Ronald Wimberly (Ron) is a fresh-faced young artist in the split traditions of Hokusai and Milton Caniff. He spends most of his time in Brooklyn sipping whisky, drawing and trying to beat his alter ego's Capcom Vs. SNK records. His alter-ego, D-Pi, a comic-book graphic-mixologist in the split traditions of Moebius and Kuniyoshi is not as uncomfortable talking about himself in the third person.

Artist Since
I never considered myself an "artist" its a label that was given to me when I painted a fire breathing brontosaurus over my preschool homework.
