Kelsey Shannon is an extremely talented artist and a heck of a nice guy. Kelsey has worked in animation design, comics, film, and can eat a whole package of cheese in under an hour! If the eatin' cheese thing doesn't impress ya, then maybe this will. Kelsey is co-creator (along with Mike Avon Oeming and Miles Gunter) of Bastard Samurai published by Image comics. Kelsey pencils and colors while Oeming co-writes (along with Gunter) and inks. The first issue is out now and recommended!

Thanks to Kelsey for the killer portrait and to BigBeatty for setting the ball in motion!
