Hugh Vogt puts the “ill” in illustrator! - with his wicked sick artwork, and mild to severe allergies. Descended from Welsh kings, Vogt ducked his bloody heritage to hone his craft at Pasadena’s Art Center College of Design - then soon made a name for himself with his sought-after freelance work. While his rugged good looks and boyish charm could open any door, he’d rather cuddle with you and a box of thin mints.

Known primarily as an inker, Jeff does, on occasion turn his attentions towards full art.
