I'm just asking because I was a fan of a few of his pieces, and his work has since disappeared from DA. Did he give up and no longer wants to display his work? Or has he moved elsewhere?
I just wish I could see that comic where one of his characters (Raven or something she was called... Not sure) accidentally gets blown up again. There was some nudity involved which usually isn't my cup of tea with inflation, but I still liked it.
I actually have that pic in a document somewhere, the comic where some compressor malfunctions and the hose ricochets to her mouth. I love that one a lot.
And the one where she blows up at the beach, which is probably one of the most amazing inflation pics ever drawn.
Vlad hadnt done anything new for over a year. I just now found out he took everything down. A real shame, but what can you do?
Yeah, it's a shame...
Uh, could you maybe PM me those pics at some point? >.>
hmm... he's removed his pics from DA? that's a shame he had been popping up every now and again to say he was gonna be back.
Well this is unfortunate. I really liked that picture he drew of April O' Neil inflating by mutagen.
as far I Know, Vlad Drake no longer exists.
I mean everything that was on his site is gone, got taken down...it hasn't been updated in like 2 years.
He shit the bed, hes dead.
What a charming turn of phrase.
Meanwhile, has any of his work appeared elsewhere? I'd like to read the story you refer to. A Yahoo group? Did any of his stuff get archived here?
I suppose some people have second thoughts and/or may have been "found out" in real life and have to destroy the evidence.
Inflate, I dont think anyone mentioned Vlad wrote a story.

You mentioned a comic, as opposed to a drawing. I thought it was several panels, hence a story.
Oh that, well...
I have it. If youd like it, my contact info is here. But, I gotta tell you, its only like 300 x 200 pixels or something, so even if you zoom you wouldnt be able to make out words. Though the drawing is great, like most of his.
Last I heard from him, he said he had retired from drawing, or at least drawing inflation. I didn't knew he had cleaned his gallery.
It's sad to hear, certainly. If anyone has any of his artwork on-hand at all, let me know...
He pops up every now and again, albeit in the form various comments here and there.
For what it's worth, I have a rather sizable cache of his previous work; though I don't know how keen I am on giving it out without his consent.
As far as I know, he just quit...that's it.
