EPISODE 25 - AGP (Amanda Gilliam Presents)

On this episode of AGP, I am pleased to welcome my guest Jeff Balke. Jeff currently co-created his OWN ongoing comic book series called Urban Legends, which he is also the colorist on and is being published by his own comic book publishing company (4EP... or 4 Eyed Productions). By the end of 2015, he will have 2-3 ongoing comic book series out. In addition, Jeff freelance colors for comic book companies such as Zenescope, Image, After Hours Press, Antarctic Press, Storm King Productions and many others. In just a short 5 years, heâ??s colored just about 200 comics (which he will be celebrating this year), and still going. Heâ??s also an award winning colorist, winning the 2011 Shel Dorf Award for â??Colorist of the Yearâ?? and has been nominated a few times for an Eagle Award for â??Favorite Coloristâ??. Jeff created something called Sketch Coloringâ?¢. This is where you bring him anything b/w, and heâ??ll color it up by hand with markers right there on the spot. This is how he as a colorist, creates a sketch to make it a â??one of a kind, uniqueâ?? item for you. No two Sketch Coloringâ?¢ will ever be alike. You can give him anything from b/w sketch covers, b/w prints, clothing and pretty much anything markers will stick too and heâ??ll bring it to life just by adding markers to it. To check out more of Jeffâ??s work and his updated â??ARTageddonâ?? 2015 tour, go to his website at: jbalkesart.com, FaceBook fan page JbalkesCOLORS and twitter Jbalke08. So join us at 7pm EST to learn more about Jeff and his work in this industry.
