It is a pleasure to hear from you, though I hope the ghoul did not cause you any distress. When I drew it I was well aware of the younger target audience age it was aimed at, but wanted to invoke not only the scene as I was asked to describe, yet a scary image that I could 'stand' when I was young. From the reaction ,over the years, I think [hope] I got it right.<br /><br />I hope you continue to be there and enjoying some of the stuff I get up too via my blog.Russ Nicholsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13842016621328698413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741473921839627038.post-46772462640973381272014-11-30T01:21:04.159+00:002014-11-30T01:21:04.159+00:00I am glad I found your blog Russ.

When I was little (I am now 35) my father used to live in a foreign country where English was used as a second language. One day he brought me a used copy of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain which he bought somewhere. I spoke little English then but I would still read (or should I say study) the book with a dictionary in my hand and my English improved as a result. If it wasn't for your illustrations in that book I am not sure I would have read it! Your picture of the ghoul will remain in my memory forever but I loved all of your art. I think your illustrations had an influence on my future hobbies and thereby on my whole life.<br /><br />I wish you much luck in your current work and I will happily read about it on here (or elsewhere), if you don't mind sharing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00177103233123834043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741473921839627038.post-46570932927102437642014-11-26T07:16:37.664+00:002014-11-26T07:16:37.664+00:00Nothing to add there Paul, except 1.

I'd loved to have had a longer chat with him, and to the others, but the busy day proved too much for all I suspect.<br /><br />Hell, this applies to all the artists there, as well as to the game publishers, and the dedicated FF fans that day who stopped to speak, but for most, due as much to time constraints, it was my signature added to others that was desired. As you're aware Emmanuel from past meetings I usually try to do more for those who want my signature, but except for one, if sleep deprived memory serves, it was not to be, and in truth a lot wanted to meet and greet others as a priority. I think everybody left happy and Jonathan should have been very pleasedRuss Nicholsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13842016621328698413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741473921839627038.post-70909723687662343872014-11-24T14:22:17.052+00:002014-11-24T14:22:17.052+00:00Jonas, I don't know whether to to be delighted...Jonas, I don't know whether to to be delighted or appalled now, but at the time I was delighted it was allowed by Puffin.

Is it published somewhere ??<br /> I wasn't to the convension and I really appreciate your feedback and your pictures... I imagine that your meeting other artists (especially Leo Hartas) should have been just great ! I just hope there will be an other convention next year and I will go for sure... and I hope it won't be so tiring this time...<br />Be sure that I'm always read your blog and watch your artwork with delight and looking forward to your next post, shame on me if I didn't recently give feedback... I have to say that I didn't find the way to be aware as soon as you publish a new post ... I look at your blog some times and see if there is something new... and I don't dare to add a comment if too many time passed ! Maybe it is the same for a lot of your followers ?<br />Well, the original Zagor created for the festival, even if slightly damaged, is not lost for everyone and stay a great piece of your artwork !

Is there not a Google group or something like that for recovering (gibbering?) FF artists? A union of sorts where you share your gripes and gibbers, and tips for survival. There should be. :)Calydonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612765326604027339noreply@blogger.com
