Correcting errors and giving credit where due

So I open up the new Jon Sable: Freelance trade paperback, Bloodtrail, and go look at the credits page. (Okay, first I checked some color corrections, and then I looked at the credits.)

The credits list me as the color artist, with special thanks to Lovern Kindierski.

Sadly, this isn’t quite right. Lovern colored 75% of the trade, I colored 25%. What happened was that I colored the last issue, and they used that to create the credits for the trade. We corrected it in galleys, but the original crept back in (as did other technical errors on those pages.)

So let me set the record straight here. Lovern did most of the work, I came in at the last minute to help with deadline problems. I followed in his footsteps. And boy, was it a challenge… he’s really good. And working over Mike Grell, no less. Our job was to try and recreate the quality of work in Longbow Hunters with an independent comic’s budget. And deadlines.

We did a good job. Check it out.
