User Info

I live in the north-central Sacramento Valley.
I am also found at the 9thwonders.com boards under the same name.
I now have a You Tube account
I have had questions answered in Behind the Eclipse

TV shows I watch

• Faves besides HEROES

• Survivor

• Other Good shows

• Lost

• I cant help but watch...

• American Gladiators

• I'm looking forward to...

• Knight Rider

I have recently discovered Hulu.com. A program I've found on there that I cant help but watch is a kind of cheesy but good piece of 1968 Science Fiction, Land of the Giants.

Other fave things

• Favorite Musical artist: Herwig Holzmann
• Favorite baseball team (and source of fave colors): The San Francisco Giants, although their poor performance as of late has been disheartening.

Artist grades

With regards to the artists themselves, I give them the following grades and my critiques and comments on them. Not surprisingly, my favoritism of the GNs themselves on the basis of art alone tends to follow these grades

Artist	Grade	Critique and Comments
Jason Badower	A+	+ Spot on likenesses + Deep, Moody, coloring + Crisp and solid + Otherworldly/cinematic quality to art + High impact action
Robert Atkins	A	+ Smooth and clean with rich texture + Flowing lines convey energy and action well + Good likenesses + Great work in Bounty Hunter + Soft, yet solid
