\u00a0Greetings my fellow NERDs! \u00a0How is your MARVELous Monday going? \u00a0Mine started out just fine. \u00a0 Besides being alive and well, I started the day by watching one of my favorite films, Guardians of the Galaxy. \u00a0After the film was over, I sat down to write this post for you to enjoy. \u00a0Today, starts a new era for Derf’s Domain as well as Somewhatnerdy. \u00a0So, I decided to make some changes to how some of my posts are written. \u00a0For example, today I have an interview with a very talented comic artist. \u00a0I decided to call my future interviews with comic artists “Artist Spotlight” because simply, that is what we are doing. \u00a0I want to spotlight the talents that are out there in the world of comics for you to enjoy. \u00a0Today’s spotlight focuses on the one and only Gerardo Sandoval. \u00a0He is a power house for Marvel Comics. \u00a0He has worked on classic characters such as Spider-Man, Cable and Wolverine and he is now the main artist on the hit Guardians 3000 comic(pick up your copy today). \u00a0So, without further delay, I give you my interview with Gerardo Sandoval.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SWN: \u00a0Who are you and where are you from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

GS – I am a Marvel comics artist and I come from M\u00e9xico.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SWN: \u00a0I love your artwork! Can you tell us what comic book titles you have worked on?<\/strong><\/p>\n

GS – For the North American industry: Tomb Raider, Evil Ernie, Insane Clown Posse, Captain Marvel, What if: Avengers vs X-Men, Cable and the X-Force, Wolverine, X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy and now as the main artist for the new Marvel’s Guardians 3000.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SWN: \u00a0One of my favorite projects of yours is your work on Marvel\u2019s Guardians 3000 title. Do you have a favorite title that you have worked on?<\/strong><\/p>\n

GS – Well, Wolverine is one of my favorite characters and I really loved to work in those books.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Besides Guardians, any exciting projects coming up?<\/strong>
\n GS – Yes, but I can’t talk about it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SWN: \u00a0Nice, cannot wait to see what it is. \u00a0What was your first illustration as a comic artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n

GS – The Mexican version of “The Little Flintstones” when I was 17 years old.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SWN: \u00a0When did you know that drawing comics would be your career?<\/strong><\/p>\n

GS – When I saw for the first time the art of Todd McFarlane in Spider-man. Was for me a huge surprise to see someone having all the freedom to do whatever he wanted with his pages. A total inspiration for me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"SPIDERMAN<\/a><\/p>\n

SWN: \u00a0What projects are you working on that you cannot wait to share with the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n

GS – This is a good question, but the reason why I can’t wait to talk about it it’s because actually I can’t talk about it. :D<\/strong><\/p>\n

SWN: \u00a0More secrets eh? \u00a0Love it! \u00a0I’ll find out somehow. \u00a0Now, if you could be a part of any creative team to create any figure in comics history, past or present, who would it be and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

GS – I think that the 90’s was the biggest moment in the American comics industry, the creation of Image Comics with all the top rock stars involved, was a huge success. I would loved to be part of those days as professional creator and been part of that Image Comics time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SWN: \u00a0If you were not in the world of comics, where would you be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

GS – I don’t have idea. I can’t see myself doing some other stuff but comics and I never had in my mind other profession but to draw super heroes. So I can’t see myself in other profession but doing comic books an that is why I fought for my dreams with all my heart and soul.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SWN: \u00a0Where can my readers see more of your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

GS – My site: www.gerardo-sandoval.com<\/a> (there you can find my twitter<\/a>, tumblr<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook<\/a> and deviantart<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can check updates two or three times per week in my Facebook.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SWN: \u00a0I want to take this time to thank Gerardo Sandoval for taking the time to answer my questions. \u00a0I am a huge fan and wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors. \u00a0I cannot wait to see what other projects he will have for us to enjoy in the future. \u00a0Until next time, get your READ on!<\/strong><\/p>\n
