I think I know what you're saying... you have ideas about your art and your creation and there's this place you want to get to creatively and can see yourself getting there but yet it seems so far away sometimes. Like you can see Sharknife all in your head, page 1 thru to page 200 or however many pages it is!

Well, if I'm not getting it, I can at least say I'm into all those things you've listed*. So you can definitely count me in for the Sharknife ride!

(*I'm more Dreamcast and I don't like triangles as much as you or David Mack.)

ya, that's one of the things i'm saying. i'm also just kind of touching on the idea that i want an entirely unified feel for all my work. not even a "style", but like, i want a grip on my shit. i want command over everything i do!!!

ha ha, want want. maybe if i write it enough it will fucking happen! it's all about practice, really. but writing it helps me remember that i want it.

B-but triangles are nature's strongest shape! Without them, all our bridges would have fallen into the sea by now!

[kingdodongo]

I'm totally fucking opposed to all of them. I'd kill them all if I could

lock-on technology

Word.

Reading SHARKNIFE, to me, is like watching TAI CHI MASTER, or POLICE STORY, or goddamned-motherfucking BUDDHA'S PALM.

It's got all the shit I want right where I want it, and I don't ask WHY because they answer is SHUT THE FUCK UP. If you've gotta ask the question, you shouldn't be there in the first place.

I read SHARKNIFE or PENG or RIVAL SKEWLZ, and I want to kick the shit out of something. While flying.

Your shit is like my own personal power-up, motherfucker.

[aves_ives]

rad. you are locked-on, then. my mission for you is to just destroy your mind with each new book i make!

Sharknife blew me away! Essency hit me in the gut with Buddha's Palm! Your work is the sh*t! Dude, don't worry about Sharknife changing, hell Sasuke changed from the last time we saw. Change is good! I have a whole lot of respect for you, cause you are able to incorporate all your loves into Sharknife and your other works! I want to see a feature length Sharknife animated movie!

Yo man...thanks for sharing...lemme tell ya. I remember when I first met you and bought Sharknife....If a cover sells a book,it sold yours(and ninjarage art all over the place helped too...) When I read it that night, I was blown away at how you captured stuff that reminded me of playing Sega Saturn....(Darkstalkers and Virtua Fighter Kids...etc) Sharknife is hella original. You gots lots of tricks up yoursleeve...lots of amazing character that you could run with...blah...Anyway, Viva Le Ceaser!

[violet_hemlock]

btw, no comic ever...EVER captured video games before. the special moves, the look of it...the story.

[aves_ives]

thanx dude. i should show you some of the new sharknife designs... i'm not having trouble making him look "cool", but i must find that perfect balance between COOL and ROCK N ROLL. that is an important aspect of Sharky. he's rock n' roll.

[violet_hemlock]

well, ya had that in the first one, with the fashion,,,sneaks,scarf...But he needs an updated look...

handle it brah...
