That's some great stuff by Paul Smith being posted! I love his art!

If I recall correctly, didn't Paul have a job in animation before he got into comics, including working on the animated "The Lord of The Rings"?

I love Paul Smith's art.  I actually met him at a comic con in Virginia when he was drawing the X-Men.  He was working a Q&A session with a large group of people and I raised my hand to ask a question.  When he called on me, I totally forgot the frickin question I was going to ask and I ended up looking like an ass.  :)   Super nice guy, and I wish he was drawing a steady series. 

P.S.  The question I was going to ask him was "what do you do with original art once a comic has been completed?"  I now know the answer to that question but didn't at the time.  :)
