"The most awarded cover artist in the comic book biz has certainly transcended the trappings of sequential art to become a force majeur in the contemporary art world. His liquid colors and effortless-looking lines are nothing short of magical. He came to a life-painting workshop we hosted at BSFA back in 2009 and watching him work was a revelation. Looking at portfolios these days I see a lot of his influence on the new generation."
