Hmm. Any details you can divulge?

I have a horror novel I'm working on and I feel like it may have movie potential.

Erotica is not porn. It's adult reading and she has written some and it's on Amazon.

Or...is it an inside joke?

Fifty shades of Gray. And a little blue. And orange over there. And a vibrant purple.

No erotica isn't porn, except sometimes the way I write it. lol. But seriously, I'm working on a ...

How often will Jim's blog be updated? Will he get into covering his DarkHorse run?

Are there any film/tv comic based properties you would be interested in working on? Or franchises?

Any interest from IDW/Boom for a potential comic imprint with Jim and the old crew?

Jim doesn't have plans for ...

Any medium.

OMG. So Many. I could never list them all. N C Wyeth, Bernie Wrightson, Coop, Toulouse Lautrec...I'm blanking now. lol

You obviously have a strong relationship with the original Valiant (especially with Jim Shooter), but have you connected at all the with new guys running the boat?

Not really. I knew Dinesh before and I put him in touch with the folks who they acquired the properties from, but I don't have any ...

I still have to go with Solar 0. I love me some BWS.

Did Lorne Michaels ever visit the Broadway offices or develope/request any comic ideas there? Was he a big comic fan?

I remember one of the Marvel Team-Up (#74?) issues spotlighted the whole SNL cast from the JohnBelushi/GildaRadner era years. Lorne sounds like he might have been comic book fan ...

Oh yeah! My life is way better than any porn I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot. lol.

JayJay - Do you still have the OA of the art? You should make prints of this. Seriously.

The variety on here is truly astounding!

I do like to try different styles and techniques. I have a kind of art ADD.

Did Plasm goo ever exist as a prototype from the toy manufacturer (Mattel?) or any action figures proposed? Cartoon series planned?

Was "Splatterbattle" an idea for a potential crossover or a planned video game?

I am sure I got lots of Defiant/Broadway signed stuff from Jim and JJ... all you ...

What was it like to work with Kevin Smith in Chasing Amy?

Dude! Kevin Smith is as awesome as you might imagine. I wish I could have spent more time talking to him, but making a film is no joke. That guy was BUSY. I loved working as an extra on that film. I was with some good friends, I met some ...

Jim did a sketch for it after many days of trying to come up with something. I took it and refined it. I love it, too!

There was a very rough prototype if I remember correctly. Nothing much, but the ...

Speaking of working in the same room, Jim said that the Marvel 'Bullpen' was largely a myth, but that the real thing went on at Valiant (Knob Row). Were you considered a part of that group, or was it just the more junior creators?

I want to link to some photos but they are on Facebook. I'm not ...

I think Knob Row was in actuality what people thought the Marvel ...

When you were at Broadway, did you have free access to attend any of the Saturday Night Live tapings or meet some of the cast?

We did! But not because we were us. lol. Jim got Broadway Video to allow us to invite Steve Geppi and his wife to an SNL taping. I went with them. We were fortunate ...

eschnit wrote:You from H-town?

I was born in San Antonio, went to high school in Boerne, Texas and moved to Houston to further my art career. I did illustrations, maps and graphic design for the oil industry and later for a couple of Houston ad agencies.

I dunno if this has been asked. Jim mentioned you did the colors on Harbinger one cover, and he spoke specifically about that wonderful 'explosion' happening behind the characters. Is there much of a story to that cover? Jim said he did an original take on it that then Dave Lapham and you took over ...

AND ANOTHER THING... can you briefly tell us the story of Bo Blayton for those that don't know?!

Bob? What story do you mean?

Something about being in the South and looking like New Yorkers.... and one of the local yokels called him Bo Blayton, which Bo makes sense as a name in the south...

I ...

Hello JJ , thanks so much for popping in :clap:

How and where did you meet Jim ?

My friends put on a comic con in Houston. I was helping out with various things and working as a security person. Nothing like a cute girl to back down a belligerent fan, they figured. And I'm a Texas gal, so some ...
