Artist Liam Sharp has been drawing all of his life. He grew up in the small industrial town of Derby, located in the UK midlands. His family and friends saw his loyalty and dedication to the arts, so they all just assumed that’s what he would do in life. Now, Liam is an accomplished artist working with everyone from heavy metal band Danzig to working DC comics on their Wonder Woman Rebirth series. He is also the founder and chief commercial officer at Madefire which is an website/app for comic book readers who enjoy reading their comics in full digital motion.

Liam was kind enough to spare some time to be to speak with me on his passion for drawing, as he talks about his love for art, and his work at DC comics.

When did you decide that illustrating and art was your passion?

There was never a time I didn’t draw. It was innate. And everybody around me – teachers, family, friends – just assumed that’s what I would do. Oddly there’s quite a lot of pressure in that assumption! You have a lot to live up to!
