This is the point where I really started to see a lot of my non comic influences bubbling to the surface...I still did this as sort of a hyper detailed nod to someone like Drew Struzan but it got to be this fine line I was walking between doing comic art and illustration.

American comics unfortunately aren't geared for that type of work because it's a periodical driven industry...stuff has got to move and get out every month.

That really sent my head in a million directions..I had finally developed things in my work that were working for me and not at all realistic for doing monthly comics...this didn't even take that long..but 5 days (or nights more specifically) just isn't going to cut it...that's only 6 pages a month.

I've worked through all the tough stuff and I think in the right hands.....an editor could get some solid regular comic work out of me.
