Ashley Wood

Never heard about Ashley Wood? Allow us the pleasure of a small introduction: illustrator, painter,concept artist, comics writer, he worked as a freelance artist as well as for numerous prestigious clients like Marvel, DC Comics, Image Comics.. etc. But don’t think that drawing is ‘all’ he can do! He also worked on well-known video games such as Metal Gear Solid by Konami, on movies (and tv shows), clothing lines and even better, a lot of great toys!

Let’s end this list by saying that two of his stories are currently being adapted for the screen. I am talking about Popbot and World War Robot (bought by Disney and directed by Jerry Bruckheimer, no less!).

With such a background, Ashley Wood won a lot of awards: Spectrum Gold Award (twice), Award of excellence for illustration, Eisner Award, Eagle Award (trice), Designer Toy Award – Artist of the year 2011, etc…
