So, the last 9 months have sucked to say the least. My father got sick and eventually passed. I had a number of illnesses and eventually a heart attack. My beloved wife Chrissie just passed away 3 weeks ago.
I haven’t been able to muster any kind of artistic mojo through all this. I have pencilled a couple pages and a few sketches, but nothing lasting.
I went to DJ Coffman’s Drawn Together drink and draw last night, in the hopes of kick starting my artistic drive. It was fun, I drew, we talked and we commiserated. I’m going to try and draw more and get back to creating. It’s NOT easy, especially after losing Chrissie, but I’m gonna try.
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.
