He’s generally cool with everyone and willing to help anyone in need. He can be stubborn every once in a while but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. His favorite artists are Moebius, Takashi Murakami, Dan LuVisi, Sanford Greene and Eiichiro Oda. He’s also started developing an obsession with Deadpool.

Club collaborator extraordinaire. 19 years old and from Fort Myers, Florida. Has a great affinity for drawing concept art, storyboards, and comics. Is overtly friendly. She is inspired by artists such as LeSean Thomas, Paul Pope, Shotaro Ishinomori and Tatsuyuki Tanaka.
Tom Lyle, Faculty Advisor
College Professor and Comic Book Illustrator
Comic book artist of the superhero kind … and a professor at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Working on a graphic novel project about family and relationships with brothers. Who knows? I think it will make a great book and a great film. We’ll see.
