeleteThey were sat next to us at breakfast Woodsy.
ReplyDeleteScoop, will you do me a favour? He doesn't know me, but when you see him, will you say "There's a guy in Scotland called Gordon Robson who loves your work and wants you to know it." I'd really appreciate it. I'm prepared to bribe you in some way if you will. Ta much.
ReplyDeleteWhen I get the chance I'll certainly do that for you, Kid : )
ReplyDeleteOh goody. Ta. What a fantastic artist he is.
