JAWS-- best film ever made! woohoo! Man versus nature at its finest. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the shark looks fake…they will replace “bruce” digitally on the 35 year anniversary, trust me. Best movie to watch with someone you love: Conan The Barbarian. Citizen Kane sucks pure ass. Stop putting this film on the top 100 lists—nobody wants to see it twice. Apocalypse Now, Gladiator, BLADE RUNNER!, Lord of the Rings, Dumb and Dumber. Best recent movie: Apocalypto

From his unforgettable covers for MARVEL COMICS to his colossal painting of the 2004 US OLYMPIC BASKETBALL TEAM, it is not difficult to come across illustrator Greg Horn’s work. Over the past 5 years, Greg has blazed a path in four different artistic industries. From his hundreds of hyper-detailed comic book covers for Marvel Comics, to his outstanding work on more than 20 advertising campaigns, Greg continues to be one of the most sought after artists in the United States. Since 2002, Greg has been commissioned to illustrate over 60 magazine covers-- an astounding average of one cover every month for 5 years! Greg has worked on advertising and gaming assignments in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Germany, and Hong Kong including campaigns for major sporting events such as the Olympics in Athens, Greece, and the FA CUP in the UK. His work in the print medium brought him to the attention of the video game world where he has illustrated high profile projects with the biggest names in the gaming industry including Electronic Arts, Universal Studios, and Sony Interactive. More recently, Greg has widened his artistic accomplishments even further, delving into novel covers with work at Random House and Penguin books, and creating box art for the boardgames Kryptonite Crisis and Stratego. Greg Horn is best known for his artwork on MARVEL COMIC’s titles ELEKTRA and EMMA FROST. He is currently the regular cover artist on the acclaimed series SHE-HULK and MS. MARVEL.

Greg, you need to get over to scotland next year - the festival is on, loadsa artyfarty stuff - weve even got our own film festival, but thats earlier in the year. If you ever come to scotland and need a pad then we can set you and your family up - on our big couch (it beats hotel bills and we are directly in between glasgow and edinburgh). You will just have to prepare yourselves for full scottish breakfasts - black pudding, haggis, fried egg, bread and butter, beans, mushrooms and brown sauce. Take care from the Cochranes x
Just to let you know that the next Marvel figure we get (we have a monthly sub for Marvel figures) is none other than Ms Marvel - Adam was well impressed - because in this months Marvel your illustration of her is in it. Adam told his pals "thats the guy oan the computer - he dis aw the drawins and ma mum goat a message fae him" - scots added for effect :D .
In case I havent told ya lately,you are one of my very favorite artist ever.I will always appreciate what you put into your art!I just wanted you to know.
Hope you can come to the UK at some point - especially Scotland, you may have to pack a few woolies though and some midge repellant - midges are like mosquitoes but arent as big, but they are little buggers.. but Im sure that wont hold you back from visiting old blighty. Hope you and family are well - Amy got the message and was well chuffed... thankyou.
Thankyou for the lovely comment - my daughter is well pi**ed at not getting a mention in your email - but thats her fault for not being a fan of comic art :D. Glad you liked the youtube tribute - I told everyone at work and the art dept were well impressed!!! Although I know you are probably busy - please say hello to Amy so we can restore peace in our home. Honestly I wont ask for anything else, but she is 13 and everything is a major incident.
PS if anyone wants to see the vid then Ive added it to my myspace profile.
