I was also the artist of BLACK LIGHTNING YEAR ONE, which heavily informed the current CW TV series featuring the character, and was key in redefining the Renee Montoya/Question character with Greg Rucka. In 2010, wrote and illustrated RED: EYES ONLY, a prequel to the original RED mini-series that I co-created. In 2011 and 2012, I've was, along with Jim Lee, the character design lead for DC Comics' New 52 relaunch of the DC Universe, and assumed some freelance editorial/art-direction duties during that process. In my career, I've drawn every major DC character at some point. Show less

I've also done work here and there for film and licensing projects, including MALLRATS, SPIDER-MAN 2, and others.

My 2003 comic with Warren Ellis, RED, adapted in 2010 as a hit feature film starring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, and Helen Mirren, and I've produced some licensing art for that, as well. A sequel followed in 2013, and I contributed key art for that film's opening titles sequence in collaboration with Method Studios. Show less

I'm one of the original members of this well-known comic book illustration house. It has long been considered by many to be an influential training ground for some of the more prominent comics creators of the 1990's and 2000's, perhaps most notably Brian Stelfreeze (Batman: Shadow of the Bat, Matador), Adam Hughes (Wonder Woman, Tomb Raider), Cully Hamner (Blue Beetle, Detective Comics/The Question, Red), Jason Pearson (Legion of Super-Heroes, Body Bags), Dave Johnson (Superman: Red Son, 100… Show more I'm one of the original members of this well-known comic book illustration house.

I apprenticed to former Disney designer and commercial illustrator Don Howard at his studio for two years, starting as an assistant, and eventually handled entire jobs largely on my own, with minimal art direction.
