John Watkins-Chow - Card SK-22

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." www.leeahdgoldberg.com
