Thank
you everyone for the nicest hate mail anybody could ask for. Hehe.
Reading these messages, I am reminded of the best comment I ever
received. It came from a friend of mine while we were still in
High School. He was a black belt in Kenpo and a fellow comic book
artist (both of us at the time were trying to be Jim Lee when
we grew up). He came up to me and said "If you ever quit
drawing, I will come find you and kick your ass." If you're
reading this Jon - thanks, man!
I
also recently added a link to Phil
Craven. He's the only person I know who actually has a masters
in comics (graphic narrative). I am at the same time awed and
dumbfounded by this. What the hell were you thinking, Phil? And
on another note, that is so freakin' cool! Check
out his work, folks. This guy can draw a mean cartoon.
I am also trying to get my friend Chris
Appelhans to make a little banner, but he has yet to get off
his arse and do it. Chris is one of the most talented illustrators
I have ever eaten Pho with, so check
out his skillz and be amazed.
Aaaaand....
...of course I saw the Lord of the Rings - The Return of the
King Tuesday night. And of course it was amazing. I imagine
it will be difficult for another film trilogy to come close to
capturing the spirit and quality of this one for many years to
come. I was tired before walking into the midnight show, and I
felt pretty awake three and a half hours later as I was driving
home.
Technical
note...
Is
anyone having trouble seeing the site? It seems that the site
is pretty much shut down every other day for some people out there.
