My Bio

Jesse Wichmann is a tattoo artist, comic book illustrator and author hailing from upstate New York.

Classically trained in fine art illustration, Jesse applies his vivid imagination, fantastic storytelling and highly detailed artwork to the world of comic books.

“For me, creating unique characters & writing their stories to share with the world is in my blood. Making comics is pretty much all I’ve ever wanted to do since discovering the medium (Batman #465) as a little boy. Life has taken me down some bumpy roads, but all paths have always led me back to making comics.”

May I ask about the "Coil of Barbed Wire" ( Sorry I grew up on a cattle ranch in Oklahoma and It's what I see. Too much time as a young one fixing fences I guess.) Signature?

do you mean my dragon logo i use for my company logo and general art signature?

Sure, what's your question?

Yes the Dragon logo ... I just wondered what inspired it.

i did it as a logo project for graphic design class many(many) years ago - design yourself a logo for your new corporation - i always liked dragons, so i decided to formalize that into a simple wyrm style graphic and it just stuck. Also, I got a A for the project grade.

We meet again, sir! I see you're still as red-hot as ever when it comes to artistry; clearly, the three years since my last visit haven't been wasted. :)



Thank you for your advice back then - it's always a privilege to learn more, especially from talented folk like yourself. I think, if Mr. Frazetta were to see the calibre of artists he's inspired, he'd approve.



(By the way, kudos on your taste in video games - Final Fantasy VII was, and still is, a banger.)
