Josh Shockley
Josh Shockley was born and raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. At a young age he started drawing and creating his own comics alongside his younger brother Mat. Their parents realized early on that the pair had a passion for drawing and pushed for them to further their skills. The two actively perused art in high school under the guidance of Tom Hogan, and after graduation both enrolled in the Art Department at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in Princess Anne, Maryland.
Under the structured classes of Illustration and Sequential Art (comic book art) taught by fellow Independent Comic Artist Brad Hudson, the boys were exposed to the various finer points of constructing comic books.
In Fall of 2006 Josh was one of the contributing artists to PLB Comics’ first self published book- PLB COMICS PRESENTS #1. The book was comprised of 5 short ongoing stories and Josh wrote, drew and inked the Danger Squad segment, as well as wrote and inked the Portal 317 segment.
It was a month later that another great milestone was reached in Josh’s life when he married his longtime girlfriend Model/Actress Melanie Spencer.
Currently Josh is busier than ever, serving as co editor/writer and a contributing artist on the widely anticipated upcoming anthology book The Fall: Vengeance and Justice, which features self contained short stories featuring PLB’s vigilante The Fall, illustrated by a variety of today’s finest indie artists.
Josh is also in the process of creating a full color 5 page story that will debut online entitled “Cassandra’s Dream” featuring the demon/vampire villainess character from the Gideon and Sebastian storyline.
He also plans to continue his Danger Squad storyline that debuted in the “Presents” title , as well as writing and drawing a 4 page short stories for Brad Hudson’s upcoming sci fi anthology book.
Josh has an upcoming Film Noir mystery project in the works as well entitled “Jackson Q. Daniels: Nothing like a Dame”
Other completed works have included a 4 page short story of Nathan Thomas Milliner’s “The Malevolent” series, as well as book illustrations for local folk lore author Andy Nunez’s “Ghosts of the Eastern Shore” series, as well as a various and wide range of commission works.
