E. J. Su

If he's with Guido Guidi here, would that make them peas in a pod?

E. J. Su is an artist from Taiwan. Before signing on with IDW Publishing as a comic book artist, he was an artist with Image Comics (where he co-created [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Tech Jacket|{{#if:||Tech Jacket}}]] with Robert Kirkman) and had done some Transformers art for Hasbro. He left comic books as a career in 2010 to take a job as a full-time industrial designer for a company making cases for mobile phones,<ref>{{#if: For those who are wondering, (hopefully there are some) I've left my comic book career behind to work as a full-time industrial designer for more than an year now. |"For those who are wondering, (hopefully there are some) I've left my comic book career behind to work as a full-time industrial designer for more than an year now."—|}}{{#if: https://www.deviantart.com/ej-su/journal/I-am-back-253164058 |E.

Notes

• When it was pointed out to Su at BotCon 2009 that his artwork for Doctor Arkeville from Genesis: The Art of Transformers was used at the top of Arkeville's TFWiki page, Su noted that he had never been paid for his Genesis work. This presumably includes the Spike Witwicky/Optimus Prime piece he contributed as well.
• He has claimed to be one of the early conceptual artists for Transformers Animated, in response to a Facebook comment of his Animated Grimlock fan art.
