 I’m a self-taught artist, and have acquired my skills due to an unrelenting study of art techniques and styles. I have been a professional artist for over sixteen years and I still have a passion for learning and improving myself through creativity and self-discovery. My enthusiasm for books such as, The Burne Hogarth Anatomy series, Will Eisner’s Comics & Sequential art, and numerous “How to Draw” series, has allowed me to develop an eye for detail, and bring a high level of skill to my work. I have been successful in several different artistic mediums, including the Screen Printing Industry, the Comic Convention Circuit, and Online art galleries. My childhood goal has always been to be an artist, and as such, to remain consistent, reliable, and dependable.  Additionally, I have a passion for designing characters within the genres of Fantasy, Comics, Animation, and Science Fiction. I practically live at my art table, and do so happily. My other hobbies are Novels, NHL and NFL. I live for Hockey, and probably know too much trivia and history for someone who has never played. I am available for commissions and professional comic art assignments. Please check out my website: http://www.direwolfphx.comand then contact me directly direphx@yahoo.com Samples of my sequential work can be found on my website: http://www.direwolfphx.com/SequentialPages.html A list of my favorite artists include; but are not limited to, John Buscema, Frank Frazetta, George Perez, Joe Jusko, Jim Lee, Marc Silvestri, Joseph M. Linsner, Dale Keown, Ed Benes, Joe Quesada, John Byrne, and Tim Vigil. And some of my favorite writers are George Lucas, R. A. Salvatore, Neil Gaiman, Chris Claremont and Peter David. If you would like to be added as a friend, post a comment, or send me a private message. Dire Wolf

Hi Kay Thanks for the kind words. Buy default I would have to like dire wolves (canus dirus) since that's actually my name. I love wolves of all kinds, and think they're fascinating creatures. I took a look at your comic gallery and have to say that it looks great. I like the way you portrayed the dire wolves with distinction and personality, also the art is very clean and dynamic. Great job! Dire Wolf |

Thank you for checking it out. I wasn't sure if that many people would look at them, but so far I have received great feedback. I appreciate your comments and hope you do well with "Vampire Chronicles Unleashed" also.

Man, it is so good to run into you here. I used to run into you all the time in the NorCal convention circuit back in the early 90's (Wondercons and such) and still have a ton of your prints, several of which grace my cubicle at work this very day! I brought 'em all with me from CA to TN! Glad to see you still doing such great work! 1 Reply [ Latest posted on January 7th, 2007 6:51 AM ]

That is just too cool. I'm glad you still kept them, because they have long since been out of print. Nowadays I'm mostly selling Originals on Ebay, and in the near future I will be doing conventions with all new designs. Thanks and keep in touch, Dire |

Hi Rudy I grew up reading the stories that these guys had drawn. Savage Sword of Conan (John Buscema & Ernie Chan) was one of the first books I remember seeing that had made me want to pick up a pencil and draw, and over the years I had continued to find these fascinating artists that would inspire me to continue. Happy New Year Dire |

Thank you, and I'm glad you liked my work. I have worked so hard to develope a style that is pleasing to the eye. I think Eisner's work was so far ahead of his time, it still amazes me what can be learned from his works. Happy New Year Dire |

Hey man thanks for the Add. Your work is really good. I can see the Eisner influence in the dynamic compositions. I also see alot of Paul Gulacy influence. But then I just read alot of Master of Kung-Fu. 1 Reply [ Latest posted on January 4th, 2007 4:11 AM ]
