[ greyweed ] -- and the bored shall inherit the earth...

I've been looking through my email archives and saw this one sent by Michael Sutton, the Publicity/A&R Manager of Know-It-All Records, an indie label based in Tacoma, Washington.


This page is very cool:http://www.pbase.com/image/21659981

Luis, is Bill Sienkiewicz one of your influences? Thepanel arrangement and style here reminds me of Bill Sienkiewicz, especially his work on "Elektra" and "Stray Toasters." You're good, man! You want to collaborate on a comic-book story? Mondo knows my writing style. I see traces of Sienkiewicz, Case, and McKean in your art! Awesome!!! I was a staff writer for the legendary "Amazing Heroes" magazine in the late '80s-early '90s. They were the true voice of comicdom before "Wizard" sadly put them out of business.


...he then sent a follow-up email containing...


And maybe a little bit of Howard Chaykin, too :)

...and another email came....


Luis, that's awesome! Can you draw comic-book pages - you know, panel narrative? Perhaps we can collaborate on a project? I've been looking for an illustrator to draw my scripts. You draw really well, very surrealistic! I'm reminded of Richard Case during Grant Morrison's run on "Doom Patrol" and a little bit of Dave McKean, too!
