Shawn Crystal

Shawn Crystal dropped into this world with a spiderman T-Shirt and a pencil in his hand. He spent his childhood days drawing dinosaurs and super heroes, engaged in EPIC battles. The only breaks he took were the afternoons spent skateboarding while listening to hardcore and early hip hop. He went on to study art at Towson University, where he met his future wife, Stephanie. From there, they moved to Savannah, where he worked towards an MFA in Sequential Art.  Shawn got his first job while in school, Resident Evil: Fire and Ice, a mini series for Wildstorm. Comics work dried up after that, but he went on to work in animation, concept design for video games, and teaching.  A few years ago, Marvel hired Shawn on Deadpool, living his childhood dream . Shawn is Currently an exclusive Artist for Marvel comics and the Program coordinator for The Sequentail Art Dept. at SCAD Atlanta. He lives with his wonderful wife (Stephanie), and two beautiful children (Zac and Zoe) , who frequently wonder, who is this man running around the house in nothing but a Spider man T-Shirt with a pencil in his hand, drawing Dinosaurs and Marvel Super Heroes.
