Well – we finally did it. We actually finished issue 1. What started out as just another random idea, finally became a reality – and it is definitely surreal… Actually following through with a creative idea beyond its conception feels so -damn – good. And now I am officially addicted…<\/p>\n

And again, HUGE thanks are due to\u00a0TIM JENSEN<\/b>\u00a0of\u00a0IAMTOMMYKNUCKLES.COM<\/a>! He decided to embark on this crazy adventure with me back in December and his pencils brought my words to life. Thanks are also due to\u00a0JIM CHEEVER\u00a0<\/b>who slapped the ink on the pencils and to\u00a0DEREK KIRTZIC\u00a0<\/b>for bringing us all together. I could go on on with the thank yous…my wife Brenda for dealing with all of the time I had to sacrifice to see this thing through – Justin Kim for all of those late night coloring tutorials – and all of YOU who are actually reading this!<\/p>\n
