Jim,<P>Great work on this comic, I look forward to watching the story grow! Excellent composition, trippy light/shadow use, and such neat colors. And the drawings? Wow. Each one's good enough to be a poster. And kudos for the tutorials and beautiful geocities site -- though you may want to move it to keepspace since it's exceeding allowed bandwidth and locking people out. Anyway, many thanks!<P>PS: I found this site through a link on Lee Adam Herold's "Chopping Block" -- <A HREF="http://www.choppingblock.org/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.choppingblock.org/</A> <P>-angstorm<P>[This message has been edited by angstorm (edited 09-29-2001).]<p>[This message has been edited by angstorm (edited 09-29-2001).]

Great stuff man!!<P>Makes me wish I would've be able to keep doing Zap Jones, instead of burning myself out so quick. <P>Can't wait to see how the story develops.<P>------------------

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Thanks. Actually, some people have mentioned that putting together a store on Cafe Press would be good for turning some of my favorite images into mugs, shirts, etc... I think that may be a bit premature, but I'm thinking down the road that would be fun.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>

Woooooow. This is beautiful! Amazing artwork, and i really like the blue shades. SO much more interesting than just black on white. Thanks! BTW, I followed the link in from the Keenspace Top 99, in case you are curious.

</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Well, it is very flattering. It's a great feeling getting praise from people and knowing that there's an audience for the work I'm doing. It makes it easier to spend the time on the pages.<P>Hearing where people found the page from is useful. Letting me know what they like about the page is also helpful. Any questions or suggestions would also be great.<P>Heck, people can post just about anything here (except spam). I'm not picky. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">
