Artist Reply: Mark: thanks and I totally agree with your comment! By smoking, we do open the door to the "Grim Reaper". I enjoy doing the dark look of this type of graphic novel, but I don't like the direction my story is going. Thanks again and best regards, Will

Artist Reply: John: again, I missed notice of your comment on my art. I apologize. Thank you for your most kind comments. You are very supportive of my work and for this I am very grateful. Best regards, Will

Artist Reply: Anneke: thanks so much. I really do apologize for taking so long to reply to your comments. I must have missed them earlier. I'm glad that you find my style pleasing. I want it to be a noir style, since this is about smoking and lung cancer. I have begun to once again work on this graphic work, but find it goes very slowly. Images and dialogue take longer and more thought than working on my other colored pencil pieces. I enjoy doing both and I suppose that is why I continue to do both. Thanks again. Your comments mean a lot to me. Best regards for a creative 2015. Will
