Jon Sommariva, a seasoned comic book artist with a career spanning over two decades, showcases his dynamic artworks that are heavily influenced by nostalgia and classic animation. Known for his vibrant chibi characters, Sommariva channels his childhood experiences, as seen in his Ninja Turtles artwork inspired by arcade games. He also explores the vintage rubber hose animation style in a Popeye cover and fondly recalls his favorite version of Harley Quinn from a personal commission. Additionally, his character Gracie from 'Neverlanders' reflects his collaborative spirit and personal touches in creation.
"I had tons of fun drawing this version of the Turtles. My goal was to capture the feeling I got playing the old arcade game."
"I love the old rubber hose animation style of the 30s, and felt this would be a good chance to explore that in my own style."
"I have drawn many versions of Harley, but the original suit is always my favourite. I was asked to draw her in my chibi style for this particular commission."
"Gracie is from the graphic novel Neverlanders I co-created with Tom Taylor. This was a birthday present, hence the balloons!"
