I’m amazed I’ve never seen this site before so let me just say that I’m extremely happy I have. J.H., you are one of my top favorite modern artists and I’ve been following your work for a very long time. Your art has been an incredible inspiration to me, especially in my pursuit to become a comic artist, so I really wanted to thank you for being consistently amazing. I feel you’ve truly changed the way comics can be illustrated. I’m anxious to see whatever else you have coming out. Especially your Jonah Hex issue, your next Batman project, and your project with Grant! Take care!

thanks for the all of kind words from everyone. i’m about to start my next project but i’m not sure when official announcements will be made since the series won’t launch until sometime next year. it is bat related but NOT a return to detective. grant and i are still planning to work more together on a creator owned project which will start after my current bat related project. more info on all of this when the time is right.

Hey Jim! Your dedication to your work and putting in the extra hours to get Batman out in a timely manner is very inspiring. Thank you for that.

BTW, your work on Batman has thus far been amazing–the linework and the layouts have been nothing short of beautiful. I just hope you get to work with Grant again soon after this story. It’s just magic when you guys collaborate.

Sorry about the stress, but I think its definitely not showing in your work. Batman is phenomenal; I recommend it to everybody. Hmm tho, who could that late artist before you be… But the International Batmen all drawn in the Ed McGuiness and Howard Chayken etc. styles, thats so brillaint. Keep doing something different.

I met you at Comic Con if you remember, and I took a picture with you and Grant, and it was rather amazing.

The Other Side, definitely an important unique and beautifully different kind of war comic.

keep drawing, I’ll pay attention

Good lord. That sucks. Get some rest Jim.
I knew you were busy but that is crazy.
Love to you and Wendy.
On a music note: I could listen to GSYBE: “lift your skinny fists…” every day and not get tired of it. Love that album.

Jim, I hope you get some time off soon for some R & R for yourself and Wendy. I can only imagine how frustrating it is for you to work under so much pressure due to circumstances beyond your control especially since I know you have a really good work ethic and always push yourself to go the extra distance with your art. I worry that what happened to Gene Day (Marvel artist extraordianaire on Shang Chi Master of Kung Fu) will happen to you. I hope that the company and people you’re working with get their shite together so that you don’t always have to pick things up on the ass end. It’s sad that there are a number of people in this industry that don’t take their deadlines that seriously and it ends up affecting those like you that are disciplined - I hope all of this doesn’t discourage you and that we’ll get to experience your art for many years to come.

I’d forgotten that you did some work on the Tangent Comics, I’ll have to revisit that and let my customers know!

Last Thursday at my store, Penn (of Penn and Teller) made a rare visit to my store and he was asking me for a sampling from some each of the main companies. So on the DC side I pointed him towards your two issues of Batman and the Batman Snow trade you did with the very talented, much missed Seth Fisher. Also Bill Willingham bought one of your new sketchbooks.
