Re: Mr. Mack, how do you and Bendis know eachother
Posted By: MACK! In Response To: Mr. Mack, how do
you and Bendis know eachother? (Michael) : Gotta say.. I love your Kabuki stories, I'll admit.. I : Michael
Hey thanks for following my/our work. Here's something funny that you may not know: When I was writing the first
Kabuki story in 1993, I was not interested in drawing or doing the art. I just
wanted to be the writer. Eventually I decided that I'd need to learn to draw it myself in order for
the art to fit the organic and unconvential quality of my ridicualous script. So
I had to figure out the art stuff on my own. But it sort of cracks me up to see
these early Kabuki pages by Bendis. Especially since I'm now painting a DD story
that he wrote.

: bought the
trade paper back of Circle of Blood because
: of the cover... and boy did I
luck out... I also love
: the way you colored (watercolors?) the covers to
DD.
: Well what I'm getting at is well I started following
: your work
and Brian Michael Bendis' work religouslly
: around the same time... then I
read an article or
: something saying you two were long time friends.. I
: was just wondering how you two know eachother. thanks
: for your time
Brian and I met at the Chicago con
over eight years ago and have been each other's best friends in the industry
ever since. We've sort of learned a lot from each other and critique each others
ideas and work long before they get published. We have different enough
perspectives that it is a big help having another unique POV on your initial
plans.
I actually asked Bendis to Draw Kabuki and he was
going to. So I have these early Kabuki drawings that Bendis did.
