moving now....


...gaining momentum on Abe Sapien series.
After a few versions (the first was too human) of me trying to figure things out, here's one of the final versions of Abe that I'm pretty into for the series. This is more "my" Abe. Such a great character.

That...rocks. I like how you loose you keep your pencils. Must save you a lot of grief when you ink. I agree with the deolcliciano guy, I'm surprised that you'r not part of the "asfa" stable.

When is Abe due?

Barron is the nicest man alive. He's amazing, have learned tons from him. I have to love Kent cause he's my neighbor.... and one of my closest damn friends. Oh well.

Thanks so much, guys. Just so you know, In the middle of my doing Abe I will be drawing a HELLBOY comic that will be included in the new video game!!!!
As far as inking goes.... I prefer to barely pencil. The quill is SO much more organic and I'm more comfortable with it. Hell, I don't use a pencil in my sketchbook anymore;)

Hi Jason, I met you about a year ago when you came to SCAD. I tried emailing you from your site but couldn't get it to work, but i recently found this site. Your paintings are looking really good. i look forward to seeing your Abe stories. Do you know when it should be coming out?

Hey Jason,
So cool to see some of your recent work. We met at SDCC, here's a pic of us to jog your memory: SDCC 2006

I love the new Abe sketch, can't wait to get my hands on this book. I've been a fan for a long time now, and this Blog is awesome, keep updating. I especially love the studio shots, it's cool to see another artist's environment.

Sorry I didn't contact you sooner after SDCC, but here I am now. :)

Jason, what's the best email to reach you at? Is it the studiosection8 address. Let me know please, I have some cool ideas that I want to run by you.

Thanks!
_Bud

Abe has boobies! Just kidding... He looks great. Looking forward to the book. I like the slightly more vulnerable version you have here. Anyway, so yeah, I caved in and signed up for this thing to leave you comments. So, uh... hi. Give Kent a high five from me when you see him-
Jesse
