Congratulations to 16-year-old Alexander Stojanov from Sofia, Bulgaria, for his winning entry in the November 2004 SuperHeroHype! Christopher Reeve tribute art contest. At that time, Alexander was attending a fine arts high school in his country. A truly unique and inspiring image of Christopher Reeve...well done Alexander!

Portrait artist Kristopher B Meadows' 'Someone To Believe In' flag painting was created in 1998. I made a print of the original piece for Christopher Reeve and sent it to his New York home in 2001. Chris was very touched and impressed by it, and wrote Kris a personal letter to thank him. How incredible is that?! The print proudly hung behind Chris' office desk until his house was sold after his and Dana's passing, and can be seen in many television specials. You can see Chris with his print here. Kris painted this Reeve/Brando piece on linen for me. I will cherish it forever Kris, thanks.

Don't miss the "DREAMS" poster series below by Ramón Casares. These incredible images contain the now famous 'Dreams' quote by Christopher Reeve. Ramón also colorized many of editorial cartoons dedicated to both Chris and Dana Reeve that are featured below.

'Superman Soars' is an outstanding piece by artist Iskandar Salim. Here is his explanation on how he created it: "Took me weeks to complete this...have to switch between my work and this. This one is entirely original, except for the background and the face. Here's the breakdown:

Hands: Both were taken from different photos, re-painted and added some reflections to stay with the consistency of the lighting.

Costume: Generated using Poser. Shield, belt and trunk were first created with CorelDraw, exported as EPS to Photoshop then used as mask selection. The rest are lots of airbrushing job.

Cape: Same with the costume, created with CorelDraw, exported and bla bla bla. While working on this part, I realized and discovered the technique how to create that “light reflection on velvet” look.

Head: This was the most time-consuming part. I re-painted the whole face and neck, since the original source (a Donner Superman II photo from CapedWonder.com) came in low-res. The hair is a combination of existing image with pencil sketches.

Background: A combination of two images, sky and city (New York). I gave it a blue-ish tone so that the Superman looks stand-out.
