— Artist Tom Bunk, the only active veteran GPK artist for this release, completed ten cards for the Battles subset and in which only four were published and where two of the four were changed in-house by Topps. The superheroes and villians GPK themed set, as a whole, was supposed to be slightly larger with 10 Battles cards and 10 Full Comic cards as listed on the initial product release material, but greatly reduced. The Topps company secured a multi-year licensing pact with Marvel and the Marvel Super Hero Universe back in 1999; it isn't fully known why Topps backed-off from parodying Marvel and its characters for this release and mainly concentrated on the DC characters. Partial images for the unpublished Bunk pieces can be located on the back of a few of the 2014S2 card backs; 122b with Saber-Tooth TYLER, 124b with VICTOR Von Gloom, 126b Beelze BUBBA, 130b Magnetic MAGNUS, et cetera for the villians, whereas the superheroes are not pictured whatsover. Juxtapoz magazine published an interview with Tom Bunk for their August 2014 issue and posted the following image to their Instagram account with the full artwork image with VICTOR Von Gloom. — Next-generation GPK artist Fred Harper is finally back for a bonus card image for characters B18a Fishy FELIPE & B18b Puffed PAUL; with concept artwork by Brent Engstrom. Harper's previous artwork contribution was for the ANS7 GPK release. Harper also completed sketch cards for the 2014S1 set and will be participating in sketch cards for the upcoming 2015S1 set next year. — Besides Simko and Engstrom, the third next-gen GPK artist to work with IDW is none other than Mark Pingitore who scored the 'regular version' comic cover; the image can be seen above within the 'Fun Facts' with the last GPK Facebook Ads. Pingitore's GPK artwork continues to get tighter and more polished with each set released and is the third highest contributor for final artwork and concepts for this release; color rough for cards 77a MOE Angle & 77b Turned LEIF is pictured below. — The largest contributor to the 2014S2 set is GPK artist Brent Engstrom who contributed more than twenty-eight paintings for the recent set and numerous concepts that were completed by other artists. Engstrom starts with a digital 'pencil rough' and tight penicl which is then placed within a GPK template from Topps as a 'color rough' that displays the GPK header, nameplate, 'PEEL HERE' arrow and die-cut outline; thus giving a size comparison and proper placement. The final artwork is manually painted, scanned and turned into Topps for production. The orginal concept for cards #67 with four less teeth, the color rough for cards #73 with a different color floor and walls and concept for cards #79 with no kids: ABOVE: The original concept for cards #91 with no body and just a head with breaking teeth; for cards #92 with a full body instead of a bust shot and the concept for cards #111 with a head and not self-painting himself. BELOW: The original concept for cards #94 with body upright and the image placed horizontal. — Due to the staggering number of card images painted by artist Brent Engstrom, and turning in 40+ concepts to Topps for the release, several gags were completed by other artists. Considering tight deadlines it's not always possible to paint all of your own concepts. Artists may also be given extra assignments if deadlines are met or if too many approved concepts need to be assiged and finished by other artists. The original concept for cards #113 changed to character coming out of the artwork and hammering his own nail and for cards #128, a Robocop 'Hobo'cop parody, changed to an Iron Man parody by Colin Walton (the art director) for the superhero theme of cards completed by Layron DeJarnette. — Next-generation GPK artist Layron DeJarnette is back in a big way drawing sketch cards and signing autograph cards as well as single-handedly tackling the GPK superheroes subset within the regular 2014S2 base set; the cohesiveness really shows in these eleven stand-out pieces which are the only rare cards with C-names and art variants images. — Newcomer GPK sketch card artist Dustin Graham, no stranger to the Wacky Packages community, came up with several concepts for the last GPK set with Brent Engstrom and has contributed sketch cards for this new GPK release. Graham has an inking style very similar to Jay Lynch, with nice thick penstrokes, and his sketch cards hit home with a strong nostalgic Original Series feel and really adds to the GPK canon. His portrait sketches of Brent Engstrom's current Kids make them already feel classic. — Wacky Packages and GPK artist extraordinaire David Gross found time in his busy WP schedule to submit GPK concepts and complete two paintings himself. Character artwork for bonus cards #B16 is similar to one of the ANS6 concept pieces turned in to Topps by artist Fred Wheaton, both pictured below, respectively—another busy Wacky Pack-er that has little time for GPK work, but turns in stunning sketch cards release after release. Artists that turn in the same concept happens quite often, even within the same series release; for one incident, three artists all turned in a similar concept piece for the same set, usually the first one submitted is selected. — GPK artist Joe Simko, of 'Wax Eye' that released the satirical parody sets Cereal Killers and Stupid Heroes, is the second highest contributor to the 2014S2 release. Simko finished a Where's Waldo-type parody card over a period of three days, off-and-on, using water colors and white paint for the highlights; the piece for cards #97 has a staggering number of GPK characters in the artwork and thankfully can be found as a 9-piece puzzle within the set in order to enjoy the detail up close. The image was a tribute artwork piece of sorts to Tom Bunk after Simko and Co. for the upcoming 30 Years of Garbage documentary after they visited his studio in New York for an interview. The piece is very reminiscent of Bunk's crowded scene artwork for MAD magazine. — Two Rejected Artwork pieces painted by Mark PIngitore and Dave Gross remain unpublished by Topps, respsectively, the first showing of oven mitt GPK getting the hand at the end of the padded 'thumb' finger burned on the tray of cookies and a samurai slicing his kimono off with his katana witha spray of blood droplets. — Several of the superhero reverse card backs contain GPK WANTED posters, a nostalgic throwback to the OS3 and OS4 GPK releases. Pat Barrett wrote all of the bios for the reverse card backs and the artwork and writing for all of the Comic Backs was completed by Pat Barrett and Colin Walton.
