Testimonials
“For the new Jack & Roz Kirby Awards, there was intense pressure to get the award statue done quickly and perfectly. My design was unique and demanding with critical, subtle components that were either going to come together magically or fail miserably. I knew that Carlos was the right artist for the task due to his incredible care, consideration, passion, experience, and talent. He delivered a stunning piece that we’ll all be proud to show the world and award annually to some of the greatest artists in our industry.”
– Kasra Ghanbari, CEO of Comic Art Fans on behalf of The Kirby Estate and Kirby Museum & Research Center
Artist’s Thoughts
An Award Unlike Any Other…
…to recognize a unique legacy that continues to inform an industry and art form, decades after the creator’s passing.
When Kasra approached me to sculpt the trophy for the Kirby Awards, he had a defined concept that he’d crafted with a great deal of thought and consideration –creating an iconic representation of Jack Kirby’s studio, complete with visual cues and flourishes that defined it as quintessentially “Kirby”—while including less obvious clues that encouraged a deeper investigation of the details to unlock the piece’s hidden messages. How to translate those esoteric and profound concepts into a sculpture was up to me.
We spoke about the etchings of Albrecht Dürer, specifically Melancholia and St. Jerome, and the artist’s journey, specifically the abnegation of the ego and the challenges of creating art.
We spoke about many things.
And then I got to work. Inspired, I started sculpting what turned out to be a lovely portrait figurine of Jack.
“That’s not it.”
We talked some more. Things clicked and fell into place. During a FaceTime call, I reached for the nearest piece of paper—a comic book backing board of all things—and started scribbling while we spoke. When I held it up to show Kasra, all he said was, “Start sculpting.”
A couple of subsequent calls and reviews, and several extra small details I dropped in to intrigue the recipients, and we had our piece; an heirloom to ponder on a shelf as a celebratory recognition and a confrontational statement, “You’ve done great work, but the work must go on… your legacy awaits.”
We wondered if people would get it. The reception was lovely. Gratifying.
But the challenge echoes in the ether.
“There’s no time to rest on your laurels. What’s next?”
I can’t wait to find out.

• Subject/concept
• Desired size*
• Material preferences

* I prefer to work in the 1/6 scale, so figures generally stand between 14” — 24” tall. I am open to work in other scales and dimensions, but require an extra consultation round to discuss and accommodate these types of adjustments.
