Shiver and I have been collaborating on the same story for eight years this fall. Originally we started our first tale together in 2000, but after a couple years, we moved on to the current story which we call Link. Since we both graduated from undergrad, we’ve been a little less productive but we’re up to 5,793 drawings along with a few hundred stories set in this universe. The image posted above just reminded me to treasure this time. I’m more proud of this work than my college diploma.
Working together like this has been more than about world and character building, but about the friendship that evolves out of that creative process. I used to be a very jealous artist, but now I’m more concerned about sharing my abilities with another person and trying to make something productive and good. So this is just to say I am grateful. There is no else I’d rather have spent my time, energy, and creativity with better than her.
Thanks.
