I wanted to first say Happy New Year to everyone who stops by here. It's been...I don't even remember it's all been such a blur. 2 or 3 years we've had this blog? It's always been a lot of fun for me and I hope this new year is just as cool. To me it's what you make of it and I've always tried to balance some dumb fun stuff, with I guess some artistic "shop talk" and as much art as possible.....whether it's something I like, something I've inked...or something I've drawn myself...I try and keep it interesting.
I basically learned to draw here as many of the old school lurkers and posters probably remember. It's been 3 years I've been tooling away on my penciling...or whatever weird thing I've gotten involved in (photography, mixed media, abstract, band drawings...). I hope my little attempts at different things continue to keep people wondering "what the hell is wrong with this guy, whats he doing?...or.... when is he going to draw a book?"
My current workload includes inking Whilce on Batman and Wetworks for a few more issues...although some personal stuff for me knocked me off inking Wetworks for 2 issues(I think issues 5 and 6)....and I am working on a pitch now for a brand new book....I'm starting it up as a grass roots thing. But I can say it would be a work that I would write, draw, and color. (and not ink funny enough..but more about that later)
you'll just have to wait and see. It's a different approach...but honestly I wouldn't do it any other way.
:)
So yeah, I wanted to say a proper Happy New Year to everyone here. I hope you all had a great Holiday season(enjoy your machaca plate) and I say now....let's get to work.
best

Ciao Rich!
I waited for a new post of yours:
new pix, new art.
I like the way you go through new paths.
In Italy we say: "In bocca al lupo". It's a greeting we do for those that start new projects or have an important thing to complete in a final step.
Hope this year will be a great new one for you!
Ciao Rich!
Great to read you again!
P.S.: Machaca is just too much for me at breakfast! :-D
Rich,
Good to hear something from you. It's been too long. I've been going through something of a back-to-basics, personal artistic renaissance journey for the last few months and was thinking about how inspiring it always was to watch you go through different phases and grow as an artist. I usually learned something from those, and they made me look at things from a different perspective. I hope that your schedule allows you to post a little more often around here in the future. Happy New Year!
Chris
Same to you Rich!!!
happy new years rish to you and the Wildstorm crew!

You guys are working on at least 2 books at once?
Man, it sounds like you all are either understaffed or underpaid. Or maybe everyone's just trying to pitch their own hits like yourself?
Cool man, I'll stay tuned.
In Texas, we say: "kick ass",
which means, well uh, assert yourself
and maybe even "In bocca al lupo".
Hungry like the wolf,
and ciaoing down,
Machaca de Steven
