Growing up with action figures like Turtles, Wrestling, He-Man and Starwars, I came across Suckadelic Inc and was intrigued by the concept. Totally DIY, The Sucklord makes his own parodies and weird mutant hybrid toys along with the packaging. This super villain is really carving his own path.

I got the chance to meet Steve Seeley during an exhibition of his work, titled All We Ever Do Is Fight, at the Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago a few months back. Not only is he one of the nicest guys I’ve met, but the precision of the line-work and the perfectionist execution of his work is inspiring.

I released a Christmas album last year, and someone on our Facebook kept making amazing fan art to go with it. We tracked him down: his name was Paul Shinn and he was an illustrator/comic book artist. We asked him to make us a bunch of silly strips to give away in our advent calendar. I really loved his style of drawing. It reminded me of innocent Sunday newspaper comics, like Calvin and Hobbes or Garfield.

Gabe Fowler is the owner of this shop and I hope it never ever closes. It’s a comics, zine or straight-up hand made products store in Brooklyn and I’m so happy to be able to go there on occasion and get my fix.

I few years back, I found the most amazing painting of this Mexican comedy superhero character called Chapulin Colorado (red grasshopper) by Rhode Montijo.

The fact that Dutch-born artist Tobias Tak once had to choose between a career as a graphic novelist or one as a tap dancer seems to make perfect sense, based on his surreal style that evokes turn-of-the-century story books and films of the ’30s and ’40s. I haven’t seen his tapping skills, but judging by his comics, I’m glad he chose the former path.

Luckily Brighton based Illustrator Matt Taylor has just contributed to Graniph, throwing his work back into the spotlight. Along with National Geographic Taylor is influenced by comic books.

Chris Ware is my favorite comic book artist. If there’s a new Chris Ware book out, I buy it, no questions asked. He writes the most somber, sad stories about the simplest of people, but they’re written and illustrated with such beauty and elegance. All of the text and graphic design is done by hand. It’s absolutely mind blowing.
