 | | (Artist - Amazing Spider-Man) | |  | |  Paolo Rivera, a Marvel-exclusive artist, has been working professionally since 2002. Although he began his career as an oil painter, he has since moved on to penciling, inking, and coloring (not to mention sculpting). Rivera was born and raised in Daytona Beach, FL, and graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2003, where he studied under David Mazzucchelli, among others. He broke into the comics industry thanks to writer Jim Krueger, whom he met at Megacon in Orlando, FL (while he was still in high school).
Rivera's best known work is Mythos, a series of six richly-painted origin stories written by Paul Jenkins. Originally published as one-shots, it was collected into a hardcover edition in 2008. He now limits his painted work to covers such as The Twelve, The Iliad, and the Wolverine Art Appreciation Month series. He spends the remainder of his time on The Amazing Spider-Man, on which he is currently hard at work. You can see his art and take an in-depth look at his creative process at paolorivera.blogspot.com, a blog that he updates regularly.
