Profesone

Appearing Sat,Sun

Profesone is a comic creator, web developer, and father of three. He's created independent comics like Sword Theory and Frontier Graveyard, and his work has been published in Heavy Metal Magazine, Image, and Dark Horse comics. Oh and to answer the question or what is a Profesone, it's my graffiti name when I was in middle school and it's pronounced as "Pro Fes One".

When he was young, he remembers seeing a commercial for “Star Wars: A New Hope” on television. His family often didn't have money to go to the movies, so he would stay up late at night and watch cheesy shows just to catch that Star Wars commercial again. That’s what inspired him to pick up a pencil and start drawing.

He taught himself how to draw by practicing every day, challenging himself to continually improve. Star Wars was what first fueled the fire, but when he discovered comics, he tapped into an endless source of inspiration. At some point, it became not just an inspiration, but his ambition. This is what he was meant to do.
