Joining us from the virtual studio in Connecticut, JaVon Stokes talks about his passion for graphic and sequential arts and 3D animation. He always had a love for comic books, and credits his early introduction to comics as the reason for his accelerated reading at an early age.

His mother was a well-known painter in the Connecticut and the New England area, and he was introduced to the arts by her skill and artistic contributions. She saw he was interested and good at drawing and creating comics, so she pushed him into art programs which further developed his skills.

He has always worked for himself since high school creating art products and doing projects for a fee, so being his own boss was all he’s ever known. He also shares his views on balancing out the highs and lows of being a business owner and entrepreneur, and how he’s driven to make the arts exciting again.

We got into a discussion about his comic book Heat and he tells us how he developed the character and the storyline which was a pretty dope process. Diversity is always important, and his focus is the inclusion and representation of black women and men in the comic universe, and getting their stories told. He’s excited about a few new projects he’s working on, and looks forward to displaying them on his website.



Catch him at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut on August 17, 18, and 19th at Terrificon! He’ll have a booth so go cop you some comics yo! We talk comics..THE QUAD WAY!
