Nice!

Doesn't look to me like he's overly influenced by Anime/Manga either.  There's so many of those, it's nice to see.

Never heard of him either. Thanks for the heads up!

Very solid artist but haven't been interested in the books he's drawn for present day DC or Marvel.

He’s been around for quite a while. I’ve been an admirer of his for years.

As it happens, you drew a variant cover for X-MEN#100 back in 2000, and he was the interior artist (in fact you drew a character that he designed!)

(And this fact makes my head nearly explode - he's now been in the industry longer than you were at that point in 2000!)

Noticed him first when he did BIRTHRIGHT, Mark Waid's failed attempt to reboot Superman (again). Didn't like the story, but the art looked great.

He’s a solid artist when given time to do his stuff - I really like his art.
It tends to suffer the longer he stays on a title and then gets refreshed
when he moves to a new one.
There was a time I would buy issues just because he drew them.
