Artist Insight...
"This painting was done as part of the portfolio that I was shopping around to comic book publishers at the time. Sadly, I thought that I needed to do what was popular or trendy at the time in order to be considered by the major comics publishers. A lot of the work that I produced back then makes me cringe now. Much of It was totally compromised and without any character, however, this piece is an exception. It was at this time that I decided to quit trying to get published by the big comics companies. I still loved the comics medium but felt that I needed a break from it so I stopped working on my comic related projects. In the 90s Marvel and DC were starting to realize that their readers wanted more variety than what they were offering. A major change was starting to take place in comics, but it would be another decade before it really started to become apparent. At this very moment, comics are on the cusp of finally making good on the promise that started to take form in the 90s. Now there are real opportunities for artists to produce mature, involved works and have them published by major book publishers and sold in major book stores across the country. It is because of this change that I have decided to return to drawing comics myself. I have some ideas that will eventually get previewed via my blog on this site. From this point onward the sky's the limit."
