Jack Teagle is an illustrator from England, and as you can tell from his work, he is quite the geek. That's a good thing.
"He enjoys collecting Star Wars, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spiderman, Ultraman, Ghostbusters, and Toxic Crusaders Figures. He also likes reading comics and watching classic horror films", you can read on the about page on his website.
When I look at his work it takes me back to a period in childhood a lot of us who liked doodling went through, trying to draw the characters from our favourite comic books and cartoons. Of course they probably never looked as cool as these.
I always admire artists whose work looks very spontaneous and natural, and Jack Teagle is no exception to that. You look at his illustrations and comics and you just can tell he has a lot of fun working.
My favourites are probably the scans of his sketchbooks, with covers he decorates himself. Two of them themed, "Football" and "Animal Heads". I would love to do something like that sometime.
