An
American comic book artist inspired by Japanese
manga, or comics. His best known work is
Gold Digger, published by
Antarctic Press. His other currently published comic is
Legacy.
You may have looked at his art and noticed that with his style, all of the women have somewhat odd proportions - athletic, hourglass, with either no breasts or ones as big as their head. While one might normally dismiss this... he draws his guys a lot like this, with desirable male traits instead, of course. And no breasts. But all of his characters have these tendencies, even if they are supposed to be average looking.
Reason: He learned to draw while serving in Operation Desert Storm. Pornography wasn't allowed to the soldiers (partly because of army regulations, partly because this WAS deep in Islamic country)... so Fred made a few bucks drawing porn and selling it. Once he went back to the United States, he parlayed his newly honed drawing skills into drawing comics. The basis of his style is very apparent in his earlier work, but toned down in his more up-to-date stuff.
That said, he still sells porn drawings off his website. Some things never change.
