A BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE: The artist was born 70 years ago on Sept. 4, 1953…
Artist Paul Smith — who’s turning 70 — and DIY colorist Rich Seetoo are a great match. Paul posts his commissions online and Rich goes and colors them for fun.
The results? Fab.
So dig this birthday salute to Paul Smith with 13 classic DC characters selected and colored by Rich.
Right on.

Just realized the article referenced Paul’s commissions but no details to say where/how. Anyone know? (Please don’t say FB.)

Happy Birthday Mr Smith. Love his work on the Golden Age series and of course X-men and his Dr Strange run which I wish he had stayed longer.

Oh, my! I’ll have to turn 70 more often. Please tell C2 he’s A-OK!
Happy Trails

Paul’s interpretation of Batman is a good midway point between the Golden Age version and more modern renderings. Kudos!
