I got a fancy large surface drafting table but found I just never used it as much as some cast-off old wooden bread board that was just right for almost all things (and totally portable). To be fair though the table was not the right height for me, it has these tv tray type legs that cross and when the top is tilted at an angle you probably had to be a tiny Japanese person or something. Anyone really small want to buy an almost new condition drafting table with giant t-square cheap? :^)

I did find other than a tv or stereo (and tea kettle), that having any books, letters and other stuff at hand would distract me, but I was mostly just inking/lettering for other people where there was a 'have to get this done and put in the hours' situation involved.

Maybe the Smithsonian might like a famous artist's ex-work area? Tax deductable! :^)

The “middle” one, on which I did all the X-MEN, FF and ALPHA FLIGHT issues (and the stuff around them) now resides in my basement.

Completely agree. The linework is beautiful, I hope somehow a pencil version is published of these pages. Preferably actual size, but something like DC's unwrapped books would work.

Once again, thanks for sharing! Everything is a bonus. Really happy that you have rediscovered so much creative juice and fingers crossed that all this storytelling goodness makes it into print.

JAHF! How FUN!!

Interesting to see how you’re approaching him these days. When you first drew him, he read more “muppet like” to me... he feels more real/believable in the drawing above (but he still feels like the same character). Nicely done!
