Tone Rodriguez - Card SK4

Tone was born March 6, 1968, and raised in North Hollywood, California. As a child, the only two things young Tone ever wanted to do was to be a professional wrestler and a comic book artist. Choosing a life as a LUCHADOR, then named "Hombre del Toro," he worked under a mask that hid his born-and-bred good looks. After several years of working mid-cards in the Pan Handle State, "Hombre" was asked to tour Latin America. But after a horrendous incident in an undisclosed south-of-the-border arena, Tone fled home to the states, and left his wrestling life behind.

Falling back on a career in art, Tone has since drawn several comic books for Image, Cross-Gen, Bongo and APE Entertainment. As a fan of Mike Mignola's HELLBOY, Tone promises to lay the smackdown and do a HELL-OF-A-JOB on this set.  www.tonerod.com

Mark Dos Santos - Card SK5

His story begins as most do -- a child with raw talent trapped in a hellish, nightmarish world…New Jersey. After honing his skills at the Joe Kubert School, he escaped to California with his beautiful wife, Jennifer. Now he was ready to show the world his gift. He began slowly, working on small titles and creator-owned projects. But soon bigger projects came: WESTERN TALES OF TERROR, MONKEY ON A WAGON VS. LEMUR ON A BIG WHEEL, and most recently, JOHNNY REPEAT. During this time, he was also working on sketch cards for INKWORKS on sets like ROBOTS, & FAMILY GUY seasons 1 & 2. Mark is currently designing box art for DUNCAN YOYO'S and working on a project with STEVE NILES and DAN WICKLINE. www.markdossantos.com

Jeff Zugale - Card SK8

Jeff  Zugale started his career drawing with a permanent marker on his grandfather’s freshly-painted bathroom wall – and got spanked by the critics!

Jeff now makes most of his living as a concept artist for video games, lives in Los Angeles, and dodges horrible drivers on cell phones daily on his motorcycle. www.jeffzugale.com

John Czop - Card SK9

He's extremely grateful to his beautiful wife, Jessica, who still believes in him after 10 years. In 2005 he drew almost 4,500 sketch cards for various companies, including Inkworks. John keeps on sketching because of cool gigs like HELLBOY SWORD OF STORMS. His work can currently be seen in the all new Cracked magazine, trading cards, comic books and many other places.
