Meet the incredible Caanan White, the current art director of the Rippaverse. If you are a comic book fan, you will have enjoyed picking up a book illustrated by this outstanding artist. With over 15 years of experience, Caanan has worked with everyone from Marvel and Image Comics to 1First Comics, Dabel Brothers Productions, and everyone in between. His work was first published in 2006 by the independent comic book publisher Dabel Brothers and industry titans like Marvel. This marked the beginning of his professional career as a graphic novel artist.
In 2008, Caanan’s submissions would catch the attention of Avatar Press, which resulted in White being hired on to work on two war titles – Uber, written by Kieron Gillan, and The Harlem Hellfighters with writer Max Brooks. Caanan White’s most beloved collaborations include his covers for Luke Cage: Gang War for Marvel and Son of Shaolin, written by Jay Longino. Caanan loves the material he works on, and his passion can clearly be felt in his striking visuals, which show how he brings the characters to life in a way only he can. It was not long before our founder, Eric July, began scouting top talent to come onto the Rippaverse.
Caanan started as a cover artist for the company, but his stylish artwork was quickly recognized by fans. Caanan’s gorgeous short box that he designed for the Rippaverse celebrated every character released at the time and showed an intense understanding of each unique hero and villain. Caanan was brought on full-time as our Lead Art Editor when we, the Soska Sisters, joined as editors and Lore Masters. One of the greatest parts of working for the Rippaverse is working with artists as talented as Caanan White, as it drives us to be even better artists. Since joining the company, every artist has had the benefit of Caanan’s guidance and expertise to continue to grow and evolve. I had the pleasure of chatting with this extraordinary artist about his career, his inspiration, and what the future holds.
