This is another one of my 'Spotlight' blogs ... Where I take a comics creator, whether writer, penciller, inker, colorist, editor, etc., and invite them to write a little bit about themselves here. Almost like having a 'Guest Blogger' for the day! "Hello, I'm Michael L. Peters, but feel free to call me "Mike".I've written and drawn stories for Heavy Metal magazine (lettered them too, and painted one of them) and had stories in Negative Burn -- from Desperado. I've drawn stories published by Caliber and Image. I've done illustration work in areas adjacent to comics, such as covers and portfolios for REH: Two Gun Raconteur, a magazine/journal about pulp writer Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan and others... many of his characters have found fame in comics adaptations. I've had opportunity there to draw Conan, Red Sonya (not to be confused with Red Sonja...), Turlogh O'Brien and Bran Mak Morn. I also draw and paint original fantasy and mythological art prints, which, at a physical convention, I'd be selling at my table...  Currently, I mostly draw private commissions, to pay the bills, while working on a comic book project, CRESCENT CITY MAGICK.I'm also creating a four piece portfolio, illustrating the Robert E. Howard story, "Kings of the Night", featuring the characters Bran MakMorn and Kull, for the magazine "REH: Two-Gun Raconteur". The issue containing this portfolio should be available this summer. To view more of Michael's work you should check out the following site: http://www.mlpeters.com/ I enjoyed viewing his creations that are categorized into fantasy and mythological prints (where the Conan / Red Sonja artwork at the top of this blog post that I chose to use is from), published comics works, short comics stories, Crescent City Magick preview, commissioned drawings, convention sketches, and more!
