I would buy a book of this type of art in B&W. Not something that I tend to do, being a child of 4 color art from waaaay back...

That boy can draw.
Funny story. The first time I met him was at Mid-Ohio Con this past year. Having seen his work on Capote in Kansas and Queen and Country, I walked up to him and said, "I just wanted to let you know that I'm a fan of your work." He looked up at me and said, "I just want to let you know that I am a fan of Beauty and the Geek." I was totally taken aback and had no idea what to say. Random recognition happens all the time but I had never experienced this before.
We talked for some time. The girl with him at his table (assuming it's his girlfriend) also loved the show and talked to me about how she cried when I was eliminated. I guess CGS and Norton turned him onto it.

That was most likely his wife, Laura.

Honestly I haven't, although from hearing about his past works, I'm much more likely to pick up the "Queen and Country" issues he worked on.

The Q&C work is godd but Samnee's artwork on Capote in Kansas is flat out stunning. I was actually a bit disappointed in the Q&C arc because he really established himself as excellent artist in Capote and the work in Q&C isn't quite as strong to me.

I got a quick head sketch of Tara from him at the KC comicon. It is flawless and he did it in about 90 seconds. He is also one of the nicest people i have ever met.

Without a doubt. When I met him, we all chatted about crappy jobs and cold weather and Missouri. He and Laura are awesome.
