It slipped my mind to offer condolences the other night when I ran into you and Ian, so I'll offer them now. I'm truly sorry for the loss of your friend, and that you had to deal with it at such a trying time. I know Dr. Who is a dream project for you, but I really wish you had been able to take some much deserved time off before jumping into it. I would have stopped you if I could have.<BR/>For what it's worth, I can relate to everything you've written in this post INTIMATELY. My mother passed away two years ago, and I feel a deep sense of regret that I not only did not dump as much career responsibilities as I could the last year of her life, I actually redoubled my efforts (This was partly because I wanted her to see me get as much work published as possible before she was gone). After she passed away, I just could not see anything relevant about connecting all these little drawing in boxes anymore (and in many ways still don't). Following my return to Vancouver, I had to immediately jump into a new, high pressure gig at an animation studio in a near catatonic state. I quit shortly thereafter, and it was definitely the wisest thing to have done. I applaud your decision to give yourself some time to breathe and reflect. The book and the industry (presumably) will still be there when you get back. Regardless of what the future brings, your talent will not be denied. I can assure of one thing: for whatever it's cost you, Y is a very important work in the medium's history. At the end of the day, you have proven yourself not just to be a hell of an artist, but one that enriches our culture.<BR/>For what it's worth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260110.post-52989790380714370972008-09-17T12:35:00.000-07:002008-09-17T12:35:00.000-07:00Peace.
