Is That It? Am I done?


So I finished up the art for the Angel annual on Tuesday; bittersweet.
On one hand it's probably the best comicbook I've ever had the good fortune to be involved in, but on the other... It's quite probably my last work in the Angelverse. I've been working on Angel books of one form or another for the last two and a half years, and I've loved every minute of it. I remember lobbying Chris for weeks for a shot on the upcoming official continuation of the show, the story that turned out to be 'After The Fall'. What a time to get to play with Joss' toys, and on stories of such quality written by Brian.
Sigh... great times, but I'm ready for a change. Thanks so much to anybody who picked up the various books, and a HUGE thanks to Chris 'I'm two-sevenths Irish you know' Ryall and to the man, Brian 'I'll see you in hell, hopefully once a year' Lynch.
Hopefully I'll still get to contribute a cover here and there, but other than that,
I'm out.

Is it the comic versions of The Burbs? Because if it is I'll definitely subscribe!

Well that's sad.

Don't get me wrong, I think comic series need variety, but I wouldn't mind seeing you working on Angel again.

Good luck in your future career.

Thanks Skytteflickan, and cheers for all the support over the last few years!

Wait a minute, you'll be working on One Bad Mother!

So I'll see/read you again.

star wars,
serenity/firefly,
indiana jones,
judge dredd or
dave dormans 'wasted lands' universe.
any of them would do for me.

Stephen Mooney said...

There has to be more work in the jossverse for you - maybe not now or even next year - but this can't be the end.

You are my favourite artist. If you ever get to the West Coast of Canada (or even the US), let us know.
