Thanks for adding me, Rafael! I love your Conan work.

Thanks for adding me! Loved your latest work on Conan - and still remember your work on Turok back in the Acclaim days. Man, that was great stuff!

All the best!

Saw the preview pages of your new Conan work -- Great stuff, Rafael! -- and very different from your earlier Conan work. There aren't any comics shops around here, but I'll be tracking down your issue(s?) during conventions.

Your Dante gallery is fascinating. Trying to give Dore some competition?

RE: Fight Choreography
Hi Raphael! Awesome choreographies, man! I love martial arts, and practised Karate Goju-Ryu for almost 20 years.

[ Posted by Rafael_Kayanan on Feb 18th, 2007 10:26 AM ]... Thanks Ray - I won't make this year's NYCC due to other commitments. I got my Javits fix this week with Toy Fair (and the snow storm) so perhaps I'll switch it around for next year.
