Artist's Comments

I've been wanting to do a JSA piece for a while now, when I tripped over this picture ([link]) by my idol Joe Kubert. Plus this was a great chance to exercise in drawing small characters, something I've never felt very good at, and included 5 or 6 characters I've never drawn before.

Matt Kaufenberg, :iconskutterfly:, is tackling colors on this one for me, and I'm very excited to see what he comes up with.

Joe is a great man. I have the distinct honor of attending the Joe Kubert School of Art (this being my 2nd of 3 years). Next year I get Joe as my teacher. I never get over seeing him, Andy and Adam in the halls. All three men are legends and true class acts. Watching him draw is really something else. Great homage, and great piece!
:icondan-sch:
Yikes stripes, man. It's got what Mr. Kubert was going for, while still remaining distinctly your piece... like all good homages, I suppose.

My hero is a schizophrenic super-sleuth who kills gangsters as a hobby. He rubs elbows with crimefighting Mimes and killer Nuns. His greatest foe is a voodoo pimp.

Face it, you're going to read my comic. [link]

Killer linework, muh man. I especially love the eclectic cross-hatching atop the JSA. Great stuff.

Can't wait to color this one:D Great job on it man!
:icondocshaner:
Thanks buddy. I was dying to do that hatching, and since Kubert did it in the original, this was the time.
:icondocshaner:
I'm so jealous of you right now I could do something dramatic. I actually came this close to applying when I got out of high school but wussed out, and I've never forgiven myself for it. I'm going to try and see him in Ohio in October, and that'll be a first for me.

Cripes, I'm gushing now. Thanks for the kind words.
