While putting together my art book I found this postcard for DOWN TIME– that was a comic that never got off the ground years ago.

On the back of the post card was one of the women from my Pillow fight book– seen on that PF back cover there. (look there’s Corey’s SHARKNIFE too)

The post card came out of a job where Heavy metal magazine wanted me to draw a Suicide girls issue of the magazine. it seemed like a dream gig back then in pre Image days that could pay my rent and also get a HM issue with more than a short by me in it– (I had a couple stories in HM’s sci fi special before that)

If I remember right the Suicide girls people wanted Jhonen Vasquez instead of me (which I assume wasn’t in the budget if they were trying for 29 year old – unknown me on the book) & it fell through and never happened– but the writer on the thing wanted to still do something– Downtime was one of his ideas. 

It probably died because, truth me told I prefer to write my own stuff- with exceptions of the Wicked and Divine or Empowered issues I did. but those were chances for me to get paid to draw fan art on books I already loved. 

I dunno what happened to Gagnon but I hope he’s doing good.
