JB, seeing your tweaking of the strato-jet image put me in the mind of this, one of my favorite of your renderings of it in the last panel. Just a gorgeous take-off shot. Was this too in the pre-modeling days?

Was it ever!

To expand: when I started using models I promised myself it would be strictly for maintaining scale, details and proportions. I wouldn't model anything I couldn't simply draw. With the exception of some special effects in NEW VISIONS, so far I've been able to stick to this.

I'd just like to add mine to the chorus of appreciative and grateful voices here. I'm enjoying the work immensely. Thank you.

JB: With the wingtips visible. (Am I certifiable to be doing all this for a book that doesn't really exist??)

I know precisely what you mean. I co-created a card game in 1995. It was nationally distributed and made some good money, but my involvement ended in 1996 when I got fired from the studio producing it... and the game guttered out within a year.

Fast forward to 2017: I got emailed from a guy who loves the game, made a website for it, and wanted to interview me. Since then, we've become friends and I've written probably as much material to expand and improve the game as I did when I originally co-designed the thing. It will probably not go anywhere, except to gamers who like the card game, but it's been very satisfying.
