Ronnie Thunderbolts Artwork!




Hello, I'm Ronnie Thunderbolts (also known as Jared M. Jones), a Kindergarten teacher, sometime artist, and a huge fan of comics.

Although I've enjoyed both Marvel and DC's superheroes my entire life, I've been particularly fond of many of Marvel's classic, iconic characters.

The character that speaks most to my sense of admiration of this heroic archetype is Captain America. After seeing Captain America make a brief cameo in the show X-Men: Evolution, I decided that I needed to see more Marvel heroes rendered in such a wonderful style. Inspired by the immensely talented 'Evolution series artist Steven Gordon, I've begun the daunting task of creating images of Marvel heroes and villains, starting from a "Cap-centric" place and spreading outward, until my desire to see these characters is met.

My ever-expanding list of characters makes me think this will not come at any time soon, and thanks to Dave Medinnus of the wonderful Star-Spangled Site, I am able to share these pictures with you through this excellent website.

I hope that you enjoy the art here, and that it may either create an interest in some of my favorite Marvel characters, or speak to some of those who already appreciate them as much as I do. Thanks for stopping by, and remember to read comics, early and often. There are comics from every genre imaginable, and there is something for everyone, from Marvel, to Darkhorse, to Oni, to DC, from independent publishers, to the mainstays of the Golden Age of comics.
