Mukesh Singh is an artist first and a comic’s artist second and he was born in Mumbai, India in 1976. He received a BFA in painting from the Sir J.J. School of Arts in Mumbai in 1997. He has worked on titles like Devi, Guy Ritchie’s Gamekeeper and Jenna Jameson’s Shadow. He has been an avid fan of comics his entire life, having found a Superman title in a rummage bin when he was a boy living in India. While he waited until now to put his talents and passion for benefiting the comic’s community, Singh has been in graphic design and illustration for years and he began his career as a comic artist at Virgin Comics on their Devi title, and has expanded his resume from there. He counts artists as varied as Gil Kane, Mike Mignola, and Leinil Francis Yu among his inspirations.

Phenakistoscope (1831) A phenakistoscope disc by Eadweard Muybridge (1893).The phenakistoscope was an early animation device. It was invented in 1831 simultaneously by the Belgian Joseph Plateau and the Austrian Simon von Stampfer. It consists of a disk with a series of images, drawn on radii evenly spaced around the center of the disk. Slots are cut out of the disk on the same radii as the drawings, but at a different distance from the center. The device would be placed in front of a mirror and spun. As the phenakistoscope is spun, a viewer would look through the slots at the reflection of the drawings which would only become visible when a slot passes by the viewer's eye. This created the illusion of animation.
