Congrats to Rick and Anjin! You deserve it!<br><br>I don't know what I'll think of the HB piece or whether I'll feel it's worthy of being published. It is possible I will agree with Mr. Sensitive. But I think that's not so important, everyone's entitled to their own opninions on art. It's hard to argue whether someone's art has value or merit or whatever. What I can say is some of how Rick got the pinup is through networking. Yes, he got the job because he talks to Scott and Mike. They know who he is. They know his love for Hellboy. And that's not a negative. That's how ALL professions go. Despite having spending some of his time alone in his room with a pen and a pad, like all of us, he also knows how to socialize and interact with other people very well. Most people think he's a "delight" to have as a moderator. People like to work with people they get along with. So Rick's interpersonal skills got him the chance Mr. Sensitive probably won't, since he's just proven that sometimes he lacks tact. In a serious way. Of course, once the door was open, Rick would have to have a high level of skill and talent to get in the book, so yeah he's a good artist. Whether he's better than Cameron, Kirby, Kirk Cameron, Toby, Toth, Carl Sagan, whoever, is up to an individual to decide. Personally, I'll decide after I see more of the puzzle pieces. <br><br>Oh, and I never said congrats on the Hawaiin Dick piece. Big up your chest, Rick <p></p><i></i>
