I had a chance to meet with Ronald Wimberly at an off the wall film shoot, but I was looking at some of his work on his phone and saw an URB magazine cover with Jay-Z on it that I remembered and realized the breadth of his work. He combines Roy Lichtenstein-ish printer dots (comic book style) with Japanese style animation and Hip Hop sensibilities to make dynamic and visually interesting work.
His most recent project, when not lending a hand to Black Dynamite series on Adult Swim, is Prince of Cats, a combo of William Shakespeare, 80's city life and and black culture in a mash-up of different ages and styles. Read an extensive interview at Comics Alliance here and get your learn on. Dream projects can become a reality.
