Anyone who follows Drumfish
Productions or sees us at conventions, knows Jamie Fay and his amazing work!
Jamie is the artist and co-creator of NEVERMINDS, helps with all of Drumfish’s
promo ads and art and is one of the few creators who contributed to both
SENTINELS Anthologies. In fact, Jamie’s first printed sequential work was in
the first SENTINELS Anthology where he did the art for Firebomb’s story.
As I mentioned in my last
spotlight, the second SENTINELS Anthology wouldn’t exist without Jamie, Ihor
Loboda and Luciano Vecchio. These guys really went above and beyond to complete
the book. Jamie drew the main part of the big third-generation SENTINELS story
and did an incredible job. It was important to have an artist who could work
off of Luciano’s layouts as well as make the story their own. Jamie had a lot
of input to the final designs of the third-gen team and created a hybrid look
that showcase his work as well as stayed true to Luciano’s ideas. Jamie took
each character and made their looks unique and exciting!
Jamie also makes his writing debut
within the Anthology with his story for Gospel. Drawn by Stephane De Caneva and
colored by NEVERMINDS colorist, Danielle Alexis St. Pierre. It’s a great story
that fits perfectly between SENTINELS Book 1: Footsteps and Book 3: Echoes and reveals
what happened to Gospel while she served as ruler of Hell. The story seemed to
flow very naturally for Jamie and I wouldn’t be surprised if one day soon, he
does more writing and perhaps even writes and draws his own story!
As if all of that wasn’t enough,
Jamie also drew the front cover and designed the credit pages within the second
SENTINELS Anthology. This created a consistent and professional look for the
book that is striking and can’t be denied.
By now, you all know what kept
Jamie from working on NEVERMINDS for so long. But, he’s jumping back into the
series soon and I’m looking forward to seeing him complete the first story arc!
I’m also excited to see what new prints and art he creates. His recent Marvel pinups
of Agents and Shield and Agent Carter have gotten him a lot of attention and
even been shared and re-tweeted by some of the cast members. So, if you haven’t
seen them and/or want to see more of Jamie’s art, check out his DeviantArt page

I predicted long ago that
SENTINELS artist, Luciano Vecchio would one day be working with one of the big
comic companies and I’ve had the pleasure to see that vision come true. The
same can be predicted about Jamie Fay. Mark my words, one day he will be
working for the big guys and I would place money on him drawing one of the
X-Men books (or maybe Captain Marvel!).
