Rufus Dayglo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rufus Dayglo is a London based comics artist whose style is often compared to Mike McMahon's. Dayglo has worked sporadically for 2000 AD, mostly on the Judge Dredd strip. He has also worked as a professional animator since the early 90s, and has worked on Warners Brothers Films, hundreds of television commercials and was one of the team working on the first few Pop promos for the "animated band" Gorillaz.
According to Rebellion's former graphic novels editor, Jamie Boardman, Rufus Dayglo is the artist's real name, not a pseudonym. [1]
Dayglo has made several contributions to the thriving British small press comics scene, including Solar Wind, and the fanzines Class of '79 and Dogbreath: these contributions include stories and interviews with well-known figures.
He is also a dealer in comics art, selling work by various artists with 2000 AD connections like Carlos Ezquerra, Henry Flint and Trevor Hairsine, amongst others.
Rufus is a well-known figure on the UK comics and sci-fi convention scene, thanks to striking tattoos of comics art that cover most of his visible body.
