Moments in Stasis

1989, Art Club members and friends

I was a teenage Jim Lee clone! Well, not entirely. My old style was influenced by him, Simon Bisley, and Jae Lee, so it looked weird. This was in 1991. Good thing the pages can't be seen clearly, haha.

With comic book artist and former teacher Whilce Portacio. This was during his signing at Filbar's Galleria, December 1991. 

Eight years later, I became one of his trainees. It was a big deal because he tutored me on penciling techniques for free. I learned a lot from those weekly sessions.
