 After six years of work, Travis Charest has been dropped from Alejandro Jodorowski's long-awaited Dreamshifters graphic novel. Zoran Janjetov will be taking over the art chore with an eye toward publishing it later this year.
According to Comic Book Resources, Travis started the book intending to pencil and ink it, then hand it off to a colorist. Charest instead took it upon himself to paint the art... even though he's not a painter.
"Big mistake, a disaster. It took forever to get a page finished, I was redoing pages, changing the paints, a nightmare, by the time I'd left Paris and moved back to the USA I only had a dozen pages to show for nearly two years work," Charest explained. In six years, Charest admits he's only finished about thirty pages of artwork."
Despite his dismissal, Charest holds no grudge. "I can't blame them, if the book ends up being around 48-52 pages, then at the pace I was going, they'd be waiting another 4 years for this to be finished," he agreed. "If anything they should be applauded for being as patient as they were, especially Jodo, a wonderful, generous man who only wants to see his book finished and deserves more than I've been able to give him." |
