Reas is Todd James, and Todd James rules. So many artists are respected for their tight lines, extreme detail and rendering. If you like that style, go pick up a Mike Giant book or a Jeremy Fish. The only thing you'll find here is FUN. Todd's loose drawing style stems from his old school funky graf roots in NY, 70's cartoons and psychedelia which explains the FUNK that flows from his care-free characters. As an artist, he's exhibited with the best - ESPO, Barry McGee(TWIST), Ryan Mcguiness, etc. at some of the most respected galleries in the nation. Commercially, he's done projects with Urban Arts Research, designed characters for Crank Yankers and even did an ill montage for the new Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie. Basically, he's official and here's his most rawest sketches for all you to laugh over and color. You can't let growing up take the kid outta you - Todd helps you keep young.
