Cover artist for AZTECA 2 and 3. A regular success on the convention circuit, Scott’s fans across the country recognize and love his work.

I have done work for the Imperium Comic Book “Trailer Park of Terror”, inking over such artists as David Newbold and Federico Zumel. I did two stories for the comic book Crime Wave published by Three J Productions, LLC.” To see more of his incredible body of work, check out Scott’s Deviant Art Page

Jason Longo

In June 2010 Red Stylo Media launched a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter.com to raise the funds to produce and print AZTECA, both the trade paperback graphic novel and the motion comic.
