Old, old art. Almost a decade ago. Don’t think I posted it here, but it came back up in memories, and man, I missed this kind of work! Book covers in ink and watercolor.

Also I know the movie pisses off a lot of fans, but I still think the red death costume for the movie slaps in that. For stage, probably not, but on film, hellll yeahhhh.

(Also he looks like he’s mimicking Raoul, and that’s on point for the character.)

Credits

Where might we know you from? - Recently, I worked as the

cover artist, and interior pencil artist for the Artful comic

series from Action Lab Entertainment. I have also been

featured in several comic anthologies, including Valor,

Then it was Dark, and Secret Loves of Geek Girls.

Which volume of Ladies Night Anthology did you work on? – I was in

Volume 3 : How to Magic

 What’s next for you? – I’m looking to do some work on

personal projects. :)

Background

 How did you become a comics fan? - I casually always read

comics and manga. As a kid, my parents would get me

Disney comics from the grocery store, and I was secretly

reading Elfquest whenever I was in the library and could

sneak it away to the kids section. In high school and middle

school I had a massive artist crush on Rumiko Takahashi.

When I got into my early 20’s and found Neil Gaiman’s The

Sandman comics, and Marian Churchland’s Beast, I was

sold.

Who are your biggest writing/art influences? – I try to take

influences from areas outside of comics, as well as inside.

As a creative person, I have deep respect and owe a lot to

the influence of the Impressionists (particularly Degas), and

Klimt, as well as authors like Charlotte Bronte and Tanith

Lee. As far as current comics, I dig a lot of the stuff that’s

coming out of web comics, and of course, have a love for

Marian Churchland’s work. I’m also kind of a nerd for

Adrian Alphona’s work, especially in Miss Marvel.

I’d also be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that at one point I

wanted to be in theater, and also wanted to be an animator,

so Broadway musicals and Disney/Miyazaki/animation in

general are deep pools of inspiration for me.

At the risk of sounding like an ass, I think its best to try and

find inspiration anywhere you can. Why limit yourself to one

medium, or one kind of storytelling outlet. People are

complex, we should honor that.

 What is your dream job? There are so many things I still want to do. I’m not sure I can really limit it to one thing. I work in comics, but I’d also

like to write novels, and I’m deeply interested in trying to

learn more about science, medicine, and social work.

I am not entirely sure what my dream job is. The one thing

I’ve learned about dreams is that they constantly are in flux.

As you change, they change. At the moment, I just want to

make cool, engaging things and try to help people around

me better.

What work are you most proud of?

I’m pretty happy with Artful, as it was my first title as a solo

penciller and cover artist.

Why do you want to work in comics?

Comics are such an amazing, diverse, low cost, medium. I

feel like that’s as close as you can get to complete control.

Aside from sound, the artist and author is in charge of

everything. It’s a lot of responsibility, and sometimes, it

makes for some awkwardly revealing work, but there is a

sincerity to it that I really enjoy.

I mean, even when you’re getting into something that’s

much more tightly controlled like licensed characters, I

loved that you can still be like “That’s John Romita Sr.’s

Spiderman!” or “That’s totally Humberto Ramos work!”

There is still a lot more of the individual apparent. I kind of

love that it can be so intimate on a small, indie level, but

even when you get to mainstream comics in any genre, you

can see the fingerprints of many different people on it at

different times.

Advice

 What helps you get into a creative headspace?

Musicals, a good nights rest, exercise, talking with friends

and novels. The older I get, the more I firmly believe that

creative headspaces are fueled by the world they come

from. No artist can help but be a product of their

environment, so, it helps to have a good environment.

Best critique you’ve ever had?

“Just because you put your heart into it, doesn’t mean

anyone is obligated to like it.” I think a lot of times, because

artists put so much of themselves into their work, we can

feel devastated and defensive when people critique us.

Learning that everyone has a right to dislike your stuff for

any reason, and that it is not a reflection on you as a

person is, I think, a fundamental skill for any creative

person to develop.

Also “Damnit, you’ve been sitting in the chair for 8 hours.

Go, take a break!”

Take breaks…legit. Take care of your body as best you

can.

Best piece of career advice you’ve ever received?

Don’t abuse your body by overworking it. Also, don’t take

on work you aren’t interested in.

What advice would you give to creators just starting out?

Be patient and don’t quit your day job until art pays most

the bills. When you have to depend on something as

unpredictable as art to survive, it can wear you out. By being

patient and allowing your art and reputation to develop over time,

without being dependent on it to survive, you can approach it

much more healthily.

Do you have any specific writing/art tips?

Don’t take inspiration from only one source. If you only

watch anime, read something completely out of left field

like a theoretical non-fiction science book, or watch a

medical drama. Any time you pull inspiration from varied

sources, it gives you a better understanding of what works

in some media and what doesn’t…also, you just get more

interesting ideas that way.

Nothing will ever really feel perfect, and most artists

actually dislike their own work as soon as it’s done. Don’t

seek perfection, perfection takes time, and its subjective.

Seek completion.

How do you relax?

Novels in the bath tub. And cats, and cooking, and delightful

little coffee shops.

Industry

 How long have you been working in comics?

This is my 3 rd year working in the industry, going on 4.

Realistically, if I count in school, and hobby comics, I’ve been

trying to sort this out for about 7-8 years now.

Do you have a day job?

Yes and no. Currently I’m a full time artist, but I do tend to

run a lot of errands for people, and I’m interested in

learning new job skills.

Have you seen changes in the industry since you joined?

Yes! I think we’re starting to see more respect for Indie comics,

story telling and style in general, and there is a LOT more room

for small press and indie press to get their work out in the public,

which I love, because that’s what I tend to gravitate towards

anyway. 

Favorite convention

I don’t have a fave per se, but I definitely enjoy smaller

cons like Mocca, Vancaf and Dink that lean more towards

small press publishers. That being said, Emerald City

Comic Con, and Geek Girl Con are always a blast for me.

The former for being so insanely massive and having so

much talent, and the latter just because it’s so fun! I love

the environment that convention has been developing.

Found this older piece while cleaning up some files. I don't believe I've posted it online on my own accounts.

Did this as a reward for the Terminal #1 Anthology. I can't remember what the prompt was, but I was in a vaguely Klimt mood! Kudos to Steve Ekstrom for letting me roll with the theme.

Ink and watercolor, some photoshop. 2018
