One of the best comics artists in the UK, whose brilliant art has graced many a DC Comic, 2000AD and whose own titles include One Bad Rat and the eagerly-anticipated Alice in Sunderland, due to be published by Jonathan Cape in the UK in 2007.
His best known work, The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, developed over several years, has been optioned as a movie by Benderspink (see related news story)
First created in 1978, and described by fellow comics creator Garth Ennis as "one of the all-time great epics of the medium", Arkwright story took Talbot more than 12 years to complete, first serialised in various comics and magazines in England before being wrapped up in a series of comics published by Valkyrie Press. A sequel, Heart of Empire, was published in 1999 by Dark Horse.

Audio drama company Big Finish have also adapted the story, starring Doctor Who's David Tennant as Luther Arkwright.

She moved to the Bay Area seven years ago to escape her mom's "lifetime mothering policy" as well as to pursue a larger audience for her drawings of cute creatures doing bad things. After several years of burning out from her many crappy jobs performing various robot-tasks, she finally found her Double Happiness: lovely husby and sweet kitties.

Available for commission work, Bill's an experienced 3D artist (Bryce). "While Bryce may have a rendering engine slower than most, I've always consider the beauty of the end results, worth the wait," he argues. He enjoys using his 3D graphic tools to create images of an astronomical, science fiction, and / or fantasy nature. Check out his gallery page for samples of his work.
