Announcing More Artists!

Update #2 · Apr 10, 2012 · 1 comment

Just as the number of backers and amount raised grows, so too does our roster of artists.

Ursula Vernon

Congratulations to Ursula Vernon for her recent Hugo award nomination in the Best Graphic Story category for her book Digger (Sofawolf Press).

We're especially proud to announce that Ursula has joined the Prismatic Art Collection's growing roster of artists.

She's obviously really busy right now, so we're still figuring out if we're going to commission new art or license something from her existing gallery. Either way, we're happy to have Ursula on board with us.

Congratulations and welcome to Ursula Vernon!

Jody Lindke

When her kindergarten bookmark design beat out first and second graders--earning her a hardbound Complete Winnie The Pooh--Jody was hooked on drawing. She began freelancing in junior high school and supported herself while attending University of Nevada with single and multi panel comics and illustrations for various local publications. Jody became the first female artist ever to receive the Charles M. Shultz Award from Scripps Howard--presented to her giddy delight by Snoopy himself. After her first novel earned her a Masters degree, Jody left teaching at the university to enter the production program at USC’s School of Cinema where she became particularly adept at the technical and creative aspects of sound design. Writing and drawing remained her true calling, and she left sound to pursue her goal of professionally wedding word and (sometimes moving) image.

Jody has worked on all sides of feature films and television, even pulling an agency stint to better grasp the business side of “the business.” Jody lives with her husband Christian and their twin daughters, who enjoy bedtime readings from the Pooh book mommy won when she was just about their age.

Meng Tian Zhang

Meng is a Toronto based illustrator and painter, who graduated from Sheridan Tech's Illustration program. Her combined love for classical painting, concept art and illustration inspires her to blend fine arts skills with digital art. She's immensely interested in the development of characters, creatures, and the world they live in. You can find more of her work at: http://mengtzhang.com/

Karen Luk

Karen Luk is drawer of words, writer of images and erstwhile sword fighter. She was professionally published at 17 by Marion Zimmer Bradley for the anthology Sword and Sorceress, but decided to make art instead while in college. She is a graduate of the California College of Art. Since 2003, she has self-published comics that combine her writing and picture making skills to tell stories. Two of her comics Sea Rover & Other Tales and Tales of Encounter are retold folk tales with a twist and original short stories. She also has written and drawn manga lessons for Manga Start, a group dedicated to emphasizing art fundamentals in using a manga style. Currently, she is working on a retelling of The Highwayman that takes place during the time of 18th century sea pirates, a steampunk ABC book and new webcomic debuting in 2012.

These high-resolution, vector avatars will be included in the Prismatic Art Collection. Perfect for examples of play, call-outs and sidebars!
