Sweet Anticipation

This is like waiting for Christmas to come.

That period leading up to the publication of the piece one spent so much time and labor on feels like unwrapping a brightly colored package on Christmas morning. I’ve already experienced it 31 times over as I opened the emailed j-pegs from colorist Lovern Kindzierski of the 30 individual pages plus the cover.

Then there’s the last minute shopping: prepping the artwork to provide the endpaper image and producing the montage image for the back cover.

Last minute details.
