John Watkins-Chow - Card SK-22
105 Cards - Click to View
John Watkins-Chow has worked
in animation, comics, and video games and is a relative newcomer
to the sketch card world; he has been fortunate to participate
in sets that have let him draw characters and scenes from Lord
of the Rings, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Marvel Comics, and now,
THE SPIRIT. His recent artwork, both sketch card and not, can be
seen at www.watkinschow.com.
When he is not sketching, John teaches math and indulges his
wife and two daughters. Alas, John is humbled by the assemblage
of artists on this set and is a bit intimidated by their
skills—so what he lacks in talent, he tries to make up for in
the ellipsis-ending sentence department… |

A comic fan since he was a
kid, Leeahd knew that he would also be a comic book artist. In
order to pursue his career, he moved half way across the globe
to Los Angeles. A child of the computer revolution, Leeahd
applied his classic training to the digital medium. He loves
Photoshop but nothing replaces pen, inks, and paper. Leeahd has
had a few comics published but he's been active mostly in the
film business. He's worked with screenwriters and production
companies to develop conceptual art for film projects. Leeahd is
branching out even more, looking to do commissions as well as
more cards and comics. "When I have a project I love it stops
being a job."
