Very cool.

Do you do all the grids by hand? Are they done in pencil or blue line?

By hand, using my drafting machine. Generally
speaking, I don't use blue pencil.

Oh -- and because I know someone will ask...

Jim doesn't include the name of the customer when he sends me the commission requests. So I don't know whose is whose until I post them and the client identifies himself.

Ah! I was checking with Jim just yesterday to make
sure it was Mordo and not Dormammu.

That one is presently number 4 on the list.

theres an amzing feeling of excitement and anticipation while waiting on a commission.Infinitely better than Christmas or a birthday.

The worrying thing is its highly addictive!

Ryan,i couldnt resist it, when the possibility of the anatomy idea came up.I love seeing the process involved in creating art, and live for the day when JB does a DVD.

"A Day in the life of JB the artist".I bet it would sell a million, wonder what sales the George Perez DVD did?
