My old Travis thread is closed, so for fans of the best/slowest comic book artist ever I decided to make a new thread since there's been a major development in his recent career.
Anyone that's followed him will know that his artwork is amazingly detailed but the man himself is slow as shit- his X-Men/Wildcats one-shot book reportedly took a year to draw.
Anyway, back in the beginning of the current decade (April 2000, to be exact), he announced that he was now working for a French outfit and drawing/painting a graphic novel for them based on a character called The Metabaron called The Dreamshifters. On the FAQ located on the Official Travis Charet Gallery, the folllowing release date was revealed:
Now, anyone with a brain knew that he was going to be late, but it's now May 2007 and STILL no word on his progress. Until now, that is:Quote:
Q: When can we expect to see the Metabaron book?
A: The Metabaron book will be out by November 2001, knock on wood.
30 pages in 6 years? wtf.Quote:
Living in Paris, Charest has been all that time painting a project for that publisher, a Metabarons graphic novel, starting in April 2000. As of 2007 Travis has finally left the project after merely 30 pages done in 6 years, to be completed by Serbian artist Zoran Janjetov who previously worked in the same Alexandro Jodorowsky "Incal" universe on "John Defaul" and "Technopriests".
Travis Charest has left Paris and returned to America since.
What a slow, lazy bastard.
