He is best known for his watercolor paintings found in or on illustrious publications such as Marvels, Astro City, Batman and Justice. His artwork may be found in comic books (and their covers) but if you've seen his work, there's no doubt that it is art in the highest sense of the term.
This isn't Tippy the Turtle, you know.
My favorite work by Ross is a 4-issue series he created with Mark Waid in 1996 called Kingdom Come. It is the superhero equivilent of the gotterdamerung or ragnarok. Sure, that theme has been done to death in comics, but this story of the twilight of the gods is the superior to all the others.
Ross lives and works in the greater Chicagoland area.
