Brian Stelfreeze

Brian was a fixture at all the Atlanta comic cons, which is where I first saw him.  He caught my eye with his stylish work on the independent book, Cycops.  That work got him many favorable reviews comparing his work to Walt Simonson's.  I guess a lot of that hinged on the angularity in his figures because if you look at his work, he has a style all of his own.  If you examine his most recent work, he has a unique eye for spotting blacks.  He has been highly influential on his studiomates at Atlanta's Gaijin Studios.

• Storm color illustration:  I got this from Brian before he started doing a lot of work for DC and Marvel Comics.  I asked for a drawing of Storm because he had some color copies of a terrific airbrush painting of her that really knocked me out.  Needless to say, I was very happy with the result.  I even asked his studiomate, Karl Story, to add some color to the piece which turned out great.  (Inks: Brian Stelfreeze; Watercolors: Karl Story)
