Reuben Rowlette-Thomas is a painter, illustrator, graphic novelist and writer from the Denver Metropolitan area. Focusing on sequential art and storytelling, he wants to provide thought provoking narratives, and satirical/humor to his work. As an African American, he is also interested in placing his stories in the context of black American culture, from its lifestyle, hopes, dreams, and oppressions. Working in the accessible medium, he hopes to add to the discussion of race, gender, identity and the many different qualities of the American culture.

Thomas admires the work of contemporary comic artists, Ronald Wimberly and Joe Sacco, in addition to their social commentary, he admires the facility of their brushstroke and line quality in their work. With this in mind, he uses a number of materials to create blends,tones and texture on a paper and/or wood panels. His work has been featured in a few exhibitions in the Denver area, while his main focus is concentrated on his current book, Realms of the Mind, a graphic collection of short stories, with a prospected completion date of Spring of 2018.
