That should be a really cool pin-up to look forward to...Stan Sakai wrote:David Petersen and I have agreed to trade color pin-ups next year. I'll probably do an Usagi/Mouse Guard piece.
Speaking of pin-ups:
How does it work, if you don't mind being asked, with pin-ups?
You have had pin-ups (and miscellaneous covers) published in such a wide range of comics and by a really broad selection of publishers over the years. I just discovered and purchased a copy of The Dark convention book from Continüm Comics which includes a pin-up by you.
While it seems friendshps have a lot to do with it, how much does actual business (getting paid) play in the process? The original TMNT pinup you did back in the early 80's was sent in as "fan art", so you were not paid for it being published?
Some pin-ups, like the one in Ameoba Adventures, look like they might have been a convention drawing initially. Others, like the Varmints Special or the recent Tales of the TMNT are much more detailed.
Are you approached usually by other artists, or do the publishers or editors solicit your participation more often?
How has the situation/process changed over the years? You are better known in the industry now, but seem to contribute fewer pin-ups and miscellaneous covers. Does this mean that you are appoached more or less often, or just have less time to divert away from Usagi?
I read on another forum (Image Comics forum) where someone mentioned that it would be cool to see you do a Savage Dragon pin-up. Has Erik Larson ever appoached you with the idea?
Abayo....
, i found these pinup : what's this ?
