Highest!!!!,,,,

Sun Apr 19, 2009, 2:55 AM
I was beyond excited and happy to hear ( a few days ago ) from Geoff Johns that Green Lantern issue#39 was the highest selling single issue GL since issue 25... so I am guessing in the last on and a half to two years... how CRAZY is THAT?!?!?! O___O

And I cannot thank the whole team enough, especially Jonathan Glapion to stick through all kinds of insanity with deadlines ( and finicky penciller )... for me, no inker is better than him right now!

Other news from me... sorry I am really bad with coming up with a long essay of what I want to update... so I will write it down like a grocery list instead... XD

--- Spending waaay too much time on watercolor/acrylics and dangerously getting urges to buy oil, easels and more brushes.. ><
--- Took my fiancee's digi cam since she has not used it in 7+ months.. maybe I'll start taking pictures of references... hmmm... or make short videos... I'd like to eventually make the tutorial I promised someone here in DA XD
--- Preparing for San Diego Comicon.. too many things about it to worry about.. right now I need to take care of my hotel reservations since instead of Wednesday to Monday... they put us down from Tuesday to Sunday.. need to have that changed ... Already have one of my new prints ready!!! So excited!
--- Crazy crazy things happening with Green Lantern... man I wish I will have more opportunities to work with Geoff in the future! I LOVE LOVE LOVE his scripts/storytelling!!!! everytime I get the script I turn into a fanboy reading it in front of my computer... wrapping up issue 41 soon... SO SAD to think 42 will be my last GL issue... at least for now T___T
---Been learning a lot of stuff again from Whilce Portacio.. Whilce lives less than 5 minutes away from me... seriously thinking about maybe organizing some kind of artist meet locally XD But alas.. Whilce and myself will probably be the last to commit to any kind of set schedule -___-
---Did I mention that GL #39 was the highest selling GL issue since #25?! XD
---Already starting to talk and plan on my next project, saw the plot already... been chatting with the editor and hopefully going to sit down with the writer ( big hero of mine ) sometime soon to chat about planning the visuals of the book! The plot alone is already very VERY dense!!! This is going to be so much fun and challenging!

That's about it.. and.... GO BUY GREEN LANTERN ISSUE# 39!!! If you have not yet... issue #40 coming out soon!!!! Please support us!!! And much MUCH thanks to everyone who did! Get more people to check it out! : )

Congrats on the sales! :D Whilce is such a nice person and talented artist. Ran in to him a couple times and had a panel with him. If I was five minutes away from him, I'd give up sleep to watch him draw. With permission, of course. Not doing that stalker thing again.
:iconbakanekonei:
