Some Info about myself:
Ever since I was a kid I loved comic books, not for their storys, or characters, but rather for the amazing artwork I saw in them and thought to myself how great it would be to be that artist and have the admiration of perfect strangers worldwide.

After college , with a knowledge of fine arts I had a new favorite medium, tattooing, and for 10 years I have made it my career.

I still have my love of comic books and have a story called Dwight Danger Zombie Hunter in Ash Tray Comics.

I am available for Freelance Design. Please feel free to contact me via Email.

What is Evil Robo Presents The Golden Age?
It's our take on the 1940's Comics. These characters have a long history, and have fallen into the public domain. If a character falls into the public domain, you as a creator can create stories with said characters. So, we all here at Evil Robo wanted to give this a shot.
