Edmund works from his home studio near Helotes in the Texas Hill Country. “I grew up in San Antonio and its outer cities, but living out in the Hill Country is just magnificent. Most people don’t know that Conan the Barbarian was actually created in the Texas Hill Country.”
Edmund says that his Texas heritage is to blame for his stubborn perseverance. “Being a Texan influences everything I do. I think most people see Texans as horse-riding cowboys, but we are pushing the boundaries of modern culture in Texas. I think it makes me a harder worker within the show business industry because you have to cross over people’s preconceived notions.”
Edmund’s work will be featured in two upcoming comics, one tentatively titled “The Bus” by Clay Dugger, set to be released next year, and CCP Comics’ “A Perfect Wonder” by Kent Alan and McLain McGuire due out in March 2017. His work can currently be seen in “Drill Bits,” a bi-weekly military-themed comic written by Jae Boddie.
