thanx I waited 10 years to meet peter, and I finally did at the 2009 Long Beach Comic con along with Beth Sotelo, Micha Gunnell, Joe Benitez, J.T Krul, J, Scott Campbell, Talent Caldwell, Jim Lee. I pretty much met the whole Aspen Team...well it really wasn't the whole team. Mike wasn't there. I moved from northern california to meet him and the aspen team. I was 2 days too late. I am a HUGE fan of his. I get a lot of crap because I redraw a lot of his stuff. But that's just my way of remembering him. I adored him and even till this day, I mourn him. And a lot of people don't realize that. There are fans, then there are people who follow in his footsteps, like I have been the last 12 years. I talk to Peter all the time. where do u live? i can see if i can get him to go to lunch sometime.

That is so cool! Meeting almost all of the aspen crew, its one of my dream to go to conventions and to meet Michael Turner and a lot of artist, talk to them and ask for their advices, sad to say Michael already pass away.

Regarding your artwork, just don't mind those people saying crap about your art, just keep on doing what you really love, and besides they don't really know that you're a huge fan of Aspen comics and its your way of honoring the late Michael Turner.

I lived in the Philippines, another reason why I can't go to conventions is that its very hard to get a US visa here in my country. I'm still hoping one day I will have the chance to meet the aspen crew.

Yeah, that's exactly what Peter Stiegerwald said. Luckily, I have been given permission to post it up as fan art. I would have to be the stupidest person to try to take credit for it; just about everyone knows him and his style.I go to all kinds of conventions. I even do cosplay every now and then. Im 24, but there's nothing wrong with being a kid for a day lol They are some really good people. If you ever come down this way, I can talk to Peter and see if u could meet them
