This goes along with my original dislike, Meaning At least he's giving
credit to the artist that created the character, and still calling them Onyx
Natasha And Lori... Instead of say that they where his adding some obscure
detail and Calling them Xyno , Clori, and Shatasha.. Then taking the
original compliment of that "He's joining the ranks of the people who have
taken on the task of drawing the trio, e.g. Schwartz and Black Rabbit" and
misunderstanding it to mean he surpassed Blackrabbit etc... in Skill maybe
if he attends the amount of schooling BR put in or the time Jim has
dedicated... and is that good, then I won't say anything more... My example
of a person I don't want him to copy.... Mike Dazzo... the master of the I
am god of drawing so and so character no one is better then me.

That's fine I'll come across as how ever YOU or anyone else wants me to come
across as that's your decision, I can be the bad guy if you want... but I
didn't modify your creation and call it my own, then have the nerve to come
onto your group and begin posting it. That is how I feel, whether Jim says
anything about it or not.

Advertising? Is that all I'm suppose to be fighting to get this page up for?
Well damn if that's it maybe I should just drop the whole thing. The old Jab
Archives is dead, If your expecting anything to have J.A.B. attached to it,
you'll be disappointed.. Jab the artist is gone, he took up the decision
that the people who support him should HAVE to pay for anything he does, and
went and started a pay site after we kept the art up for 3 years after he
essentially disappeared... His response to me was that even though I got him
introduced to this form of Display and Supported it, advertised the hell out
of it and kept the page up at an immense cost, that I did nothing... Well so
far he's had to change his page 4 times... As of this point and as you may
have noticed, the Phrase Jab is merely used as what we're doing... jabbing
some fun at the characters/companies... And for name recognition. Enter the
new initials TJA... In 2005 also sparks the 10th anniversary of the page.
The artists who make the site, work with each other. We work
together to make it interactive and fun, not droll and expensive... The work
Jim has done in design and HTML will floor you, the work Desiree has done in
character development of Tabitha with floor you... Our work with
Play/Pentmouse will yield a ton of fun at the next few AC Conventions... I
will tell you this much I'd expect a whole lot more from the page then you
did before, all except size... Joe, Desiree, Sploot, Val, all the people who
make the page what it is will be involved unlike some of the previous
members. It will not be a dead page, Polls, Contests, Some Products for
support or just for fun, Conventions and a whole lot more. All I can say is
stay tuned... As for a period of time... We'll nothing's ever free or easy.
That's why you don't see a lot of pages of this style stick around.
Best wishes,
Your ever so Not making sense web master.
