Great Offer from The Hero Maker Just in Time for Christmas

I have decided to do what I see a lot of my fellow artist on here do, I am opening myself up for commissions! But I am going to approach it from a different angle! I will pencil , ink or both any character your so desire on a 11x17 Blueline Pro comic page as a pin-up or 1 page sequential action scene. I will sign the art in gold or silver ink again your choice and here is the best part! You decide the price you pay for your original piece of art from me The Hero Maker! No strings attached. All I ask is that your be serious and be reasonable and realistic on the money! I mean if you ask me to do a sequintal page penciled and inked with alot of action,and you say your willing to pay $5.00 I will be insulted ! not just for me but for you having the balls to ask that! But if that is what you think it is worth then I will do it as I am a man of my word! So get to it and think of something you would like for yourself,a friend or family member. Remember Christmas is right around the corner! you can send your request to me here at cmerwin6@gmail.com just put commission in the subject line. And remember I will need a actual mailing address to send the work to so dont forget to inclose that plus a way to contact you. And one other note . Once the work is finished I will send you an email telling you that it is completed with a scan of the image. then once I receive the payment you have agreed to pay for the piece I will then mail it out to you! I have been burnt to many times to send the art before I get paid! I will only accept Money Orders. No Personal checks! Or credit cards. So if you think this is something you would like to do please contact me. Remember this is going to get busy fast so get your order in to me as quick as possible!!No one else will do this I can guarantee you that! Have a great Day!

STEVE NILES & KELLY JONES TEAM FOR NEW BATMAN SERIES
by Jonah Weiland, Executive Producer
Posted: October 5, 2007 — More From This Author

"30 Days of Night" author Steve Niles revealed on his forum Thursday evening that he'll be joined by famed illustrator Kelly Jones on a brand new, 12-issue Batman series for DC Comics. CBR News has learned the name of the project is "Batman: Gotham After Midnight" and will likely be released sometime in 2008.

The project is noteworthy for a number of reasons. This series marks the return to Batman by Kelly Jones for the first time since the late 1990s. Perhaps most celebrated for illustrating the preeminent Elseworlds story "Batman & Dracula: Red Rain" and its two sequels, Jones also enjoyed a long and memorable run with the "Batman" title from 1995 - 1998, approaching art on the series with a dark and moody style, often depicting Batman with incredibly long ears and an enormous, billowing cape, evoking an almost demonic look for the Dark Knight.

"Gotham After Midnight" will be the second go 'round with Batman for Steve Niles, whose "30 Days of Night" has been adapted for the screen and will be released in just a few weeks. Niles previously wrote the Batman character in the three-issue series "Batman: Gotham County Line" with art by Scott Hampton. The new 12-issue project reunites Niles and Jones, who've collaborated numerous times previously on the Niles creation Cal MacDonald, the hard-living, supernatural monster hunter.

Reaching for a DREAM

I really can not believe I am about to do, what I am going to do but I really don't know what else to do I have exhausted all conventional methods so here goes nothing. I am an everyday average 43 year old American citizen with a dream! I want to make a living as an artist as do half the artist I know, that is as plain as I can put it ! And this is probally one of the hardest professions in the world to break into. I don't want to be rich just able to support my family! I don't really care if I ever become a well known famous artist,I just want to be able to do what I love and that is create art ! comics ,paintings ,drawings etc...If anyone at all is willing to give a hard working loyal individual a chance to prove himself please respond to this bulletin. There has to be someone that knows someone that still believes in not giving a hand out but a hand up! A chance to prove that I am worth taking a chance on! This may sound like begging but it's not ! I have been on my own since I was 18. I learned very early in life that anything worth having or doing is worth working for it ! I put myself through college at the age of 33 to try and make that dream come true only to find after numerous interviews that I was to old ( would have to pay more than your typical college grad due to my age) or did not have the experience( wanted someone younger to mold and shape and not pay as much) to be a Graphic artist How can you get experience if they wont take the chance on you? There has to be a individual or a company here on the internet with the millions that are on here who needs a good comic or book artist !a painter or a storyboard artist. Maybe you know someone that knows someone. All I am asking for is a chance to prove that I can be what I have always wanted to be! I have to much pride to ask for something for nothing so if anyone that is serious and is willing to respond to this bulletin and can actually employ me give me 12 months to prove that I can be an asset to your company! If at the end of that 12 months you decide that I am not the person for you then no harm no foul and no hard feelings on my end! I have tried conventional means to make my dream come true and and now I am trying to make an opportunity for myself I may not be Jim Lee or Frank Miller or Norman Rockwell but I am an artist and as with anything I can only improve! I know most likely this bulletin will not amount to anything but I am trying to do what all Americans want to do, and that is live the American Dream! What do I have to loose? Other than someone thinking I silly for posting a bulletin like this. So if by chance this bulletine does reach that last person in America that believes in good old fashioned hard work and the chance to prove ones self then by all means please respond to this bulletin! Thanks for reading
