About me: Please check out my eBay auctions -- search "Michael L Peters". I sell my art prints and original art, now and then.
Who is Michael L. Peters? I've drawn Comics for such publishers as Heavy Metal Magazine, Caliber, Image, and CFD. I sometimes also work as a writer, having written all of my Heavy Metal stories.
I have a couple comics projects in the works. CRESCENT CITY MAGICK, a series I'm writing and drawing about a man on the run from his fears and a young witch who thinks this man has the makings of a hero.
I have previews in my pics.
I create and sell Prints mostly on mythological themes, in pen & ink, watercolor and/or acrylics (originals aren't for sale, as yet). Prints can be purchased through my website, or through my eBay auctions -- just search "Michael L Peters".
A few years ago, I was hired by Ferris State University to create a series of pen & ink portraits of their former presidents.
I'm currently able to draw a few commissions between other projects.
