Indie artist on the rise: Charles Holbert, jr

aka, Kid Notorious.

I’ve been a fan of this guy for a few years now, and I see his resume keeps growing and growing. He has done covers and sequentials for the independent comic, The Uniques, as well as doing a lot of work 5Finity sketch cards for Dead@17, The Pro and the “Pulp Girl”s line. He’s been experimenting more and more with markers and as the Batman Beyond above shows, he’s getting damn good.

I love his layouts and compositions. It’s not over-crowed and never boring. You can see the image above, “Shadows of Gotham” bigger here, just to get the scope of color detail.

Just comes to show you there is some SERIOUS talent out there, just ready to break out.

    I’ve know Charles for a long time. We first met at the Comic Oasis in Las Vegas. I’ve always loved his work so I’m beyond happy to see him getting some wide exposure.

    I remember seeing this guys work in another Indie comic, Sentinels, and it was amazing. I believe that was his first published work. He is a very talented artist.

    I was lucky enough to work with Charles for a short while. He gave me a Wonder Woman drawing for Christmas that has a cherished place on a wall of other commissions. He’s truly talented and I’m glad to see other people are realizing that.
