Featured Greek Illustrator! Yannis “Rubus” Rubulias

I happen to be published in Greece by the fine people at Jemma Press, and a while back I attended Athens Comic-con or Comicdom Con as it is officially named. They had an artist alley and aspiring comic book artists just like any good comic-con.  The difference I noticed…was the difference between each of their styles.  Most of the artists were from the same generation, of the same area of the same country and yet it seemed no two styles were the same.

and many of them were really f*cking good.

I’ve kept tabs on many of them and kept tabs on Greek illustrators in general.  It took me awhile but I’ve finally gotten around to making a feature on this page of Greek illustrators, so you can see what I mean…and to just see some really nice work from over there.

This time we have
