Before entering the world of animation I was a comic book artist and inker. What follows are samples of my work.

Conan the Destroyer
This is a cover I did for the Conan the Destroyer movie adaptation. Whenever there was a movie adaptation I got work on them because I could do a likeness. Arnie was fun to draw.
imagine a guy telling you back in 1984: "see, that the way governor will look like in the years 2000" I'm sure you would have believed him. cool drawing:)
Just like Preston Blair and conservative classic cartoons are kinda the foundation for solid cartoony drawing, do you think there is a foundational inking artist?
I feel like I'm just outlining things right now with my ink, rather than implying texture and the fun stuff like that. Is there a core inking artist that I should study before I just start picking apart misc. inking tricks?
Study everybody. I really embraced the best inkers of Conan (In my opinion) at that time. John himself, his brother Sal, Frank Giacioa, Wally Wood had a big influence on me.
Thanks Rudy,
My Trribecca days are done unless I come into a bigg pile o' cash.
