Doug
Look forward to seeing you at Wizard World Chicago. Are you going to have any Phantom artwork or prints for sale?

Thanks for the add! I had a chance recently to view the Phantom books you did, & I must admit, you have brought the character back from obscurity. Your work is awesome. Keep up the great job.

[ Posted by DKlauba on Jul 26th, 2007 1:56 PM ]... Thanks for noticing! I hated the fact that The Phantom had / has a limited audience and was hoping for the best for him!

[ Posted by Rafael_Kayanan on May 17th, 2007 5:01 PM ]...

Moonstone struck gold by getting you to illustrate the Phantom covers!

[ Posted by digitalmaniac on May 16th, 2007 5:55 PM ]...

Loved the Phantom covers. The Phantom is high on my list of favorites I used a similar pose from the Phantom Chronicles for an art piece I did for Comic Effect back in the 90s.

Incredible work, Doug!!!! Love your style!

TO: DKlauba.

RE: Your new Pulp gallery.

You, sir, are the worst kind of braggart. If you were any kind of good, you would--at least occasionally--post something that sucks, thus not seizing each and every opportunity to rub everyone's face in your talent

"oooh, look at me, I've spent years perfecting my artistic abilites..."

That's you. That's what you sound like. Good day, sir.

I said good day!

[ Posted by DKlauba on Mar 28th, 2007 1:22 PM ]... Okay... (?!) Was it something I said?

[ Posted by generaljackcosmo on Mar 28th, 2007 1:57 PM ]... I'm simply saying that it isn't nice to constantly rub people's noses in the fact that your work is so spectacular. Show-off. There is probably an entire generation of mediocre artists out there who are now suicidal having seen work produced at a level they will never attain. Every once in a while you should post some crap. That way, they'll think, "Hey, Klauba and I have something in common: I draw crap, he draws crap." Because right now they have nothing in common with you at all. So, to sum up, you need to start posting some crap...enough of this good stuff. The universe itself might hang in the balance.

"Can you get The Wanderers to get rid of John Mayer while you're at it? I hate John Mayer..."

He IS kind of a sissy little wuss, isn't he? And the worst part is, some women really get into that and then they expect us to be all wussy like that, too. I mean, I can be plenty romantic...if I didn't know how to treat a lady, I wouldn't have had the coolest girlfriend ever for the last three years...but don't ask me to be a whiny little momma's boy.

It's called Rock & Roll, John Mayer. Look it up.

I got curious about the Chicago Wizard Club after my visit, but I couldn't find very much about them on the Internet. Even Wikipedia was of little help. Huh. Looks like you're the proprietor of some very unique historical artifacts.
