I know it’s a little late for a last year’s reflection, but here goes.
My year of art was inconsistent, at least. I’d been very disappointed, but when I go back and think of what I was able to complete, when I was able to work, it’s not too bad.
I finished, in the last 12 months, give or take, 70 comic pages and/or covers, a whole months worth of daily sketch cards, 2 sketchbooks full of drawings and a couple of shows.
And by and large it’s some of my best work, to date.By no means my best, but battling through depression and everything, I’ll take it.
Phineus : Magician for Hire is the brainchild of creator Barry Linck. Phineus was created in 1987, of then a high school senior after reading too much of Matt Wagner's "Mage", too much Dungeon's and Dragon's and watching too much of John Carpenter's "Big trouble in LittleChina". Over the interviening years Phineus changed from angellic savior, to reluctant hero, to art student who finds he is a mage, until, in 1991, for a comic class at Edinboro University, he became part of a Husband and Wife paranormal investigations team, with Phineus' sidekick and wife Sara. Barry produced and self published from 1993 to the present 33 comics with our erstwhile heroes, garnering a small but rabid fan following.
