Don't fret too much over this. The Jab Archives will be going up
shortly, and once it's back up, Des's site will once again be
available. James LaBella (who handles the site) is going to put out
a limited portfolio run, featuring artwork from several different
artists (check out www.jabarchives.com for more info).
The sales of the aforementioned portfolio will pay for the line
connection for the archives. I will be drawing the cover, and Des
will have a few pictures in the folio as well. I think Fatalis, Max
Blackrabbit, gNaw and Joe Randel (I hope I spelled that right!) will
also be in the folio.
Once Des's site is back up, you folks won't have to worry about
some company getting a hair up their ass and pulling the plug on a
site they deem offensive or troublesome. ALL of Des's art will be
there to view, as well as the art of many other great parody
artists. Des's "By The Tail" stuff will still be on Skunked.com,
though.
Hope this helps!
