My name is Hyunsung Lee, but most people call me Creees. I recently graduated from SVA, School of
Visual Arts in New York City, and I learned the ancient ways in becoming a
comic artist. People often ask me how long I've been drawing and my answer is, "basically
my whole life." I still have a drawing from when I was 3 or 4 years old
hung up on my wall. My childhood was all about drawing Dragonball Z characters
and Batman...it was a pretty good childhood. Even though I stopped drawing
Dragonball Z characters, I still continue to draw superheroes. Drawing is
something I do because it literally keeps me alive; I can't imagine life if I
wasn't able to draw. Now, I'm striving to become an awesome DC or Marvel comic
artist...you know, like Jim Lee? Jim Lee is one of my greatest inspirations as
well as the incredible Kenneth Rocafort. Other inspirations of mine are Klaus
Janson, who was also my mentor at SVA, Matteo Scalera, and Sean Murphy. Their
works are amazing and I hope that later I will have the same impact on others
as they did for me.
