Links abound

I realized the other day that I've been adding a lot new links to the sidebar without mentioning them. So here, as quickly as I can, are the new links to some really great artists and a quick blurb about them.

Dan McDaid- Dan is currently working on Image's Jersey Gods, and he's totally owning it. He's also an all around class act, and throws down some of the craziest inks I've seen in a while.
Dan Panosian- Most of you probably don't need me to tell you who Dan is, in which case you should just check out his work. Again, I can't get enough of the guy's inks.
Evan Bryce- Being just about the only other Evan I know, I'm almost certain Evan and I are just alternate versions of each other. The guy is amazing though, some of the boldest colors I've seen, and the stuff he does with paints is mind-blowing.
Jeff Wamester- I just "met" Jeff recently, but I've already grown to really liking his work. He does some really nice stuff with perspective and draws an awesome Thor.
Joel Carroll- Joel's draws some really awesome robots, and as far as I'm concerned, is the master of the modern sketchcard.
Kevin Nowlan- Again, you guys don't need me to tell you how unbelievable Nowlan is, but he just recently picked up a blog, and the behind-the-scenes stuff he's been posting is definitely worth checking out.
Matt Kaufenberg- Matt is a great guy, and a pretty smart colorist to boot. I've worked with him once now and I'm looking forward to the chance again.
Otis Frampton- Otis is just one of those all around creative guys that inspires the crap out of ya. He's been streaming a lot of his process live on the 'net lately, which takes a lot more guts than I have.
Paolo Rivera- An amazing painter, and wicked smart to boot. His stuff at Marvel is not to be missed.
Ron Salas- Super nice guy and knows how to use the black vs. white balance on paper better than most guys I know. He's got a series coming up from Image called Existence 2.0, but he won me over with this piece featuring Jay Garrick.
Scott Godlewski- If Evan Bryce is my alternate self, then with our common affinity for all things pulp, I'm almost certain Scott and I were separated at birth or something. He's one of the tighter inkers I know, and the Thing he drew for me is one of my favorites. Scott's one of the founders of the Mysterious Adventure Magazine, the second issue of which I'm drawing a story for.

Go give all these great folks a look, I guarantee it's worth it.
