[Community Spotlight] - Steve Myers - [Skooba]

My name is Steve Myers but let’s be real, how basic, right?? So my friends call me Scuba.

Being a 90s kid, you have to misspell everything and make it cooler.  So if you see me around the internet or at conventions, most likely you’ll see my art signed ‘Skooba’.
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!!
(Told ya, 90s kid…) Let’s get down to brass tax.
I was asked if I’d do an interview with this lovely site and of course I couldn’t pass up.

So beyond being a rambling nerd, what else is there about me?? Well..um… oh wow…good question…existential moment here…. *cough*

I grew up in Missouri and was drawing from a young age.
Pulling my first all nighters at grandma’s house in order to finish my comics before the next morning so I could present them with pride at breakfast.
That passion waned a bit as I discovered my first anime (Dragonball Z, duh!) at a young age and fell in love with animation more so than comics…until (dramatic music) BATTLE CHASERS! Yes!
That book was my golden ticket, my muse, for years to come, to show me what could be done in comics and what I wish to achieve some day as well!
So with a fury, I was quickly back into the game.

However, it was many years of struggle and burger flipping before I even landed my first comic job. A few years ago I was approached by Deon Brown to be the lead penciller on his comic story, Battle for Ozellberg (www.ozellberg.com) and it was a huge honor. 
I worked with an amazing team, Jeff Morrow, Chris Chandler, Deon himself, and Licca Kirk to pump out the 3 issue mini series retelling of Little Red Riding Hood…but with a twist!
(c’mon, I can’t give it all away to you here, head on over to indyplanet.com and see for yourself!)

From there I bounced around with a few freelances jobs, nothing really set in stone until finally landing with a company called Inbeon Studios. (www.inbeon.com) Currently I’m pencilling and inking on an epic fantasy story called ‘Zaidura Chronicles’ created by CJ Martin. It’s been a blast so far, and really hoping you’ll all join us on the journey!!

I could tell you about my story all day, but let’s be real..you’re all here for the art, right?!
Yeeeeeah, I know what you’re all about you saucy little thang, you!!! So without further ado, please, follow me at the links below if you like what you see. I love all the support and love hearing from you and seeing you all at conventions especially where I can take your hard earned money— I mean uh…. where I can shake your hands and appreciate your company!! (Yeah….that’s it….)

But really, follow me at the links below and let’s get to know each other!
I’ve got a long ways to go still and would love you all to be on that journey with me!
