Hello, I'm new to conceptart.org. I've been working professionally in the comic book industry since 1994 mostly as a ghost artist or assistant. Currently I'm working with Scott Clark inking his pencil work & helping with backgrounds on Brightest Day for DC Comics. Enough about that here are some sketches. Thanks for checking them out.

I really like your drawing for the concept of cyber bullying. I can't believe what a big problem that's become. It's really scary when you think about it. I've actually been thinking about maybe trying to get into the comic book industry but I've been going through other things in my life right now. Looking at your work makes me want to give inking a try again. You have a nice style. Keep it up.

I saw 'Let Me In' this weekend and haven't been able to get it out of my head. Here's a quick sketch of Abby. It's a good film and I'm going to buy it when it comes out on blu-ray. Still not sure if she cared or just played the boy.
