Apparently he uses a size triple zero brush and works really really small. Also, word is that the Cursed Pirate Girl tpb is coming out around December. Which is great news since I just saw a fourth printing of issue one at my LCS. The most amazing thing about this illustration is that Bastian’s insane detail can make 9×13″ look so huge.

I had to smile at the "13 by 9" size, having seen some McCay originals at the Newark Museum (well, -a- Newark Museum, anyway). They're just plain huge. Even the book that prints the strips at original size is an order smaller than the pen and ink pieces. Which, incidentally, show no hesitation or sign of corrections, except for one that looks like he spilled the ink bottle on it and used some white paint to clean up. How I'd love to stand in front of Bastian's original and drift into that world. That’s gorgeous stuff.

Only McCay's architectural depth and range is lacking. The word balloons are just about perf!

"Excessive attachment or regard?" Doesn't look excessive to me. "The displacement of sexual arousal or gratification to a fetish." That's saying too much. And says more about the speaker than the artist. Fetishisticly? “Excessive attachment or regard?” Doesn’t look excessive to me.

“The displacement of sexual arousal or gratification to a fetish.”

That’s saying too much. And says more about the speaker than the artist.

Literally, I use a scrolling RSS feed ticker thing and all it took was those words (and a quick prayer to Kibo that it wouldn't be pr0ny) to get the click. So glad I did.

Unfortunately, his work is still a bit of a well kept secret instead of him getting the attention his fans feel he deserves. Jeremy’s Cursed Pirate Girl comic is AMAZING as well.

I always make it a point to go to his table when he is in the artist's alley. I got a nice drawing of a turtle from him a few years back. Nothing like this though.

Nice to see I'm not the only one who loves this stuff.
