Combat Gallery Sunday: The Martial Art of Chris Schweizer
Much as once a week I like to take time off to cover warships (Wednesdays), on Sundays (when I feel like working), I like to cover military art and the painters, illustrators, sculptors, photographers and the like that produced them.
Combat Gallery Sunday: The Martial Art of Chris Schweizer
A graduate of the Atlanta campus of the Savannah College of Art and Design, Chris Schweizer picked up his first Eisner Award nomination while still a student there for his first book, Crogan’s Vengeance. Since then he has expanded the Crogan line (during and after a stint as faculty at SCAD) with the latest putting Crogan in the French Foreign Legion in 1912 which is pretty salty for a graphic novel for age 9-12.
Besides his Crogan work, he is listed as the author or illustrator of another 40~ books in circulation including the very popular Creeps series.
Of interest is his Tumblr blog and Instagram account here he posts prolifically on everything from commission work to Star Wars universe stuff…
There, you will also find his Warrior Women Wednesday drawings, where he profiles a different female soldier, commander, pirate or chieftain each week. They are really well done and he puts a lot of research into them.
Thank you for your work, sir.
