His art studio, Jolly Roger Studio, is based out of Macon, Georgia.

Biography

Harris debuted in the comics in 1989 and rose to prominence in 1994 with the publication of DC comics’ "Starman". Co-created with James Robinson, "Starman" led the two to critical acclaim and eventually a Will Eisner comic industry award for the "Sand and Stars" story arc.

After four and a half years on Starman, Harris left to pursue other projects but remained as cover artist on "Starman" for another year and a half. During this time he was also one of the original members of Atlanta's Gaijin Studios. Gaijin Studios has long been considered an influential breeding ground for some of American comics' most prominent talents, thanks in part to Harris' contributions.

Upcoming projects include "War Heroes" with Mark Millar, published by Image Comics. [ [http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=155987 A Week of War Heroes 1: The Art Side] , Newsarama, May 5, 2008]

In the late 1990s he moved on to form Jolly Roger Studio.

Other works include key frame animation and story boards for Chevrolet commercial, illustration for Cartoon Network, product design and illustration for Universal’s The Mummy.
