I was already a known quantity to you by the time the Larsen tracing Byrne thread came up.

Again, my exact words were, "Says the guy who learned to draw by tracing John Byrne comics." When would this learning have taken place? Last month? Last year? Five years ago? Those who chose to misinterpret what I wrote either have some personal beef against me, or a very basic problem with reading comprehension. Or perhaps both.

"Several people" = You, Weemie and the voices in his head.

And by that time you had already played your bait and switch game. First you claim to chase a gay man into traffic, later after you get some crap for it you retell it as a drug dealing gay prostitute you chased away from your community.

You claim people fight with you because we have a "personal beef" but they only thing they have to go on is your own words.

Sketchbook Sage, like Joe, I'm interested in the amount of purchases that you're getting from your commission work and Ebay auctions. I don't know if you feel like putting your foot into a hornets nest at this time, but, if you do...
Do you get more work/purchases from the auctions or your blog?

Which is more active, new commissions or selling already completed work?

Which is most popular, comics characters, D&D or showbiz celebs?

I know this thread is meant to market, not talk about the darned things, but we have a little artist community here at ComiCon that are interested in this kind of thing, including myself, so if you feel like responding it's much appreciated.

BTW, I really admire your tone ability which, I guess, is done with pencil? Very smooth and airbrush-like!

Thanks for getting us back on track, I'm easily distracted.

Wouldn't you rather know how much money you could make on ebay, by selling clip art skulls you played with in photoshop?

I'm guessing I won't get a response to either request.

And that my work looks like clip art, I take as a compliment, btw.

I'll get right on it. Do you remember the thread name?

Nope. Not trying to insult or compliment you, it is a clip art skull. I've seen enough of them in twenty-five years to know one when I see it.
