Michael, you'd be surprised how little the Nik work pays. I actually do it 'cause its aimed at a young audience, it's topical and funny. I wish I could find more kid entertainment work to do; it's way more rewarding in terms of the energy you get back from kids. Naruto is not a state of mind, he's a toon with hair that makes him Lisa's perfect joke date. The challenge with a job like this is to submerge your own sensibilities and create an "on-model" image that convinces the young reader that these two characters exist in a common world. So I wish it was for the money, but it's really because it's a pleasant diversion and George Whiteside at Nik is a great AD. Anyhow, no worries Dar Hey folks!

That cover definitely would been a lot better than the one with photos of all the teeny bopper stars. I just bought that yesterday since there’s an Avatar 2pg comic included.
