quick hit:
I'm currently attending Central Florida Community College and the University of Central Florida to finish up my AA for business management. My true interest is obviously illustration, especially of the traditional, "old school" comic book variety. I hope to be able to join up with Marvel, DC, or any other respectible company some day and go on to put out my own books. As for now, I draw in class, and use Void for practice on my sequentials.
influences:
Jim Lee, obviously. My favorite, and to me, the best at what he does.
Alex Ross. The guy is amazing and his work brings a new level of life to his books.
Jae Lee. His use of blacks amazes me every time I see his work.
Mike Turner. He seems to have gotten over that whole 'making every woman look the exact same' thing.
Joe Mad. Hasn't been in comics for a while, but still had good stuff.
John Flynn. The stuff I've been seeing by him lately amazes me. I love his blacks. And the contrast is beautiful.
