Ale, I just want to say first off, thanks for visiting KC a few weeks ago. It was nice to meet you.
Glad to hear your "top secret" assignment is Titans. That cover looks great. It's good to see the "newbies" sticking around on the Team. Kinda surprised to see Kara there, but it's welcomed.
Thanks for taking the time to chat with me and sign some comics. You're alright in my book. ;-D
so yeah.. sad you are leaving supergirl as I have messaged you!! hope you liked those song lyrics!! anyway I added a section on KaraLives.com for the new TEEN TITANS and would love to have you still be apart of the site even though..well you know how I feel.. Supergirl #17 rocked and I can't wait for Kara and the headband.. you need to send something over so we can tease for the last two issues of your run!!
Ale--Very Dope man! Picked up the New SuperGirl stuff too man--awesome awesome stuff--I was totally blown away--some of the coolest stuff I've seen yet--can't wait to peep out the Titans joint when it drops!
HI EVERYONE, THIS POST IS COMING FROM SKOTTIE YOUNG'S BLOG -
I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE READ:
"When I became a man I put away childish things, including the desire to be very grown up."
C.S. Lewis said this when people asked him why he wrote books for children. This reminds me to keep in mind the origin of what I love most...drawing. Before I knew what Marvel or D.C. was, before I knew what a comic book, or super hero was, I drew pictures. I love drawing. I can't recall what I liked drawing the most, probably because I drew so much there is no way to remember. I drew all the time, with any tool that created a line on paper.
Amongst the contracts, negotiations, signings, failed projects, good and bad reviews, deadlines, tussles with editors and studio execs., 35 airports a year, the same convention halls over and over, and anything else that goes along with the professional artist label...it is easy for me to forget what I wanted to do this for.
I love drawing.
That's the end of it really. I love it. I love the kid that lives here no matter how many books I sell, or how much money I put in the bank. I need to remind myself to put away the childish "desire to be very grown up." and just put pencil to paper. I never used to need anyone to like what I drew. I didn't know to want it. I just wanted to turn a blank piece of paper into something, anything, just as long as it looked fun. An animal, a world that I have never seen, a twist on the world I have. Amongst all the things that have over shadowed that ideal, I have lost the child.
After hearing this quote, I wrote it down and pinned it on the bulletin board in front of my table. That's why these warm up drawings started happening. I always told myself I didn't have time to draw anything for fun, I had to work. But, like those parents who have kids and need to make time for them no matter what...I am reminding myself to do the same.

Thanks, and, plz, sorry for the "spam" and for my awfull english!!!
Just wanted to say that I picked Teen Titans 50 this weekend and I loved it. Niiiice cover and great story, can't wait to issue 51 to see you soing the interior art.
For the longest time, Freddie Williams II was the only artist who could draw Tim Drake/Robin to my liking. Now there's TWO artists! Thanks for doing my favorite character justice!
Hi Ale, John here, met you couple of time in Sand-Con. Bought ton of arts from you. Let me know if the TT#50 cover and TT#51 DSP are still availlable. Love to add those in my collection. I was hoping you would stay on TT for atleast a year. Your art is much fresher than what TT have right now. Their lost. Your fan, John at uss_titans@yahoo.com
Hey dude. I really want your advice how to draw anything. I'm damn confident in my style but while I see yours seems like I'm just a 5 year old kid with a pen and paper. I really want to be enlightened by you. Email me at daryl_vincent@yahoo.com
Sweet!
