i just noticed that sometimes your spelling and grammar seems perfect on this message board, but at other times is...horrible. when you (DM) write messages to people on this board, do you purposely misspell certain words depending on the person you write the message to? and if so, what is the significance of this?

There was a study done recently, I forget where, that as long as the first and last letters in a sentence were in correct order, it doesn't matter how one spells the words.

Hello again,
Thanks for posting the links to your art!
I checked out your art links and I really like your work!
It has a lot of life to it and I enjoy the different media you used. You have a very natural way of doing things that I try to have in my own approach.

I appreciate how you explained the process part of your post. The noun vs verb part. The object relation ship to the action of the object. I've always thought that people put too much emphasis on the noun and not enough on the verb. For instance, I've always thought of myself as a verb. Not a noun. I'm not really about having or getting, but about being and doing.

As for art:
I do make some of it for sale. Most of the art I have for sale now is currently in an art gallery. And it looks like it will be a traveling art show. But I have some that I present for sale at conventions as well. Generally, black and white pages start at 100 and the painted interior pages start at 500 and can range up to1500 depending on the page. Anh Tran at takes care of all the art sales for me. She already has most of it marked and people can mention a page they are interested in and she tells them if it is still available and what the price is.

I saw that you posted on the Bendis board as well! Thanks for the kind words and the support of my work there. I've been posting a little there lately as well. It is a fun board. Like this one! I think I have the smartest readers!

Best,
David

I don't know when it has been updated, but you can always send inquiries to Anh Tran:

And thanks for posting this, Klaus.

Juse e-mail Anh and mention what you are looking for.

the story is very nice and I just think watercolor is sure a great media to focus on in comics, instead of photoshop. feels so alive! I hope you do the DD books from now on.

After DD 55 ships in December the new Kabuki series is scheduled to begin in January. Then I am writing and painting the new Kabuki book for the foreseeable near future.

Best,
DM
