Meeting The Greats: Brandon Routh

I’m a big fan of Brandon Routh’s casting as Superman in Superman Returns so this was a huge occasion for me. This was all thanks to Speedy Comics for having invited me to be one of their special guests as part of their retail store grand opening at City Walk 2 in Dubai. Before the show, I knew I had to sketch him on one of my Superman #1 sketch covers and get him to sign it, which was exactly what I did. He was quite impressed to say the least! Along with my sketch cover, I was also requested...

My first experience was joining a live drawing session he had in one of the conference rooms which was full of spectators.

The four of us got along really well together and naturally gravitated towards each other here and there for the duration of the trip. Andy is honestly one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met. Absolutely love...

Meeting My Inspirations: J. Scott Campbell

J.Scott Campbell has most certainly been an artist that has influenced the bigger portion of my creative development. When the breakthrough opportunity came to fly out all the way from South Africa to attend San Diego Comic Con in 2014 as a guest artist for Bandai Namco, I had to take advantage. Below, I'm at the Bandai Namco booth being interviewed by EDGYARMO for having worked on Outcast Odyssey. I was very excited to meet J. Scott Campbell at this very same show. Heading over to his booth, I discovered a long queue of people waiting to get their opportunity to meet...
