Artist is obviously influenced by the likes of John J. Muth and Bill Sienkiewicz. I'm sure he has fans, or he wouldn't keep getting work. These just arent my cup of tea.

I don't see any Muth in it at all, the shapes are so unsure. There's a lot of very poor Dave McKean imitation, but who and whatever the influence, it's not influenced Simmonds enough IMHO.

Yes, I forgot McKean. The "rush brush" motion effects is very much his signature style.



Here is what I mean with Muth. Not as overly defined/tight in some areas, void of extreme detail, but effective and stylized.
