Things have been pretty smooth behind the scenes of The Switch the last couple of weeks. Tom seems to be done with his mad burst of travel/convention activity and settled back into the groove and Robb is doing a great job coloring the stuff as it comes in. So, you know, knock on wood it's all smooth sailing until the end of this mofo. I don't really know how much Tom has left to draw; he works on large batches of pages simultaneously because of creative ADD then narrows down and finishes them one at a time. So I just enjoy the stuff when it comes across my desk.
This week, in Switch related news, I had lunch with backer supreme Matt DeAngelis. Matt picked up one of the character rewards so you'll soon come to know him better as The Transient. I know him as my childhood best friend before we ended up going to different high schools. Lunch was the first time we've seen each other in about 32 years and it was really enjoyable to catch up and get a bead on who we grew up to be. Matt's a helluva runner and I was a pretty solidly mediocre runner before I broke my leg last summer so in an alternate reality where I'm injury free, we probably would have grinded out some miles before lunch. There's no better friends than old friends, they're the ones who most understand where we come from and I'm glad to pick up and resume that friendship all these years later.
It was also fun to give Matt his art reward in person, he had picked up a Green Lantern Corp splash page from an issue I wrote. Keep it safe, pal! And if any other Switch backers want to grab lunch with me, just drop a line while you're in CT.
Anyway, enough rambling. Here's a couple of sneak peeks of Tom and Robb's work. I might try to get Robb to jump in and do a blog update for next week so keep your fingers crossed. Maybe we'll all get a fresh perspective here for once.
Never has being beat to hell looked so gratifying!
Some of Robb's beautiful color work!
See everyone next week! Thanks as always for your support!
