OK, what would you like to know? (I could type my whole life story, but it wouldn't make for a very interesting read...and I don't want to chase anyone away just yet.)  |

1.) First title I really loved was ASM (first back issue I ever paid a premium for was ASM 252...$8 back in '85). I still LOVE that era of ASM, though I haven't read 'em in quite some time...I should go back and reread 238-275...and then 298-325, as I also loved the McFarlane run. I read comics all through high school, then left the hobby around '92 or '93...after the speculator craze ruined everything. Only found my way back to comics after the first X-Men movie...and started by chasing down the whole Clairemont/Cockrum and Clairemont/Byrne run, and then I put together a run of ASM, as I needed a challenge...even had a nice CGC 7.0 AF 15. My grand plan was to read the whole run, but I just couldn't get into the early issues. I love Ditko's art, but the story was kinda lame IMO. They were pretty to look at, but really just sat in a box in the closet...so I sold 'em all, used the money to build a nice EC New Trend collection...and although I enjoyed reading them a bit more, they still just sat in the closet. I kept the one issue with my favorite cover, but sold the rest and started buying art. Now I still read a lot of comics, but mostly non-superhero books (Vertigo and the like). And I'm no longer concerned with condition. I still take care of 'em, but it's cool if they're just VF or whatever. First and foremost they are art catalogs, then then are entertaining stories. I no longer think of them as collectibles. (Sorry for the long answer).
2.) Actually, that just kind of happened in a very random series of events. Long story short, a friend put me in touch with him, just a few months after I started my website. It was certainly a very fortuitous turn of events, and he's a great person to work with, as is everyone in his studio.
3.) Part of it's that I'm not a big fan of working for corporate America, so I tend to gravitate towards entrepreneurial/self-employment endeavors whenever they present themselves. As for repping artists, a friend of mine is also in the business, and it just always seemed like a great opportunity to do my own thing while becoming even more involved in the hobby I love so much. Sometimes I end up putting in some pretty long hours between this and my "real job"...but it doesn't feel like it, since I enjoy what I'm doing. |

Damn that is awesome. I definitely agree with you on working for the man. I myself work in retail and play music on the side as well as writing. But I'm trying to work things out where I can make a living in music and writing, but both are tough to do. So I give ya props man for making it work like you do. Can you recommend any other good sites as far as artists go?
I'm usually at CAC, Comic Art Fans,Al Rio, Alex Miranda,Glasshouse, ComicConArt, Deviant Art and of course here. |

I don't know, I usually just google whoever I'm looking for, and you've listed a lot of the more popular sites. If you like James Jean, I'd recommend www.jjeanius.net, but then again, I'm partial, since that's my site. He can also be found at jamesjean.com and processrecess.com
And I also frequent the comic art message boards at cgccomics.com...there's a lot of good info over there.
Anyone else have any suggestions? |

It is a good artical and helpful for me to read it.
There is a short story as follows:
Two
Soon after, I Piancong health school graduates assigned to the district hospital for a nurse, then I have known Lei Zheng.
Lei Zheng is our hospital interns, home in the rural areas, no background, the work is the time to stay or is the problem. Perhaps because the winter is too cold, and we all need each other warm, so they naturally go together. After the end of internship, Lei Zheng smooth stay, I did run.
In the spring, I and the Lei Zheng cohabitation. We work together to work together buy vegetables for cooking, began Chaimiyouyan to live. In fact, I do not know that we have between love, Lei Zheng never said I love, I have not said that love him, but I know he can bring me warm, then me, this warm Had enough.
We have gone together five years, five years is not too long a time is not short, this time I do a promotion nurse, and Lei Zheng has resigned sea, opened a decoration company that I came up with a 10 10,000 of the money for his registration. All these years together, Lei Zheng seems to have grown used to spend my money, and I think does not matter, after all, he is my wife and I are in this world's only relatives. This time, I have completely lost their parents from the grief go out and the warmth that point I could not have been met, I began to desire a solid sense of security, but it has never mentioned marriage Lei Zheng, and I do not like to use is Hysterical woman to achieve the objective.
Time flies more insipid, we have not married but has been a Laofulaoqi feeling.
Three
Not sure what time from the network from Lei Zheng obsessed day, a home study, go online, I know he was chatting with the girls, but not worried, I always think that the illusion that things simply can not Destruction of real life, after all, we have been together five years, even without the passion in the habit of at least inside, so I never thought that one day I will leave Lei Zheng.
Some friends advised me: "sail on, the other Taida Yi, in fact, some emotional crises are often too much trust in each other's time." I just listened to Xiaoxiao noncommittal.
Facts have proved that if a friend is correct, because Lei Zheng finally a showdown to me: "sail on, we Fenshou Ba! Xiaowan I told her to get married, I have promised." Leng, where half a day I did not say a word, I He is aware of the Xiaowan Nvwang You, I just do not understand, we had five years together he never mentioned to get married, and now have to understand just a few months the girls get married, suddenly, I feel A very humorous. He did not say what, and even a "sorry" are not, then get up began to clear up luggage.
5, the feelings I have thus concluded, as do a dream. Zheng Leishi leave soon, did not put me out of the house we live sold, although the house in his name, but the money was buy a house I have a half, but now he has to put Yishengbuxiang house sold This selfish man but also the breaking up, I did not forget to take the final sum of money.
Four
Time to slowly heal the pain of my heart, a year later, the home经人介绍I know that.
Jia-ming of the conditions are not very good, he is a soldier, home in remote mountain areas of poverty, but at home there is a frail and sick old mother and a sister just high school, he was in the armed forces, through their own efforts to enter the military academy. First met, I told him the general feeling is: black, high greatly, not handsome look, but after the first lesson, for the love I have a lot of reality, so in the side after we have seen Start contacts.
Get along, I found that the family is in fact a very careful man, is to the change of dynasties, they call reminded me more clothes, fine to me if only Daliaogeti spray, he would tense in the various A variety of cold medicines to buy back…… tell the truth, since his father after the death of her mother, never one to me so much, even with a full and Lei Zheng five years, he has not been so carefully to me .
All the re-start, and finally one day I suddenly discovered that they have hearts of ice in knowing it was the home of a melting warmth.
Five
We have gone with one year's time, one day home that his mother suddenly told me to take over, a few days ago that his sister received the call that her mother's heart is committed, because the elderly afraid to spend money on the Yingcheng Not a hospital, the only lot to eat, "Suxiao Jiuxin pill," Jia said to me that these remarks when Yanquan red.
Then her mother that the family will soon take over, in our hospital system checks. After examination, the doctor told the family: his mother's heart is already very serious, immediate need for valves, valve surgery, together with the costs of almost 20 million yuan, if not the surgery, his mother perhaps only a few months The time. That moment, I see the eyes of the family that has become desperate, sitting in a chair for a long time did not say a word…… I know that over 20 million fee for the operation of a poor soldier, is undoubtedly an astronomical figure, even if This small Ban Beizi not necessarily to be derived from the. But let him see the Hanxinruku outsourced rearing their mother in this way because of the inability of their own and died, also must be very painful. During that time, I often see that the family of a person secretly secretly tears.
To tell the truth, I have the hands of the deposits 300,000, although the thought had to come up with the mother at home that surgery, but the thought of five years with Lei Zheng's feelings, but in the end their two-person space, Pianyou Hesitate, I really can not easily put in a further. As I like to think of the former after hesitation, Jia-ming's mother, and again in the hospital, the doctor ultimately failed to restore her life.
Funeral I cried very sad, perhaps because of guilt may also regret it.
Six
Jia-ming after the death of her mother, all restored to normal soon, tomorrow or the home as usual for me, but I do not know why, I always feel the hearts of Yin Yin unrest.
Two years later, his sister, also admitted to the university, and the Ma family is facing the displaced, we have natural feelings, he has promised to change jobs after I left, so they decided to get married. During that time we will soon get married like all the young people, busy shopping to buy things, cleaning new house layout, although very tired but feel very happy. Why can not, God always seems to be deliberately Zhuonong I, on the day before the wedding, the family has no intention of going to see 300,000 of the books, but in vain clearly written into the above date in the past four years, At that time, he was only Zhengzheng to see me, then saying that they are not turned away.
That day I did not go home tomorrow, because it has let me have nothing to say, he did not come to see me, even if it is to ask me, but not, perhaps he is, I think that the money, he does not have the right to ask me out His mother surgery, but he could not accept his wife, clearly have the ability to save his mother but stand idly by.
When I asked him again when his comrades tell my family that has been displaced back to their old home in a few days ago.
I am happy once again with Cajianerguo.
I do not understand, I am happy with the money in the possession of the total can not maintain a balance, and always left one in a right, when I seize the money, but lost happiness, when I have happiness, but money is so heavy.

It is a good artical and helpful for me to read it.
There is a short story as follows:
I see that the hard way, his wife said, or the time I relaxed, let me Paoba. Thus, the entire weekend, so his wife in the vehicle to bump and forth over the past 10 hours. More than 10 yuan every Saturday Qianhai fare is not a major event, two car down, physically and mentally tired, to a few days of rest. No one complained to his wife, is more understanding.
His wife pregnant during this period of time, the doctor said that her high blood pressure, have to pay attention to rest. I assume this "bad run" task. The doctor said, a pregnant high blood pressure regularly to the hospital for examination, preferably once a week. Originally, I should always check the Peita Qu hospital, but a lot of time because the school events, I can not get to her a few weeks there, so she is a person Tingzhao Dadu Zi ride to the hospital. She thought a crowded bus, one on the stairs, now I am very Houpa. Tingzhuo often seen in the streets of the big belly women have a strong hand holding her husband and his wife, her only one Zhizhu doing, I feel that they owed it to his wife Kui too much.
Because my hometown in Jiangxi Province, taking into account the children when no one care, we finally decided to return home or have children properly. 8-month pregnant wife and long-distance car ride to go home, originally thought that the Y back to his home city to buy votes in the sleeper, but the Y City, home to the only the only train trip, but simply on the sleeper can not buy votes. We had to buy Nanchang, the first sub-sleeper cars. December 25, 2004 just snow, a train to Nam Cheong is 5:00, a point that I think this is the most I have experienced a cold morning. In the cold morning in the home, such as cars, think about sitting still more than four hours of the bus to go home, I was really cry, but I also Kubuchulai how, I can only under the umbrella firmly in the grip His wife live hand厖
Listening to a friend said: production of women most in need of courage, in particular the need for a people who love her most in fertility before and after holding her hand tightly. However, I did not.
On one occasion, his wife asked me: I am old and Bianchou, you will always hold my hand? ?
I said: Yes, always!
His wife quietly told me: As long as I was lying in the hands of your big thick palms, a warm and sweet feeling will Youranersheng厖
My present, each time to see his wife, the first thing is to hold her Wencun hands, I want my warm and sweet pass to her without reservation. His wife that his hands, whether in future years is how old, stricken years, it will bloom in my palm is the most beautiful flower!

It is a good artical and helpful for me to read it.
There is a short story as follows:
He smiled and asked me yesterday how he would use the word terrible, I said yes, absolutely yes, terrible. Some remember that moment I feel that I should immediately be immediate men Bifeng, and he was still Qidingshenxian, a relentlessly one of my pieces of armor were unloaded. The front of men, I do not see him I can have the slightest compassion. He is a gentleman and carefully, travel back Hui Laijie I eat, I would say that the voice heard is very happy and excited, careful retrospect, this way, he has done Dishuibulou everywhere for their stay in the posterior foot. To understand that he is ready to retreat, I却把themselves exposed at gunpoint, the former no place and no retreat. All seemed from the start gradually deviated from the track. I like all the efforts punched into the air, Quanquan come to nothing, and powerless.
, Said he did not have the time, he did not have time to go on a small girlfriend, and then spent a few years time she grow up, he did not have the time. I know that he said was right, because I also do not have the time to try a man is not really suitable for me, and so found not suitable for the再换. But this clearly heard him say, heart or cool down a little bit. With him that there are now not afraid of the gap, or not enough now to understand. Is simply not afraid of the time I asked him to see a good, all is a foregone conclusion. Afraid of that, in what before that, all too late already. No longer have the desire to speak, he said, "is not saying that you are nothing, I have only themselves to what is very clear, and you are恨铁不成钢, you do not know what it means in the end understand恨铁不成钢»! "I Do not want to speak. What do not want to say. Now this, I can see that all the shortcomings of my own, proud of my Siyaomianzai. But he did not leave any Qingmian, indeed despair. I have always said that I'd like to find a more proud of more than own men, or "governance" I can not. But really met, I only know that torture is a test of the matter. I also like to return to the interview in Beijing at the moment, faced with a ready to find fault with me, I am ready to find the loopholes illnesses shortcomings of the examiners, although no matter how self-confidence, momentum has been lost the first half.
Dr. appear to be a person of very deep water. He has too much too calm too mature to control the situation, I am at a loss. Perhaps only now can be avoided is that one day when forced to retreat, but also Quanshenertui, rather than Diukuiqijia, Luohuangertao. I think, since no retreat, invisible direction, I can only move forward by this.
Curiosity can kill a cat.
Dr. today and I bid farewell to the face, I think that curiosity can actually kill people. Perhaps, this time, is totally wrong, in front of him, how can play small tricks. When his face expressionless and said he would like to my intuition, I smell the smell of defeat.一败涂地. However, the already too late.
To start work tomorrow, might not a good thing. Only in the work of the state, I feel that they are safe, is able to control the situation.
I will climb up and take off again.
