Ronald Wimberly a.k.a. D-Pi is a self-described "graphic novelist, a graphic artist, a graphic mixologist... a comic book artist." His art combines the inclinations of established artists such as Paul Pope, John Paul Leon, and Damion Scott, but with a flair all of his own.

What really got my attention, though, was his redesign of the DC Comics superhero Static Shock. A rare example of a black superhero, Static Shock was a creation of the recently deceased black comic author Dwayne McDuffie, who was always a proponent for a more diverse array of characters. Instead of drawing Static with cape and tights, Wimberly nailed the essence of the character: just some street punk in a hoodie on a skateboard.

Wimberly's bibliography includes stints on Swamp Thing, Deadman, and Lucifer, as well as the graphic novel Sentences: The Life of M.F. Grimm. Most recently, Wimberly adapted and illustrated Ray Bradbury's classic Something Wicked This Way Comes. We are very excited to see future work from the artist.
