I’ve been a Comic Book inker for 18 years now. I’ve work with companies like Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Image Comics, Dark Horse, Top Cow etc – from X-Men, Spiderman, to Superman, Tomb Raider, Fathom and many more books. It is something that I absolutely love doing other than drawing cars stuff.

I recently found out that I was nominated for the 2010 INKWELL AWARDS for my comic book ink works published in 2009.

Here are a few of the pages I’ve inked for that period.

Dark Avengers/X-Men: Utopia



My inks over Marc Silvestri

Titans: Blackest Night

My inks over Ed Benes

Superman: Secret Origins


From Issue #1, inks over Gary Frank.

From Issue #3, inks over Gary Frank.

I’m nominated in the Q1 Favorite Inker Category –
“Favorite inker over the pencil work of another artist from ’09 cover-dated interior comic book material”.
