OK, I think there may be a misunderstanding here, so let me try to clear this up just in case...if I'm wrong, then please ignore the following...

I'm not quite understanding Anthony's point, but if Darren's last comment was in reference to the sketch I did...I was looking at a JB drawing when I drew it.  I did it purposely...wasn't trying to pull one over on anyone.  It was a doodle just to loosen up before doing some work, nothing more.  I do that a lot.  If I'm trying to work out an issue or just exploring, such as drawing hands, a particular expression, a style of rendering...just practicing...but not when doing actual work.  Again, it's just a method of learning, by studying the methods and choices of the greats.

The name that editors have mentioned most often to me as a comparison is George Perez, not Byrne, not Jim Lee, not Neal Adams...and I take that as a great compliment due to his enormous success and popularity.  But its strange for me, because I've never sat down and actively studied his work, whereas I have studied the other guys I mentioned much more extensively. 

Glenn I certainly never meant to infer anything other than admiration for your work and of those whose work has it's roots in emmulating John. Thanks for clarifying that George is more of an influence and hope that I never caused any offence. I really like the artwork you have displayed here.

Too cerebral guys,
Me just am artist,me um like drawings that all.
Darren- i agree.
Glenn- i love your stuff, and dig when little bits of Byrne pop out
here and there. That's all i meant.
I once met Mr Byrne and was introduced by my then editor Paul
Kuppergerg ( the coolest editor in my book) as that guy that
drew like him, I introduced myself and he just said point
blank"Stop drawing like me.", at first i was taken aback but
realized he meant it in the most positive way, Byrne started
out( if i remember correctly) trying to draw like
Neal Adams until he realized he couldn't and developed his
style, you can see the Adams influence in his early work just
like you can see the Byrne influence in our work.
Just wanted to share that with you.
Well enough of that...more posting please.

I think I'm gonna stick to posting pictures ;-)

Nah, just bored.

No working on holidays is a rule i try to stick to so now i'm
watching dvds and sketching until the wife comes home.
I second that by the way, sometimes i'm afraid of replying for
fear of insulting people( though i never have intentionaly) and i
apologize tp Glen for any misunderstanding.
Though there isn't(right, Glen?).
Lets just stick to what we know best- POSTING ART!!
MAC
I want to see how many sketches i can dop while watching the
original Star Wars trilogy.
It is now 11:26 NYC time.
