When I try to describe what Jim Lee's art means to me, it's best to begin with how he started in comics. Mr. Lee left a chemistry degree, and a budding career in medical school to pursue something he loved, art. Most definitely a brilliant man, Mr. Lee's early work doesn't compare with his current masterpieces. No doubt, he has a very strong work ethic that I admire, because no matter how good his art looks, and no matter how high a profile his projects are, he still continues to try and improve his skills as an artist. It is his work that brought me back into reading comics again after a long absence from the form, and his work that drives me to try and improve my drawing skills to this day. It just reminds you that no matter how good you are, you can always make yourself better, and his success is a testament to that statement. Check out this website for more images.
