My name is Darryl Knickrehm, comic artist for Simulation Theory, Feeder, The Argus, The Immortal Resurrected, 10 Billion, and Lost Souls: Haywire. You can call me Darryl, or what people call me around this neck of the woods: Dariru. That’s because I live in Japan. I’m originally from the sunny shores of Orange County, California, but somehow found myself calling Japan home. 

I haven’t inked pages with Image, BOOM, or the Big Two. But someday I hope to. My works have found a home at Dark Horse, Comixology, Source Point Press, Sumerian, Scout, Action Lab, and 215 Ink (now Invader). I’ve also been fortunate to share the creative stage with incredible minds—Mark Bertolini, Curt Pires, Trevor Boyd, David Pepose, and Marcu Knoesen. Each collaboration has been a great experience and a testament to the beauty of shared creativity.

I also specialize in trippy, sci-fi illustrations. You can see a few on this site and on the site for author Akito Black.
