LeSean Thomas is, without a doubt, one of the dopest artists working these days. He’s done animation on shows like The Boondocks, where he co-directs and supervises character design, and Ben 10: Alien Force, where he’s done design and storyboard work. Comics fans will know him from his Street Fighter, Cannon Busters, and Ninja Turtles projects.
“Midnight Marauders” is not just the title A Tribe Called Quest’s dopest album. It’s also the title of LeSean’s upcoming art book, Midnight Marauder volume 2. Here’s the info straight from the publisher’s site:
“Artist LeSean Thomas ( Co-Director/Supervising Character Designer of Peabody Award Winning “The Boondocks” Animated Series / Cartoon Network’s Ben10: Alien Force animated series) returns with his highly anticipated MIDNIGHT MARAUDER: THE ART OF LESEAN THOMAS VOLUME 2, a second collection of illustrations, conceptual designs and tutorial anecdotes. Featuring visual ranges from American animation and anime-influenced stylings to edgy, urban-driven aesthetics, it’s a visual tour de force of unique and dynamic work from one of today’s top American contemporary character artists.”
He sent over a preview for us to check out and I can verify that it looks great. We’ve got four pages and the cover linked below. Check those out, and then go to his site and order it. If you can’t wait until July, hop over to his DeviantArt page and check that out, too. He’s got storyboards, Boondocks art, and a ton of sketches.
Look for more with LeSean on PCS soon.
