Ravyns   LOL  Why never mind? I don't know if you'll ever read this, but...  No, I didn't get a chance to work with P. Craig Russell, but it was a timing issue. When my editor asked me who I'd like to see illustrate the MerlinRealm story I initially declined to name a particular artist, thinking I'd never get him. But the editor said it didn't matter if the artist wasn't available--he just wanted to know what art style I was envisioning for the story. I did, in fact, request P. Craig Russell, but he wasn't available because he had starting working on Elric for the same publisher--Pacific Comics. The editor found an artist with a similar style and storytelling sense.

I'm reprinting the original MerlinRealm stories via Kickstarter on February 1st. I'd love to have Mr. Russell contribute something to it, even if it's just a pinup. Project announcements will be available on facebook.com/MerlinRealm.
