Caleb King is a writer and illustrator from the Chicago area. At Wizard World, his works caught my eye for their simplicity, yet beauty.
He has created a bunch of sketch cards for Topps, including Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, The Walking Dead: Evolution, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and others. He's also done a lot of awesome illustrations, including a series for the Harry Potter Universe. I am not even a fan of Harry Potter, but I really liked his creations. I also loved his version of Pennywise.
In addition to his fantastic artwork, he has written two comics (which were illustrated by Nicolas R. Giacondino). Verse/Chorus focuses on the rock and roll scene of the late '80's/early '90's.
Surreality is a weekly web comic following Sydney, a mid-20's slacker who escapes her boredom by creating her own worlds. Blurring the line between reality and fantasy, Surreality is both thought-provoking and entertaining.
I know an artist is special when I am not interested in a lot of his subjects, yet the pieces themselves fascinate me. (Of course, if he did an Aquaman, it would both interest and fascinate me.)
