We Found Somebody Who Loves To Draw!

Posted on by

Those of you who were paying attention a couple of weeks ago might remember that I put out the call to find an artist for a book I’m working on with my pal Chad, and I’m happy to report that the position’s been filled!

As cliche as it might sound, I didn’t get any submissions that I didn’t like, but in the end, it came down to one guy, who–oddly enough–turned out to be local. So ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the newest member of Team Skiptracers, Jay Potts!

Here’s his first sketch of the guys:

 

 

After hanging out with him a couple of times and throwing ideas around, we realized that he’s brought something to the table that Chad and I never expected: He’s actually as excited about this thing as we are, and after seeing his thumbnails for the first few pages, I can confirm that it totally comes through in his art.

Again, I want to thank everybody who sent in art, as well as everyone who commented with interest in the project. Hopefully, I’ll have some more to report soon, because we’re all having a blast with this stuff.

  1. the art looks nice. hope you geet it out soon. i just found your blog and i must say that i love it. i just feel kinda bad that i won’t be able to suport your work when it comes out since i live in europe and in a country whith no comic stores. but if you put it on amazon.uk or ebay you got my money.

  2. Whoa! Lemmy’s hanging out with Kung Fu Jones, driving Starsky & Hutch’s car. This has intriguing written all OVER it!

    Cheers!

  6. Here is a question Sims…are you going to be at the NY comic con/ perhaps with a preview of this book?

  7. I’m assuming that the fact you’re watching Gone in 60 Seconds is not unrelated to this project…

    Nope, but Chad and I are going to be at HeroesCon this year, having fun and giving stuff away.

  10. Ah, crap. I was hoping that the strikeout HTML tag would work here for the word ‘Venture’. Please ignore my silly HTMLless previous post, or at least the part that says ‘Venture’. Or just pretend the word had a line through it, or whatever.
