Alex Ross is a comic book artist who contributed to BOOM! Studios' Planet of the Apes: Cataclysm. In his mid twenties he was hired by Marvel Comics to illustrate Marvel's central characters in the comic book event, Marvels (1994). Ross continued to establish himself as one of a kind artist with his realistic yet heroic painting style art of superheroes that matched the likes from MarvelsĀ“s POTA Magazine.
In recent years, Ross has applied his artistic skills to outside projects with comic book roots, including a limited-edition promotional poster for the Academy Awards. In 2015, Alex was chosen by Apple Corps LTD to be commissioned as the first artist in over 30 years to paint the Fab Four. Driven by the Beatles legendary music and inspired by the generation's new trends in art, "Yellow Submarine" is a classic of animated cinema. Alex has often been referred to as 'the Norman Rockwell of comics' yet his "Yellow Submarine" piece reveals the similarly powerful influence of master surrealist Salvador Dali, whom Alex has also recognized as a guiding influence on his style.
