Once again, thank you for all the encouragement.
Ted>> i am glad you like it, and I am so proud to be included in what is bound to become a classic book.

Sam>> watchoo talkin’ ’bout Sam?! that pinup of yours was one of those that made my knees knock together!

BKO>>maybe we could put our heads together and figure out the cure for IDEArrhea… Lot’s of fluids? Roughage?

Jamie, awesome!! I’ve never pegged you as one kind of an artist or another, just one that was good, really good. So it’s weird to hear you say you’re not good at “cool” drawings. And that recent post on Brian’s blog applies to you as well.
I love IDEArrhea!! I was asked to do a made up batman cover for an editor at DC. Well after 4 pages filled with about a hundred or so different ideas then 2 pages filled with narrowed down comps, well let’s just say I didn’t get the gig. Too much. Sometimes parameters are great, sometimes they are awful!!

Thanks for the kind words, Jamie!
Your pinup rocks and I’m very happy to have it in the new book. Your thumbnails were great too — any one of those would have made a great piece. Thanks man!

hah hah.. well thank you Roque… but I think it came out a little bit “stiff” which is mostly what happens when I try to draw something a little more realistic or dramatic. But at least we can both agree on the part about me being “crazy”.

While wrestling with this pic I had a bad case of what I call IDEArrhea; which is where you are deluged with so many ideas that you become paralyzed with indecision. Ultimately it is just as fatal as having no ideas at all…

Mr. Baker, you are both crazy and blind. This piece is definitely “cool” and I’d even go as far as saying it’s “friggin awesome”…
