I'll have to add this guy to ComicArtTracker, thanks for the discovery!

No problem. Glad to hear it! Dave certainly deserves recognition.

Also, glad to meet (kind of) the comic art tracker guy! Your site is beyond awesome!

I've been thinking of founding my own comic art related database (not relating to currently for sale art), but I don't have the start up funds.

Go ahead! You don't need a lot of money, only software development skills and a lot of time! :makepoint:

Thank you! I don't have the software development skills, which is where the $ might need to come in.

Can I ask what he did for her? No pressure if it's too personal. 

 

But yeah, great guy to work with.

I had him draw my wife as a comic book character in a panel page that I scripted. A day in her work life. He did a great job reproducing her likeness and using reference photos. He’s especially talented at drawing likenesses.

That's an awesome idea! Glad he did it well for the two of you.

That's awesome. Love the facial expressions! 

Did Dave do the lettering as well?!?

Dave did the whole thing. He sent me his roughs and breakdowns before he finished it. We followed the Marvel Method. I write a -script and suggested panel progression, he drew and lettered it.
