[ Posted by BobAlmond on Jan 9th, 2009 11:07 AM ]... Thanks so very much, Mike! I'm wrapping up the last issue of Star Trek: The Last Generation in a couple of weeks. Then I only have to do a Sketch column, 7 months of tax receipts and prepping my taxbook, Inkwell Awards stuff to kick off 2009, website updates, 20 commissions, and yes, packing for NYCC! I'll see you there! I'll be the zoned-out, bewildered one;-) ~B~

I really enjoyed your column on inking, especially those great tips! I wouldn't have thought about half of those on my own. Thanks for sharing!

[ Posted by BobAlmond on Feb 22nd, 2008 5:45 PM ]... Thanks a bunch, Javier! I don't often hear from subscribers of SKETCH in regards to my "Inkblots" column and I'm fairly new at the whole columnist thing so I sometimes wonder how boring or idiotic I sound...always great to hear that some of you dig the shop talk. I try to juggle shop talk with my career experiences, with some history, and some visual stuff (something I've been asked to try to focus on). I have several columns that have been written up in advance to cover the whole year, especially now with the Inkwell Awards topic and subsequent results a couple of issues later. I try to be eclectic...please LMK what you think! Best, Bob Almond

From my post at Newsarama re: the passing of color artist Steph Peru:
http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=146444
Christ. I was still reeling from the passing of Steve Gerber last night and I wake up to this tragic news. I didn't know Steph well and only had limited email correspondence with him but he was truly kind and gracious. But I'm proud to say I collaborated with him during his all-too short career and for anyone who may've picked up the recent ANNIHILATION: CONQUEST VOL. 1 hc collection I think I can easily say that he did incredible, brilliant color work over what Mike Lilly and I rendered for the QUASAR series. We are certainly fortunate for our brief affiliation but I am sincerely crushed at witnessing this promising talent taken away so soon.
