Artist Guest of Honor: Shawn Howe
Shawn Howe is a self taught, internationally
published artist, who specializes in pop culture
art. He has brought his "stylized realism " style
to several covers of many independent published
comics. Portraits and likenesses are the backbone
of his portfolioand he has a strong pull towards
Fantasy and Sci Fi art.
He started out, heavily influenced by the major
artists of the 80s and 90s, such as McFarlane
and Silvestri. However, after a decade plus of
not drawing anything, he found his current
style. His style borrows from the dynamic
storytelling of Marc Silvestri and Sam Keith
while adding the taste of realism, influenced
by Frazetta, Mitch Foust and Alex Ross.
Shawn is definitely a Memphis made talent,
having grown up in the area and attending
University of Memphis. He currently resides,
here, in the MidSouth. All while creating covers
for publications, as far away as the Netherlands.
Currently, he is a featured cover artist for 3
Heads Productions' shared conic universe.
