June Marie Sharpe R.I.P.---love and miss you momThose close to me know that my relationship as kid with my folks has been tough, with many family problems and such ( some relating to my choice of profession ) and later in my life I tried hard to distance myself from those problems.
Its strange but all the deep personal stuff goes out the window when you see your mother , at 73 pounds , fighting , in what I wish I didnt have to describe, as like a fish outta water, fighting for her each and every breath, long seconds between breaths wondering if she could see or hear me so she knew I was there by her side in that hospital room.........
If I can ask you guys anything, PLEASE, do better , if you can, for your health and stop smoking, or walk more, or anything. I know smoking isn't worth it. I know its tough to quit, I know ------I have many friends that fight with it, but please ....dig deep and don't let this happen to you---not like this.
( I'm a tank ass myself and need to do better as well)
Im not sure why Im posting about this , I do want to let you guys know, the folks that follow my stuff, that I may take a short break from DA stuff right now-----Im not sure....... Im selling all my pencilled Nova pages to pay for funeral stuff and if I can get in a better frame of mind, I'll be setting up commissions soon.
*Most of the pencil stuff in the DA gallery is for sale as well as other pages --like form the Nova stuff--and any serious inquiries can shoot me an note*
In a place with such a great pool of talented folks, I hope I can impart some wisdom, and yet I know we all live and we all pass, but its how we live that matters , so please make the best of it.
Y'know, as a aside, I play guitar as a hobby, and I would get various guitar mags and I would read from these various guys that survived drug addictions and all kinds of messed up stuff , and on occasion in interviews they would be asked if they had any regrets about it all---and the common refrain is " No regrets, I'd do it all again" .
I wish I had their fortune , because when I last walked in that hospital room, saw how hard it was for her and looked in her eyes,.................. I regret so much.
Please, take care and live well, If I don't respond to everyone , just know Im taking some time out but I appreciate anything you have to say

I'm so sorry about your Mom. I heard you mention it but I didn't realize it was such a recent occurrence. Please accept my heartfelt condolences and my sincere apologies for not offering them in person. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts over the holidays and I hope you can find some way to enjoy them given the circumstances.
Take care,
Matt Wieringo
I love your work. It's a shame you couldn't make it for the God of War comics!
Would you be available for a Kratos commission anyways?
Thank you and keep doing a great job!
thank you so much.

Since the email you've sent me last week, and I must to beg you a million "sorry" for not reply you faster, but the truth is that in the minute after I finished your issue I started the next one (with just 4 days and half to end it). -- for the ones who have interest to know, I was the luck guys who had the pleasure to coloring those awesome pages Kevin is now seeling - just for the Nova (and others titles) fans who wants to check on the credits] -- and I said to myself that I only would write for you if my words were that high and honest... and, with that rush, living for coffee and painkillers, days with zero sleeping i could not reply that email with the quality you indeed deserve.
Yesterday, something awful happened with me, at least it was what I thought: my main computer has crashed down (with all emails adresses, contacts and so it goes) - I mean, it was awful, but not that awful... not your awful - The reason I've came here, to expose our job and myself, more than I used to do, it's just that i guess it was fuckin unfair if only you could read this comment. Kev, as many of your followers already noticed, your pages are beautiful and you've made a really nice job on these Nova issues. The purcharsers will be very gratefull for the material they will aquire - it's just sad the reason that forces you to do this.
Thank you so much (as I already said for ya) for the pages you'd drew, for the gig you'd made... and I am very glad for being part of this. Take care my friend, stay still and count with me if you need.
And despite any trouble you had in the past with the family, a toast for you and mommy!
A friend.
(Email me when you read this, man... I (ugh) lost your email adress... just for we keep in contact).
On another note, you are an extremely talented artist, so I'm glad you didn't listen to the naysayers in your family. This stuff is beautiful. Thank you for sharing, and letting me watch! Looking forward to your continued presence here, and please, pass on my best wishes to the rest of your family.

lost track of you for a while. Glad to see I found you on here. In case you don't figure out the name, we used to hang out in BBurg, and you drew me as a Jedi, and designed the shirts for my kung fu class. I would love to catch up. Drop me a line.
