Books

Heroes
My grandparents. They encouraged me to do what I can, and then go even further. I probably wouldn't be following my dreams if it weren't for their support when I was growing up.
About me: It's always good to start a story near the beginning. My name is Diana Greenhalgh, but some of my friends know me better as Mecha.
I am a professional inker, and I draw pinup girls in my spare time. I plan to expand into sequential penciling in the future as well. I'm also the current Editor in Chief of Ronin Studios, and editor of the Ronin Illustrated anthology series.
Personally I'm an adventurer. I like to explore things.... I like to take the long road or the hard one. You miss so much when you take a shortcut. Of course that's landed me in a few tight places too! But all of it adds to life lessons and experiences.
"In art, everything anyone teaches you becomes part of your style. As long as there's more of you in there than everyone else, you've got something that you can't doubt."
- Michael Turner (1971-2008 RIP)
"Life is full of stupid little things. There's no sense in being upset about things you can't do anything about. So go do the stuff you can do. You just need to keep your eye on the big picture."
- Michael Turner (1971-2008 RIP)
'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"'
- Unknown

"Defeat your enemies with success."
Who I'd like to meet: Jim Lee, Waki, Rick Ketcham, Juan Vlasco, Tim Townsend and others. Anyone that I can learn from as an artist, or that I have something in common with.
Other comic book artists and fans.... anyone I can talk to about comics, really.
If you're a band or you're just trying to see how many people you can collect, please don't send me invites, I won't accept them. I have no interest in being part of a fanclub.
Hey, thanks for becoming part of my "friend" space! I'm looking to get more plugged in with creatives worldwide through this social network.
Inking is SO undervalued by the general populace, it's great to see an artist declare, "I am an inker!" Great inking makes poor art sing. Bad inking turns good art into mush. Kuddos!
My Xeric grant winning book "Jazz: Cool Birth" is now in September's Previews for preorder at comic shops, a murder mystery in a 1957 jazz bar, with art and type based on '50s album cover design, dig? Bebop for your glims.
I'm looking forward to exploring the MySpace pages of all of my new "friends" (Man, does that sound square).
