My favorites:

New Illustration: Stage One

Actually more like Stage 2. I've made my thumbnails already, and this is the rough sketch. What will this chicken scratch become? Some clues after the jump.

Artistic Inspiration: Michael Golden

One of the first artists I noticed as having a very unique style was Michael Golden. He drew The Micronauts — a title I didn't start reading until later in the run, around issue 24 or 25. Hooked on the concept, I hunted down the back issues, finally picking up the illusive numbers 8 and 12 at Heroes Con back in the 80’s. Those first 12 issues, as told by Bill Mantlo and Golden, tell the saga of the first fall of Baron Karza, and they are awesome.
