First I know I have been silent a LOT here lately, my new job is more challenging (but I love it) and I’m swamped, trying to get ready for 3 conventions (I have one next week). And since I never attended a con as an artist, I’m stressed big time!
Now, on a sad note regarding this strip, most of you probably know this, but all four male characters of this strip were originally based on real life friends. They were not my friends, only Over-Exaggerated version of them. Unfortunately, Martin, the real life version of Spike passed away this past weekend due to a tragic accident. For sure, I would never see Spike the same way anymore going forward, but I have to keep continuing doing it, as an homage to Martin May you rest in peace Martin.
- Antoine aka Billy
*salutes*
May he beat out Miss Winehouse on the heavenly race to the keg. Going to go out on a limb and say it’s full of Miller High Life. *snort*
well done, Antoine.
Sorry to hear you lost a friend Antoine. I’m sure Martin was a great guy. Glad to hear you’re pressing on. This comic is a great homage.
Sorry about your loss Antoine. Glad to hear you are pressing on. I’m sure Martin appreciates that fact. My comic is based on an idea my mom had many years ago. When she passed away, I just had to bring that world to life! In fact one of the main characters are named for her.
Looking forward to chatting with you at FanExpo!
Cheers to Martin. May he always have an open stool at heavens bar
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. That’s a great tribute to him.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Also, Amy is more of a wine & spirits gal, so I’m sure there’ll be plenty of beer for him.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend Antoine. I am also happy to hear about your new job being great.
I’ll be sure to tip a glass in his honor. My condolences.
hey first time stumbling across your site, and sorry to hear about your friend. My condolences go out to you and your family, he is a better place now =)
