I Miss Artists.

Damn it, I tell you…in this business, other pros always tell you to not get TOO attached to your creative team. But I can’t help it, when you get a great artist, no matter how much you get to work with them, it’s never enough. And the best ones are almost ALWAYS the most supportive, the most creative, and the best at adding ideas on the page. So you just plain miss the partnership of working with someone who cares as much as you do about the work.

Artists I miss all the time: Dale Eaglesham, Nicola Scott, Bernard Chang, Aaron Lopresti, Terry Dodson, Jason Wright, Wade Von Grawbadger, Rachel Dodson, Ed Benes, Joe Bennett, Joe Prado, John Byrne, Michael Golden, Eddy Barrows, Mike Norton, Phil Ortiz, Udon Studios, Alvin Lee, Carlo Barber, Talent Caldwell, Adriana Melo, Jim Calafiori, Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, Neil Googe, Jesus Saiz, Duncan Rouleau, Nei Ruffino, Tom Derenick, Peter Nguyen, Adam Hughes, Artgerm, Yildiray Cinar, Dan Jurgens, Lea Hernandez, Kevin Maguire, Horacio Domingues, Dan DeCarlo, those are just off the top of my head, for Pete’s sake. I know I am momentarily forgetting some.

Man, looking at that list makes me realize how ridiculously fortunate I am. I can’t believe I got to work with all of these people.

The plus is, I have secret things in place with a few of them, so it is possible to go home again!  ;)
