Love the cushion in the colors of a pokeball. Funny. That`s one Pokemon a lot of people would like to catch.

I really can't say anything that hasn't been said before. But, I will say that you should be proud of this one. You and Nei really created something epic.

This is so awesome Mike, and this girl is seriously hot! If there is one cosplay girl to remember from SDCC, she's it.

You know what Mike Debalfo - if that's even you're real name! Just because I can't go to PhxCon doesn't mean you can't just rub it in homey!

Wish I could have. I just got my Green Card. So we weren't sure when it would come or if I would have to move back to Canada. We didn't want to commit to any trips or convensions. Your work looks stellar man. Your going to rock the Phoneix Con. Love the pictures of you and your little girl very cute. The thing I am working on right now is a Longboard skateboard company called BlackSpider. Its my own brand and I am 3 weeks out from launching my first line of boards. The second line will have WW2 style bomber art but done in comic book (modern style) I want to use comic artist and pinup artists from deviant on these boards. They are going to be very unique. There is nothing out there like them. I am actually getting a patent on them. I am thinking of doing the artist runs as Limited editions boards. 200-300. I have to figure out the numbers still. Anyways hope all is well. Again your stuff rocks.

It's cool, I completely understand the situation. Good to know you'll be staying close by for a while. Any new Zene work? Ralph was all praise when speaking about your Red covers.
Also, I would give me left testicle to do a bomber-girl skate board image. Haha ...seriously though, my left testicle. Let me know if your interested!

Hey Mike thanks. That would be great. I want the bomber art to be more of a modern comic book look. I love your recent piece for Jesse James. Once I get started with boards I'll get you on one. I am launching my first line in about 3 weeks. The bombers will be longboards with top of the line components. My goal with the bombers is to have 10 with different comic book artist contributing. Each artist will get some boards to sell as well. Their boards will be at cost. This way the artists can sell them at the cons. We'll sell them to the shops and online. Maybe even some comic book stores. My dream artist line up would be you, Scott, Eric, Joel Gomez, Benitez, Nicole and a couple others that are more pin up plus me. Each artist would have virtual freedom on the character.
