Tom Buss, Portland, OR Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement I'm an experienced commercial artist and airbrush painter.I research most subject matter I draw and paint. If I already know the subject matter, then I usually draw it straight from memory. I also write stories for comic strip work.. A comic character ( Saturn Sam) that appears in my gallery here at Imagekind was published in a comic book format called Coffee World many years ago.I still draw Sam quite often and I am thinking of returning him to being published again.
