Happy Birthday to one of the very best comic book illustrators working today, Geof Darrow! Yep!

Comic Book Artist/Illustrator Geof Darrow photographed in his Chicago Studio, by Greg Preston for the Artist Within Book 2

It's Friday October 21st, running late as usual, just wanted to take a minute to wish Comic Book Artist and Illustrator Geof Darrow a very Happy Birthday! I'm sure you know that Geof "was the 'Conceptual Designer' on all three Matrix movies", and is also known for his incredibly beautiful work on the graphic novels Hard Boiled, The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot, and Shaolin Cowboy.

This was the portrait we made of Geof in his old Chicago Studio, sitting at the drawing board that was formerly owned by Dave Stevens when they were studio mates in LA for my Artist Within:Book 2 project, An amazing studio to say the least, have a look around! He has since made the move to France, hoping at some point to make portrait of him there.

While Geof doesn't have a website, you can keep up with him on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/geofdarrow, make sure to check it out!

Greg Preston

"Sharon Sampsel & Greg Preston graduated from the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and had the good luck to pick Las Vegas as the up and coming place in which to open their studio. Riding the wave in as Las Vegas came into its own in the last 30 years has been a blast for these two partners. Although they concentrate mostly on Resort and Casino work, Being in a town like Las Vegas gives them the opportunity to shoot just about everything, which is fine with them."
