Alex Ross - Other Work

Other Work

  • Alex Ross drew the cover picture on the Anthrax albums We've Come for You All, Music of Mass Destruction and Worship Music.
  • Ross designed a series of costumes for the 2002 film Spider-Man, but director Sam Raimi instead chose not to use them. In the film's video game tie-in, as an easter egg, it is possible to unlock a playable version of Ross' Spider-Man design. When using this, the Green Goblin will also feature one of Ross' unused character outfits. As such, Ross was commissioned to do a series of drawings for the opening credits of Spider-Man 2, which recapped the major events from the first film. Ross' suit was also featured as an unlockable costume and also available in a white version in the PlayStation game Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro.
  • The cover of the 'Savior of the Universe Edition' DVD of the 1980 film Flash Gordon, released on August 7, 2007 featured a cover painted by Ross. An avid fan of the film, he starred in a featurette on the DVD where he discussed the movie, which he names as his favorite movie of all time.
  • Ross painted the Kollectors Edition cover for the console game Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. A smaller version of this painting is included on a separate textured card inside the case. He is also featured in his own segment on the Blu-ray/DVD included in the package.
  • In 2008 Ross created a print of George W. Bush as a vampire sucking the blood from Lady Liberty entitled "Bush Sucking Democracy Dry" as well as a print of Barack Obama as a superhero entitled "Time For A Change". The latter was made into a T-shirt, with which Obama was seen posing in a photo on Ross' website.
  • In 2012, Ross drew promotional artwork of Connor Kenway, the main character of the game Assassin's Creed III, used on the cover of the April 2012 issue of Game Informer and the collectible steelbook case provided with certain editions of the game.

Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “Racism is when you have laws set up, systematically put in a way to keep people from advancing, to stop the advancement of a people. Black people have never had the power to enforce racism, and so this is something that white America is going to have to work out themselves. If they decide they want to stop it, curtail it, or to do the right thing ... then it will be done, but not until then.”
    —Spike Lee (b. 1956)

    “I am not describing a distant utopia, but the kind of education which must be the great urgent work of our time. By the end of this decade, unless the work is well along, our opportunity will have slipped by.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
