I do know Gotlib - just read my Danish translated version not too long ago :)
This is my first try with a longer comic - I have used most of my life on painting and graphical art + a bit of installation and such - what you call fine art in English. But I got tired of the gradual commercialization and popularization of the art scene, so I have used the last 3-4 years on honest popular, commercial media like comics and illustration. I am not sure I have a style yet, but thanks for the kind words + constructive criticism :)
Somehow you had know him, hehe :)
