I am a visual artist working predominantly in the field of graphic-prose. I write and illustrate comic-books, both independently and with occassional collaborators. I would describe my visual art style as naturalistic and traditional, charged with a contemporary sensibility and sense of composition. I have self-published my own comic-books: SMOKING GUNS and HERO CORP., INTERNATIONAL, and am currently the Lead Artist & Project Manager on the comic-book series CHUTZ-POW! SUPERHEROES OF THE HOLOCAUST. My ultimate goal is professionally self-sustaining creativity, and I consider every project a part of that composition.

While creating freelance artwork, he also worked as an Art Instructor at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts from 1993-1999. Walker is currently a board member at The ToonSeum, Pittsburgh's Museum of the Comic and Cartoon Arts. He has self-published HERO CORP., INTERNATIONAL, a limited-issue comic-book series focusing on corporate superheroes, and he is the lead artist and project manager of CHUTZ-POW! SUPERHEROES OF THE HOLOCAUST, a comic-book series published by The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh. In 2017, he was the winner of The Pittsburgh City Paper's Reader's Poll for Best Local Cartoonist.
