Steve Yeowell
Steve Yeowell () is a British comics artist, well known for his work on the long-running science fiction and fantasy weekly comic '' 2000 AD''. Biography Having trained in 3D design (specialising in silversmithing and jewellery), Yeowell began drawing comics purely for pleasure, with no particular intention to become a professional artist. Having shown his portfolio to artist Bryan Talbot, he quickly found himself given work by Swiftsure (on the ''Lieutenant Fl'ff'' strip). After this, he worked on a "dummy comic" David Lloyd was creating for Fleetway called ''Fantastic Adventure''. This was his first meeting with writer Grant Morrison, who was writing the ''California Crew'' strip ("loosely based on the A-Team") Yeowell was drawing. While ''Fantastic Adventure'' wasn't picked up, John Higgins asked Yeowell to help him with a music magazine's comic strip off the back of it and, afterwards, helped him get work at Marvel UK. He started on ''Spider-Man and Zoids'' before doing ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
