King is the author/artist behind Where Gods And Mortals Dance. He is a Rock N' Roll hero with postmodernist leanings and a fondness of references, especially to music. He currently resides near Savannah, GA, where he works much longer than he'd like and smokes much more than he ought. He's well known for his wild hair (which has had him compared to the likes of Marc Bolan and Ian Anderson) and his penchant to walk evereywhere he goes.
Rock N' Roll
Rock N' Roll is more than a musical style. It is an ideal, a set of morals, even anti-morals, if you will. Rock N' Roll is the recipe to all that is awesome, and ain't nobody cooks the dish like King Rockwell cooks it, and he's been a-stormin' in the kitchen tonight. So pull up a chair and choose a spot at the table, sweet thing, dinner is served.
Style And Influences
In addition to his more heavily iconic though straightforward art style seen in Where Gods And Mortals Dance, King also exercises a more whimsical MSPaint-based style for doodles and fun. He cites as influences to not only his style but his appoach to comic art Frank Miller, Will Eisner, John Allison, Art Spiegelman, Norman Rockwell and Frank Frazetta.
