Phil HAle works

[bhanu]

HEy guys,
I have been browsing the net looking for his work. btu I havent found one site wherer you could find all his works. A few here and few there. So is there any site where I can find all hsi works?
Muchlove ,
BHanu.

P.s. I am also looking for big/huge resolution pics by Jeff jones.
http://ulster.net/~jonesart/ this site has a lot of his work but the pics are quite small.

[Djohnston]

There is no site that has _all_ his works, but I guess this is the closest thing to a portfolio of his on the web..

Theres also the mocking birds / Relexander website but that is seriously tiresome to navigate.

[bhanu]

I have browsed this site Johnston but its quite small site eh?
Ahh Well I tried ,
can I now make a different request can you guys start posting his work that you have saved in your computers .If you could do that it'd be great .

[Living Rope]

one greater thing would be that your buy his books. I think he deserves it, doesn't he ? ;)

[Lone Wolf]

Djohnston-thanks for that link. Great site!

This.
Goad is worth it about... 15 times over.

[Justin.]

I have heard people talk about him so much but still don't think I've seen more than a few of his pieces, and I don't remember what they look like at all.

[Andy P]

Yeah, Goad is worth buying, definitely.
And the second of Ashely Wood's 'Sparrow' series is all about Phil. Worth buying (http://www.amazon.com/Sparrow-Phil-Hale/dp/1600100406/sr=8-1/qid=1168295617/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-7753168-4310834?ie=UTF8&s=books). It's small, 6"x6"-ish, but does a good job of summing up his catalog. And it's cheap.
His relaxeder and mockingbirds books are both awesome, too, but they deal more with his drawing and fine art stuff. I think Budplant.com still has those.

I've tried collecting all his comic cover work, but have only a couple of the Swamp Thing covers and 2 of the covers he did for the series Flinch. And the weird war tales cover he did.

He's a sick mofo.

Yah, sparrow are neat little books to carry around too. I haven't seen the jon foster or phil hale one but the ashley wood is pretty damn good and worth the low price.

[bhanu]

Intially even I thought I would buy GOad But you know what it costs 500 $(minus shipping and packaging charges) . I cant afford that kinda money. I would prefer to buy more no of books which are cheaper. Man I wish I could buy it , but cant do mych here.
Ahh well........

[Mitchell]

You could buy Goad on that allen spiegal site for only 45 dollars. it says "limited supply", but doesn't say sold out yet..

Also, a question for everyone: is that a picture of mr Hale when you click on his name? if so, are there any more pictures of him? just curious... i cant seem to find some.

[bhanu]

actually this site here
https://secure.grantbooks.com/z-artists-phil-hale.html
Read dwon teh page trade sold out deluxe 350 $ I stil cant afford it.
And here at allem speigel site you have to send checks. I can only pay online. so thats out of the question. bummer..........

[Mitchell]

well it's not like you have to have the special edition hardcover. (although it would be great to have.) The paper back would do just fine and you it's 300 dollars less! haha. the reason why the limted edition cost so much is becuase it comes with an orginal drawing from the man himself..

I guess you could always bug you friends/parents/whomever to pay with a check and you can reimburse them.

you'll find a way, it's worth the effort. goodluck.

[bhanu]

Actually I ran out of luck when my dad refused to give a cheque just now.still thanks for the support guys.

Thank you so effing much for that link, sir!

...so many times have there been threads started about Phil..I doubt he even knows he's in demand like this....:)

i might be mistaken, so forgive me if i sound like im talking nonsense, but i think i remember you once saying you knew him in person?
if so.. drag his ASS here

[Rich Pellegrino]

I doubt he would post on a online forum. From the couple of times I met him, I got that he isn't a computer kind of guy. He talks about it in an interview he did for Fantasy Art Masters vol. 2 book. Which is a good read I must add. He's deep man, real deep. Take a look at that god-forsaken website of his.

Is there any new work in the Sparrow book that wasn't in Goad or Mockingbirds/relaxeder?

[Molly]

yes to the first part, and no to the second...soz..

yeah, i understand, if i were in his boots i'd probably be too busy or nonchalant to join too.
its cool that you know him though, impossible to find even a picture of the guy, seems kinda secretive...

[ikuru]

I dont know if this is a issue with different titles in different countrys, but the book Ive seen in my library was called "Fantasy Art Masters" and has a dragon ot the cover... The book itself (according to my taste anyways) was not worth the money, the Phil Hale interview on the other hand, is one of the better texts I have read from an artist.. It explains certain aspects of the process that really make good sense to how one should think..

Personally I think Phil Hale is the most interesting contemporary artist for the time being anyways...
My Goad book should be in the mail any day now...
It's not the easyest book to find.. I found it with a decent price tag in a danish online store.

[Barts]

i agree buy his books

[deltron05]

Buy GOAD It's by far my favorite book in therms of illustrations! PH is one of the greatest painters that we have today ! I know that there are a lot of ppl that are good...even better than good...but this book is a collection of different works Photo, Sketches, and of course paintings ! Worth every penny if u can still get it !
Peace

[timpaatkins]

Right now you can get a used copy of goad for 95 bucks on amazon, and a new for 139. Im glad I got mine for 30 something!

[kev ferrara]

I love Phil Hale.

I have deleted my reference to Berry because it was asinine and I apologize. A good artist should not be villified for perceived minor faults. I hope everybody who has read this thread accepts my apologies.

Thanks,
kev

[Rich Pellegrino]

And just as much crummy berry stuff.

What's with you bashing Berry all the time?

[kev ferrara]

I'm sorry if I offended you and bashed your friend. I'm sure if I met him I'd like him too. Please see the edit of my above post for further info.

kev

[ciots]

man, reminds me i need a berry book. the guy has the most fucking energy ever, awesome.
thanks for the reminder to read GOad again, too :P

[Rich Pellegrino]

No worries Kev. We're all entitled to our opinion! I was just taken back by the comment. I remember you saying something similar in a post you made a while back. Thanks for being cool about it.

Berry has a new Sparrow book coming out soon with a bunch of new work. His website is need of an update terribly. He's sitting on too much new stuff.

[ikuru]

"Goad" can Not be found for anything less than 90 us at the moment...
But the good news, there will be a new edition later this year...

[Penumbra]

One of the things that I have always liked about Phil Hale is that some of his pieces have a sort of "spotlight" lighting scheme. They almost look like stylized polaroid flash photography. That bit of realism makes even some of his more distorted figures totally believable. I've always wanted to see him illustrate "The Darktower" series.

Since you brought up Berry, here is an older original pencil piece of his that I have. I thought someone might like to see it.

Also I know some people who own Phil H. originals. I will try to get some images of them. I believe this to be
educational and "fair use", so it should be ok.

[Lukias]

How'd you score an oldschool original?. Thats coolness right there.

[diablo7]

i have an issue of tripwire with an interview with hale in it...really good interview with a pic of him and some of his art..

[timpaatkins]

MAn, whoever designed that relaxander/mockingbirds site need to have his hands chopped off. I gave up.

Really diggin the Hale illos for dark tower.

[Penumbra]

I have some art collector friends and I had seen this piece pass through a few hands. It eventually landed with someone that owed me money so I jumped on it.


timpaatkins- Thanks for mentioning the series illos.I must have had that in my brain somewhere. Now I have to go look them up. I would love to see more Gunslinger work from him but thats probably not in the cards.

[timpaatkins]

Penumbra, there are quite a few of his dark tower ones on the allan speigel site.

[bumskee]

Definitely worth buying goad.. I love that book.. hehe..
also jeff jones book u can easily purchase I think...

[diablo7]

i have a jon foster book coming in the mail tomorrow..can't wait for that
