Hi deDIKnight,
Damn, that´s really terrible, I can´t even imagine (and I don´t think I wanna try to
) how it must be for an artist to lose his eyesight, I´d quite probably kill myself.
My life IS my work, so I have nothing else to cling to if something like that ever happened to me.
I´m glad you´ve managed to turn it around, though, and I sincerelly hope that these first babysteps back into your previous artistic path will pay off with a major comback.
DarkHorse.... you´ve lived the dream, man.
I could never get them to be the slightest bit interested in my work.
Zeu

Awwwww
- Thanks man for those kind words - I wont pretend it NOT been a long, hard, road back
I've been blind for nearly ten years on and off - and even tho i can see with one eye - i still aint seeing too good
I just had to believe that I still had artistic ability regardless of sight and having a sculpture degree, I kept at the scuplture thru my blindness
Nothing fancy - just a Head sized ball of plasticine and worked on it day after day and thru touch built up my visual memory again
So theres ALWAYS hope and i dont give up easily - i just had to keep the faith
But I'm doing fine - I probably wont reach the standard you have here for at least another two or three years yet as basically i'm at 5th year high school
level just now
Lol and at 40 - I'm the oldest (if not the best) high school artist here - LMAO
Darkhorse wouldnt accept you?
Jeez theyre Standards must be up their ass - this is quality material and If I started a studio tomorrow
YOU would be hired
I have seen their work on the starwars comics that i was hired to do - and I'm telling you - youre a lot better than some of them
Your work reminds me of mix of several 2000AD artists I used to know quite well
Nigel Dobbyn, Bryan Talbot and a bit of Alan Davis "DR & Quinch" art among a few others
Listen...I'm going to be looking for a few people soon who can work with me on a couple of comic projects
One Horror...One "Superhero" (even the superhero one has Supernatural/SF overtones - set in futuristic china)
You interested?
PM me sometime and i'll give you my Email and IM adrresses
I got a better piece of art over at silver sable's thread now
Its painted art - computer painted - I can only draw with the PC these days
Its kinda reminiscent of the really crappy romance novels my wife reads
Lol
But I gave it a comicbook superhero/horror twist
Good to see you here man - there aint enough sequential art and yours is the best i've seen here for a while
