A little something about the wonderful human beings that bring the stories to life.
Karl Hewitt
Karl Hewitt started drawing from as early as he can remember. Growing up on a diet of all things 80 Geek Culture he drew a lot of turtles and ghostbusters as a result. Primary school reports regularly predicted that he would end up going into illustration.
As the years went on a mix of Spider-Man and X-Men cartoons, Ren & Stimpy and Cow & Chicken formed the buildings blocks for his art style. After discovering Skottie Young (Marvel, Oz) back in 2004 he has never ever looked back and has followed his work ever since. Karl sites Scottie as his biggest inspiration on his illustration style, which he describes as gritty and loose with a sense of humour.
AS well as illustrating a number of comic books Karl is also a full-time mural artist.
