I sometimes get asked why I don't just do all the drawings in my books myself. If you had the opportunity to work with some of the best comic artists in the world wouldn't you take it? I was a huge fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when I was growing up. Besides their creators Eastman and Laird, Jim Lawson was the artist I loved to see draw the shelled butt-kickers the most. He put out a terrific sci-fi comic book mini series called Dino Island before creating a wonderful dino centric series called Paleo which he is still producing. I was thrilled to line Jim up for a couple pieces in my Thunder Lizards! book.
