Kevin's Watch

Some of us only know her as Jwaneeta, but she's been a comic artist for several years now, so it's about time to have something a little more comprehensive than "I think she drew some Star Wars comics once". Here's what I know about her career:

And, last but not least, she did the cover to the second Kevin's Watch Anthology:



Nice work!

very nice work.

Seeing her work from the Star Wars run takes me back. Here's the info from the Star Wars.com tribute

WOW!

Excellent.

She's incredible for sure!

yiminy! I never knew she was that good.

Totally off topic but....Ms Victory

(That is until she changed to Rad)

Is Fem Force still being published?

I believe that Fem Force is still current.



excellent recap dAN.

It is unbelievably cool to know that our own jwaneeta is none other than Cindy Martin who drew the Star Wars comics! Indeed, she was my favorite artist from that comic book's run. I was bummed out when the series ended so abruptly. I loved her economical and fluid style. At one point, I even tried my hand at drawing my own comic book story modelled after her style. But I quickly got over that delusion when I realized my drawings were pure Bantha manure.

Careful, that's a $40 book if it's in near mint condition!

I didn't know it was worth that much! I wish I had the issues with me, I miss reading them. But my sister has them all, and she's in Florida. Boo hoo.

yeah, it's forty bucks cuz it's the final issue. and i'll be carefull.

Way to go Jwaneeta.

Oh, wow, thanks for all the compliments -- dAN sent me a link. Sorry I haven't been around much. I've been working at a savage pace since January because I was very paranoid about my mortgage.

I've been rereading Runes, though, and getting all worked up for the next book. I'll be back!

You better! We miss you chica! In case you didn't catch it, Julie posted your FBH comic online from the FBH website. You ARE the ruliest. BY FAR!

"the ruliest"



thanks for my morning laugh.
that's a great one...

(I'm going to steal it, OK? ... royalties in the mail...)

As opposed to the unruliest, I am sure.

I saw it, I saw it! I didn't send you an email? Ugh, I kinda suck -- sorry, I meant to.

It looks great. I'm thrilled to be part of the FBH experience! I've been working on four projects at a time since January, but I still have The Sekrit Project in my stack. Someday I'm going to work on it some more.

I miss you all too. All the work has paid off but I need to have a little fun in my life again.
