Brain Freeze – Preliminary

Tim Hilderbrandt (1939 – 2006) worked with his brother Greg on some of the most impressive artwork covering Star Wars to Lord of the Rings to comics to Magic the Gathering artwork.

Idiot’s Guide to Creating a Graphic Novel

This was description I provided. Background : NY City Characters : Spiderman & Mary Jane Description : Action shot of Spiderman […]
