28. The Heart of a Character Designer with Marcus Williams

Marcus Williams is many things. A creator. An illustrator. A role model. But if you ask him, the first thing he'll tell you is he's a Character Designer. Being able to mix and match the things we love to make something new has always served him well. And his latest project, Eye Lie Popeye, is an example of just that.
Today, I speak with Marcus The Visual about his love for characters, the key to a good design, the story of Tuskegee Heirs, and just how Eye Lie Popeye came to be. Check it out, then head to your local shop to pre-order Eye Lie Popeye #1, out August 14th from Massive Publishing.
