I read your post with great interest, Shawntae. You are one of my
favorite artists, and I truly love your comic series. It was so cool
to learn that you thought of it so long ago. I spent a little time at
your table at AC 2001, when you received that package with the
original drawings of some of the later Extinctioners. I asked you
about the various spellings and questionable pronounciations of
Phenix. You were not only interested, you seemed almost eager in the
manner you spoke with me. I was very impressed that a celebrity such
as yourself was so personable. Guess I'm a bit too much a fan boy.
Hehe. :)
Guess this doesn't have a lot to do with the original topic, but
thought it might be a good way to relay my message since you seem to
monitor this site.
