Sonny day?















This is Page 1 of the 1st issue of Loose Ends. I'm sure it'll get tweaked before this book sees print sometime this summer. Starting any new project that will be longer than a few pages or one issue is always kind of scary. Aside from doing your best and hitting deadlines, when you start a new book, you are setting up rules for yourself on those first few pages. So, you have to do your best to see the future. "Will my solution I used to solve a problem on this page work when I have similar yet slightly different circumstances in issue 2 or 3?" Chris keeps an eye out for this stuff for me, he knows what the future holds for the most part so he know what will work and what could be trouble down the road. Anyway , it feels like we're firing on all cylinders now. I for one am over the initial intimidation of starting something new. RAH!

Maaaaan, truer words were never spoken. I hear ya on all of the above, accept I tend to make harder on myself by ignoring those "rules" I established early on. But that's just because I'm mental.

Said it once before but it bears repeating... can't WAIT for this book. Keep it up man, s'lookin hot!

great page, awesome colour, and very true advices. Or at least I feel them as true, since I never made any long project, but that always was in my mind, what if your style changes from issue 1 to 3? will readers recognize your new solutions as improvements or they will want more of your old things? Very interesting indeed.

what makes this page even more beatiful, is you sharing the process to it's completion.

peace out
