Michael Turner, Gone at 37!

Had you guys heard this? Title is a link to the article. Young man of 37. I remember when he visited our studio in San Diego to show his portfolio to Mike Christian, Ben Herrara, Scott Benefiel, Mike Miller. Because they were all going guns blazing on Malibu comics.


Straight from that meeting in a couple of months he was working for Image (Top Cow) and soon after that it was Witchblade...then Fathom.

What a shocker. When we saw him he was an iron chested body building martial artist. I guess about 1995. Yeesh . Barely 13 years of getting to use those skills.

Tennapel Podcast

Thanks Todd for the Scar Ref. Coworker Todd knows I'm drawing cats till I get it right.

Scar has nothing to do with the Tennapel link above other than I seem to remember Lion King is one of his favorite movies. And as such might inspire much of one of his own graphic novels. Doug is pretty informative about his process and how often times he's thinking in a very derivative way. Some of you with graphic novel ambitions might be inspired by his talk. I'm going over to his place in a bt to see his TWO! new graphic novels. One is Black Cherry (rated R). The other is called FLINK. I'll give the Blog a review before Moriaty does....maybe. Things come out of the chute fast on AintItCool.

I've reviewed the Books Black Cherry and Flink in the first comments.
