He did! And I wish him luck! There have been some super awesome groups that have come out of such a collab before, and it's a FANTASTIC way to promote yourself and your art! Alot of people make their names first by doing fanart and them moving onto other things. Some of them now even make their living off their web-comics too. It's also really good practice.
I encourage people to try! And good luck! Seriously, been trying to get a small group together for a few months just for general cross-eyeballing and discussion. It's tricky.
