How did you get into drawing sketch cards?
I got into drawing sketch cards after meeting Jon Hughes at a comics and toy show in Houston and he introduced me to them.
What is your favorite subject to draw?
I really dig superheros obviously lol , and I am dipping into the vintage type style pinups as well.
What is your favorite character to draw?
I really enjoy drawing the HUlk because he represents a huge challenge to me visually and a good drawing of him is a huge pay off lol
Do you prefer black & white sketches or color sketches?
It al depends on what I am trying to convey in the piece… but I do enjoy color, it pops the picture!
What kind of materials do you prefer to work with?
I love me some lead holders with a harder lead, pentel brush tip and pentel stylo for inking and mixed prismas and copics or the colors.
Who is your favorite sketch card artist?
HMMM wow what a huge and hard to answer question lol…. everyone brings something unique and awesome to the table… but if I had to pick just one, itd be Jim Kyle, followed closely by Gary Kezele, Charles Hall, Lak Lim,Joshua Flower, Melike Acar and the list just goes on and on
What are you currently working on?
I am currently working the upcoming Avengers set(s) and a few projects from Capstone Comics as well as mine and Patrick Yarbroughs own web comic S.S.D.D.
Has your career as an artist benefited from doing sketch card work?
I believe it has benefitted me greatly and defeinitely expoed to an audience I might not have been able to reach if not for an appreciation for what sketch cards are, which is a moment in comic time and a great way for collectors to score original art!
Do you collect trading cards for yourself?
I do, I buy the Rittenhouse sets and I have a Joker collection I have been building in trades and purchases from other sketch card artists.

How did you get into drawing sketch cards?
The first time I heard about sketch cards it was in the Otis Frampton blog. He had lots of videos with the process of his cards and I thought: “Hey, I can do this!”. But I had no idea of how to start. So I began to investigate about that business, and that took me to the Scoundrel forum where I read tons of threads to learn about the artists, companies, how to submit my work, and all that. Then I started a thread to show my work. The same I submitted to the companies. Months passed waiting for my first project and nobody called me. Finally, when I was about to give up, I read a comment by Mark Slater in his Facebook page about the Cult-Stuff company. I had nothing to loose so I submitted them a few samples. And the same day I recieve the offer to work in the sets they were preparing.
What is your favorite subject to draw?
I like characters of epic fantasy as Conan or Red Sonja and Nordic mythology.
What is your favorite character to draw?
Thor.
Do you prefer black & white sketches or color sketches?
To draw I prefer color. To buy I don’t mind if the sketch is in b/w or color.
What kind of materials do you prefer to work with?
I work mainly with markers mixed with color pencils to get the colors I don’t have in markers. Also I use white ink for bright effects. I can work with acrylics and watercolors too, but aren’t materials I use the most.
Who is your favorite sketch card artist?
I’ve got lots of them: Otis Frampton, Mark Slater, Katie Cook, Hanie Mohd, Melike Akar… but the one I like the most is Jason Keith Phillips (Mayonnaise & Bread). His work is awesome. He’s a very talented artist. Love his style.
What are you currently working on?
I am doing The Avengers and Doctor Who for Strictly Ink. And I will do two sets for their new company Unstoppable Cards.
Has your career as an artist benefited from doing sketch card work?
Absolutely, because before sketch cards I never had anything published. And since I never received any art education, the contact with other artists makes me to improve my skills learning from them.
Do you collect trading cards for yourself?
I’ve got a little collection of sketch cards, and I hope that it grows in the future.
Do you have a website / blog / online presence where readers can find more information about you?
They can go to my Deviantart page: http://reznorix.deviantart.com/ and can buy sketches and commissions in my online store: http://reznorix.ecrater.com/
