To my brothers fans,
First off I'd like to take a moment to say thank you for all the support you've showed for my brother both during his life and after his passing last year. My mother and I have been working through items that my brother left for us to accomplish. One of these items was around working with Jason Canty of Angry Viking Press to create bed sheets with Jim's Skunkworks girls on them. My brother finished the artwork for the girls but never got the time to coordinate with Jason for the final creation of the bed sheets.
My mother and I have been working very closely with Jason since about September of last year to get him everything he needed to work with his artists and the printing company to get these sheets created and out to Jim's fans. There have been multiple revisions of the final product as those of you who knew my brother knew that he was very particular about his work and would not release to his fans unless it was perfect. My mother and I of course don't have the eye for artwork like Jim did so we are relying heavily on Jason to assist us with that side of the project.
Please know that Jason is working very closely with my mother and myself and we have final say-so on what is released to you. We want to make sure it's something Jim would be proud of so I apologize if it's taking longer than expected.
Please also know that we are working with Jason on a second project with all the artwork Jim left behind, a great deal of which has never been seen by anyone outside of our family and close friends. There will be some sort of collection of Jim's artwork put together and available to his fans later this year.
I'm more than happy to answer any questions anyone may have through this post.

If you mean put into books. THat is a possiblity, His family has so much art that they are considering on relasing not ony the Skunkworks Collection,
but maybe other art books/collections after that.
But they still arn't sure yet because well with him being gone and all its emotional to keep going through his art and deciding what should be in what book
on what page because that just brings back memories.
How is that going to work?
Okay. That works for me. Will there be any choosing over what art is available, or are they just going to do like a grab bag?
thank you for the update, and thank you for honoring his memory by helping with this project.
yes, but a lot of people don't have friends like you who they know they could depend on; I am glad you are such a good person
