Biography

edit

Born and raised in Boston, Randolph lives in Brooklyn, New York.[1]

In an interview with Bleeding Cool, Randolph discussed his influences growing up:

I was always into the nerdy stuff – comics, video games, cartoons/anime. Escapism was the name of the game when you lived in the neighborhood I grew up with. . . . Even as a kid I was always analyzing things and trying to come up with ways that I would do them differently. . . . I wasn't the typical comic book fan at first. I was aware of Marvel and DC but they didn't really connect with me until I was a teenager. My first comic book love was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I pored over those books until they were literally falling apart. All of the great mainstream books of the 80s I had to discover much, much later. . . . The real turning point for me, however, was Image Comics. The art and the production values on those early books, specifically the colors, hit me like a ton of bricks. Youngblood, Cyberforce, WildCATS, Spawn – It was like nothing I had seen before, like truly next-level stuff. And plus, the way Wizard covered those creators back in the early 90s made them seem like true rock stars. It was over after that. I wanted that life.[2]

Randolph graduated from the School of Visual Arts in 2000 with a BFA in Cartooning & Illustration.[3][2]

His first published comic work was Spider-Man: Legend of the Spider-Clan #5, published by Marvel in 2003.

He was a guest at the 2006 edition of the Big Apple Comic Con's National Comic Book, Art, Toy & Sci-Fi Expo.

Randolph illustrated cards in the Chaotic Trading Card Game, released in 2007.[4]

Randolph worked on We Are Robin, which launched in June 2015, with writer Lee Bermejo and artist Rob Haynes, which detailed multiple teenagers in Gotham City who take up the mantle of Robin.

From 2013 to 2015 he created covers for DC Comics' Batman Beyond Universe. In 2016, Randolph created covers for Black Mask Studios' Black.

In 2019, he and writer Brandon Thomas launched the creator-owned series Excellence with Image Comics/Skybound Entertainment.[5] Excellence, created entirely by people of color, is about a secret society of black magicians.[5]
