Yesterday I really did have an epiphany! I was asking myself why I've had a problem moving forward with new pages of Due East for nearly seven months now…and finally, it all clicked: artistically, I'm happiest – and most myself – when I'm penciling! As much as I enjoy an inked and fully colored page of art, Due East needs to reflect all I can put into my pencils.
I want to thank JustNoPoint for his support as colorist and friend. JNP, I want you to know how deeply I appreciate your offer to color this whole issue.
You see, folks, this collaboration was supposed to help us crank out more pages of DE. But unfortunately, the opposite happened. Well, JNP held up his end of the deal. I just couldn't figure out – until now – why I'd had so much trouble holding up mine. But now I know.
I want to look forward from this point, however. I've talked with my wife about this and she's agreed. So, for the rest of this book and probably from now on, I'm going to draw the best finished pencils I'm capable of, with the help of the Lord.
I've half-sketched the next page and over the next few days, I should be able to finish the pencils, scan and letter it. I have more pages scripted, plus Angel and I have inspiration for the next several scenes.
I want to express our thanks to all of you – our incredible readers – for your support and love of Due East, for waiting patiently and for your kind words and sentiments. It is deeply rewarding to have your friendship and presence in commenting.
