Something Like Characters – Jason Grant

| Art, Something Like Spring

Jason GrantWell look who it is… Jason Grant, the homewrecker in search of a home. I’ve been missing him lately. I really admire the way Jason loves so passionately, how his affections burn so intensely. Some of my characters struggle with who they love, and if it would be morally right to pursue that person. Jason simply dives right in. I don’t think he can help it. And then there is his rather sad back story, which personally made me very eager for him to get a happy ending. And did he? He certainly ended up in a nice place, but I’ve been wondering what happens to him past Spring. We only see glimpses of Jason in Lightning and Thunder, which is frustrating. Hopefully he’ll wander back into my life again soon. I’d like to hang out with him again.

For now, we have more awesome art from Andreas. I absolutely love how he captured Jason’s soulful nature. He’s strumming that old guitar of his, maybe thinking of William and wishing they could be together. Or perhaps Ben is off to one side, singing along to Jason’s music. Come to think of it, we do have Ben singing on the cover of Winter, and Tim on the back dreaming that he can play the piano. Maybe we should start a band! We could use another member though. With that in mind, it’s time to guess who will be revealed tomorrow. To make it a little trickier, this time I need a first and last name. The first person to guess correctly in the comments below wins a set of art cards, which includes my autograph. One guess per person please. Hurry up now! Time’s a wastin’!
