I'm Craig I like to draw and read comics.
I am currently going through the process of drawing all of the X-men (that I like) as if they inabbited my own version of the Marvel Universe. I am doing this because I am rather sad, currently have too much free time and have a bug up my ass about how poor Marvel Animation is currently, at least, compared to the DC universe.
As for me, I am just your typical nerdy guy with 0 social life who finds solace through teaching himself how to use photoshop. When I was younger I was a dab-hand the whole drawing malarkey but lost myself in my early twenties and am now trying to get back up to speed. I would implore any young people with an interest in illustration to not give up, like I did, and work towards a passion otherwise you will end up like me!
