I always liked Brian's art; especially his Batman. He tends to make Batman's costume with a lot of black (I never did like the blue and gray). Then I actually got to meet him about 8 years ago at a convention and I was like, "He's a brotha!" That earned extra props. The other members of Gaijin were there too (Adam Hughes, Cully Hamner, and Georges Jeanty) and they were all real cool. They're based here in Atlanta. I commented to Brian about his Batman and he was like "Oh definitely... I try to make his costume as black as possible!"

I didn't know he was black either.
I always thought his Gaijin buddy Cully Hamner was black, but I have no idea why... Is he?

Back to Steelfreeze, he is a very good artist. I prefer his all too rares interiors to his covers. How come we don't see more of him? Or any of the Gaijin studio bunch of guys for that matter?

I met him (and Cully Hamner) at the last Heroes Con, and they are great guys. Someone gave Brian a GI Joe figure who looked exactly like him (bald head and all). Of course, he refuses to draw Firestorm unless he's paid to, but considering how many Firestorm covers he had to draw, I don't hold it against him.

Stelfreeze is a genius. I also love Hamner and most of the rest at Gaijin.

Hmmm.... there are some artists who seem to paint at every opportunity, but (in my opinion) do much better work when they use pencil and ink. Brian Stelfreeze is definitely one of those.

Never heard of him or saw his work before just now, but those are purty covers. Has he done any actual sequential work?

Gaijin Studios has always been synonymous with quality, and, with Stelfreeze and Hamner as the group's backbone, it's easy to see why. Both of those cats are top notch, and each should be doing more work.

Stelfreeze is such a great artist with a really wide range. Like Ian said, I just hope we get to see more of his work, as everything I've seen thus far has been incredible.

He made Domino interesting. I think that speaks volumes.

He is one of those artists who has a style all is own that is just so vibrant and wonderful. We need to see even more out of him.
