Ekos Genesis Art Inspirations: Michael Turner Original
Original pencil drawings by Michael Turner. They're the foundation of the artistic families of 1/1 original hand-crafted digital art that make up the Ekos Genesis Art Collection ⤵️
I'm extremely honored for the time David Maisel has spent w/ me sharing his passion & dreams for what he will create in this space. The @Mythos_Studios team will be unstoppable.
If anyone can turn a dream into a reality, it's the Founder of Marvel Studios.
Things are changing.
The Marvel Auditions picture, featuring our Founder David, was originally created by Marvel in 2007. This was before the Marvel Cinematic Universe even existed.
It was recreated for our new Ekos Universe and shared in our recent The Hollywood Reporter feature.
We love to see all of our friends in one place…

Highlights from today's Twitter Spaces – The Return of Marvel Studios' Founder: Countdown to Ekos
David mentioned he hasn’t been this excited since right before the Iron Man opening.
Luckily, we have a video of that moment from 15 years ago last night – April 30, 2008.
@MaiselDavid at the Iron Man premiere ⤵️
Michael Turner’s original pencils paired with David Maisel’s vision and experience came together to form the genesis of a whole new entertainment universe.
The art was just the beginning.

To launch our Ekos universe, we started with the Ekos Genesis Art Collection.
We left no stone unturned in our quest to create visually impactful, awe-inspiring works of art.
This morning, @Sillytuna asked @MaiselDavid what would've happened in the multiverse if David hadn't gone to Marvel in 2003.
Answer: There would be no MCU! 😳
The Co-CEO of Marvel at the time, John Turitzin, clearly agreed.
Here is his handwritten note from 15 years ago today: May 1, 2008.
David mentioned that 15 years ago today, The Financial Times ran a profile about his founding of the new Marvel Studios.
We found the FT picture of @MaiselDavid with his favorite Iron Man statue, which we can attest, he still has in his office ⤵️
