I'm always fond of kudos like this--more so from the person who's work inspired me in the first place.<br><br>Normally I try to capture the action and emotion of a piece of art. You illustrators can make it tough to translate a scene literally. I enjoyed figuring out how to write this one so close to the original.<br><br>Jasper is a character I'll be returning to in the future. Soon I hope. The good ones I like to let simmer a little after I first get them out there. I'll shoot you a note when I do.<br><br>If I can offer any reverse inspiration you'd most likely find it under one of these tags: pilgrim, solex, wasp, or maquette. The first three are the different thread of 'shanty' the last are overt character sketches.<br><br>Again thanks,<br>Douglaspalisade14Sat, 18 Oct 2008 22:48:10 -0000http://1000days.douglasblaine.com/20081006/introducing-jasper/#comment-3150827I really thank you for this. This made my day after you used my work for inspiration on this spectacular writing.DavidSat, 18 Oct 2008 18:46:02 -0000
