Ohhhhh jesus.

Spike, I read Templar every time it updates... and re-read it. And re-read it. It's so... holy CRAP. Your art alone is unreal, and when I found you that you HAND LETTER your pages, wow. And the story and the THINGS. Christ.

Okay, that was the rabid fan talking, but long story short, I love your comic. Love it. Thank you SO much for the add, and keep up the astounding work. :)

[ Posted by IronSpike on Dec 31st, 2006 2:54 PM ]... Thanks a lot, izzy. I'm gonna try and update Templar three times a week in 2007, so you can expect more comics and my gruesome, untimely death very shortly...

Hey, Spike:

Found "Templar" I can't remember where, and immediately loved both it and your drawing style. It's fantastic. Congratulations.

[ Posted by IronSpike on Dec 31st, 2006 2:53 PM ]... Thank you very much! It should be updating thrice-weekly in the new year. Hopefully. (Oh God kill me.)

Glad to see you on here too, leaving us all in the dust. ::grins::

Love the characters in Sparkneedle - so expressive! Congrats to you and Matthew!

[ Posted by IronSpike on Dec 31st, 2006 2:43 PM ]... Thanks! I seriously do intend to finish it, one day. There's so much more to that world than what I've shown.

Very glad you found me. Bilkada is wonderful. I'm very much looking forward to reading all of your work.

I've been an admirer of your work for some time now, and in my opinion the sooner your work is respected in dead tree format the better!

[ Posted by IronSpike on Dec 30th, 2006 8:40 PM ]... I have totally been meaning to write you and tell you that I found out about a week ago that my high school Valedictorian drowned. Kind of like the high school Valedictorian in that minicomic you gave me at Wizard. Coincidence? I think not. Please draw my middle school band instructor choking to death on slugs. I require further proof of your powers.

I find it amazing that you were able to tell a story with no words and naked people with it being too offensive! I LOVE IT!!! Oh..Thanks for the add approval!

[ Posted by theplancomics on Dec 12th, 2006 8:45 PM ]...

Really like Sparkneedle. Who says comics aren't art? Really cool stuff.

[ Posted by nina on Dec 11th, 2006 4:13 PM ]...

CONFIRM

Especially when the characters are naked!

Are you available for commissions? I want you to do a sultry, scruffy homoerotic illustration of Channing, the butler from PINK FLAMINGOS for me.
