Rick Mays is an astonishingly clean artist. Clean in the sense that his lines are always solid and his characters are very fleshed out and three-dimensional. The thing I appreciate about his work, is the way in which he portrays younger people: they don't look like miniature versions of adults, and they always seem packed with energy. With a similar style to that of many modern comic book artists who've been raised on Saturday Morning action cartoons and anime, Mr. Mays happens to maintain a decidedly western flair for realistic proportions and detail. His body of work is quite diverse, having started in somewhat "friskier" pastures, Mr. Mays worked for a time on Kabuki and even with the boys over at Image Comics pencilling one of their longest-running titles, Gen-13. Having gained a somewhat higher profile, Mr. Mays may pop up someplace significant quite soon. Keep your eyes peeled.
