Wow, I want to add some cred factor to myself so I don't seem like a crazy fuck so i'll say i'm a rather serious collector of comic books (mainly old classics nothing supremely valuable, because i'm in it for the artwork) and honestly you are one of the few modern comic book artists whose art I just enjoy staring at. Your take on stylistic artwork (not to say it's simplified but boiled down to artistic essence) is very...nice. While there are many useless words i could have used that is the first word that came to mind. What i have seen of your comic art leaves a simple lingering feeling of it being great art. As I wrote in my rather opinionated essay on Jack Kirby " in this modern age,
mainstream 'scrap metal' comic books' focus on detail has subjugated artistic style as it is now considered
superfluous" you seem to be one of the few artists who has subverted the control of the mass media in a manner that isn't ridiculous or gaudy, you seem to do this by just allowing your artwork to be quite awe evoking.

Wow. Thanks! Seriously, that is one of the best compliments I have ever received. I really appreciate all of your kind words, and I hope my future artwork will result in the same reaction.
