Representation of original artwork, pencil drawn on paper during the summer of 1995.
I really was awed, pushed to look up to these kind of artists that constantly concentrated on small detail, hence easily leading me into the digital realm with an acute sense of detail in everything that I do with my multi media work.
Line work has always fascinated me when it came to detail, for every stroke of the pencil can change the way certain details look to the naked eye. I always prided myself in recreating these drawings closer than possible so that I could study the way they affected the drawings presentation overall.
Drawn with pencil and paper during the summer of 1996.
Spawn has always been one of my favorite characters of the time as a teenager, maybe because of the backstory that was created, which was outstandingly written and always creatively out there with their followup comic series that followed the original spawn comics series.
Drawn with pencil and paper during the summer of 1997.
I became a huge fan of image comics because at the time they were the new, the underdog compared to marvel comics and i wanted to be a part of this, as i had always been raised to root for the underdog. These comics certainly got me through some hard times as a teenager in many different ways, to this day I’am thankful that I was gifted a talent that got me this far in life. Always pursue your dreams, even if no one believes in them in the same way that you do, never give up your dreams for others.
