The Lord of Light Art series was envisioned and designed by
Barry Ira Geller and Jack Kirby, based upon Geller's screenplay.
Each was drawn with incendiary brilliance by Jack and inked
with devastating intensity by Mike Royer. Each Kirby architectual
masterpiece was created both as a film set design and theme
park illustration. Each Art Print portrays the same kick-ass,
roving birds-eye view style Jack was famous for, ranging from
the power of Captain America and Fantastic Four, to the majesty
of Thor and the New Gods. As depicted in Wired Magazine May
2007, this is one of the Lord Of Light prints CIA spies used
to secretly free six American Hostages from Iran. This drawing, called Brahma's Supremacy is one of the most amazing Lord of Light drawings Jack created from a creative session most amazing. Feel the true power and passion of work of Jack "King" Kirby. |

Jack Kirby: This is actually the first version Jack did of the Royal Chambers of Brahma. It's Jack's concepts of (God) Odin-like omnipotence. Like many of our seminal discussions which preceeded new drawings, we talked more about Space Beings with vast inter-dimensional power like being able to be aware of many planets at the same time. I mean, this is what the Brahma of the novel, Lord of Light was trying to impress everyone with -- so why not have his personal building which flaunted it all? Here Jack truly did something remarkable -- attempting to display Brahma's consciousness amd omnipotence and vision of different beings, all springing from his awareness, The Creator! Sotheby's Director of Auctions, Jerry Weist,thought this one to be thesingle most valuable piece of the whole set. To him, it was the essense of Kirby all over! Lord of Light: In the Novel, there is nothing called the Royal Chambers of Brahma - Interior or Exterior. There does exist a meeting of Brahma and the rest of the Gods and I thought, well, these guys just don't meet in a bar! So I got the idea of the pomp and circumstance of Brahma's Chambers! Additionally, in the novel, Brahma does allude to his Pavilion of Joys as the ultimate pleasure palace to take Kali and explore her charms, in exchange for extending Sam's life. But Brahma -- and all the rest of the Gods, have had to live somewhere fantastic! So I came up with this stuff and brought it all to Jack. Science Fiction Land: I envisioned this as a 100-150 foot holographic projection at the top of the Chambers of Brahma. Viewed from different angles, the revolving Artificial Gardens (the Gardens of Brahma) appear to be revolving, appearing, or dissappearing, depending upon where from where the person is looking.
