Where has the Arrow forum gone?

[Roughale]

I am sad, just discovered the facts about this after puzzling about the absence and probably waking Kyle up wiith a PM ...

I do have them on facebook, but see no comparison to how they were represented here, I wish them luck but moan the decision... At least they brought me quite a few great releases and best of all: They brought me to this place and I am here to stay...

Emailed Arrow today about my order placed on 30 November. Apparently there was a delay with orders due to demand but mine were dispatched on 13th December.

Even though I do often limp away in tears!

I suppose that's one way of 'honing your craft' and making sure you can receive honest, impartial feedback and develop as an artist. As you said, you would do things differently now and that's what comes with maturing.

This year, I read through a dissertation I wrote about a decade ago and shuddered at the construction, grammar and the way I framed the entire argument, so I imagine the same self-improvement is the same for musicians, authors, photographers, filmmakers and many other professions.

I've always liked your artworks, even if they aren't the most accurate representations of the film

I remember finding out that you were doing a new artwork for Deadly Spawn, instead of the atrocious placeholder they had, and was very excited, and that still remains to this day, I my opinion one of the best Arrow covers.

BTW, have you thought about, or do you do shirts? Because I would so get your Deep Red design on a shirt.

Ooh, there's quite a few Arrow covers.

On another note, the original for Deadly Spawn is still avalible!! Now if I can just convince my parents to invest £500 in a piece of fine art....

I wonder if Rick was influenced in any way by the 70's Italian fumetti covers because some of your art reminds me of those?

Hmmm....do you know why they left then? This hasn't even been properly explained to any of us on here yet. I'd certainly be interested to know....

My order, placed on 30th November, was 'apparently' sent on the 14th December.

But 'Please allow 3-5 working days for delivery after this.'!

Yeah, my order placed on the 8th of August was apparently sent on the 4th December, seems to have disappeared like a fart in the wind
