Meet Shawn

Inkpulp was created by comic book artist/ art professor Shawn Crystal as a place to celebrate the craft of comic book art, a space to share the experiences of navigating this comic book business, and a home to pass knowledge forward to those interested in bettering their art and comic book making. On this site you will find a blog, links to all things INKPULP, and message boards to engage in discussions about craft, inkpulp instruction, the inkpulp podcast and many more topics.
