To those that are familiar with Crimson Masque, it seems that the comic will not be going to print in 2008 as planned. At least not with me as the artist for the book! Anthony J. Alecia the writer and creator of Crimson Masque And Owner of Broken Door Publishing seemingly has given up on the book. I have tried numerous times to contact Anthony since the Broken Door Publishing comic con fell through for November. He has not returned my calls or answered my emails. So I can only assume that or contractual agreement is null and void. Since no monies exchanged hands in the contract I retain all rights to the Crimson Masque character concept design and look.I am really saddened by this turn of events. I considered Anthony a good friend not only a business partner. I truly hope that what-ever problems Anthony is struggling with that he is able to overcome them! And maybe sometime in the future we will resume Crimson Masque together.Until that time Crimson Masque is off the table for the Hero Maker!
For those of you interested in the "Mind Hunter Omega" comic Tim & Toby Swift the Publisher of the book & owners of www.redzonecomics.com have decided to release it as a Graphic Novel in Full Color! So Issue#1 and #2 will be combined to make it a 45 page Graphic Novel with some added art from some other talented artist in a Pin-Up section in the back of the book. I am not sure when the actual release date is going to be ,all I know is that it will be sometime in 2008. I will keep you informed as to whats happening with the book as I find out.

To all of you that know me and are my friends you know I love comics and you know I love to draw. But I have been doing a lot of thinking lately. I am 43 years old! Not a young whipper snapper anymore. Since I can remember I have wanted to make a living at being a artist in some form or fashion. I even put myself through college at the age of 33 to help me achieve that goal. I graduated with an Associates as a graphic designer /artist But to no avail I was told after I graduated that I was either to old for a job and that they wanted someone younger for the position. Or i did not have the experience they were looking for. So I have continued over the years to try and build myself into a self-made freelance comic artist. I get the odd jobs here and there but not enough to make a living on. My dream has always been to be a comic artist and I have submitted time after time and have been turned down so many times I have lost count. I always wanted to work for DC as I am the biggest Batman fan in the world! I cant begin to say how many form letters I have recieved saying thank you for your interest but ... I would work for any comic company that whould allow me to obtain my dream! So what do I do my friends should I give up on this seemingly unattainable dream to work as a comic artist Doing something I would love to do.. I work as a maintenance turnover tech for the Housing Authority . It's a job and it pays my bills and I am thankful I do have a job! But I am so unhappy in my work and I dread each day getting up and going in. But In saying that the last year or so has been even worse as I have been trying so hard to make my dream come true to be a comic artist . I am miserable what should I do just forget my dreams and be happy with what I have or keep going for it. Im so confused right now Please friends some wise advise ! I feel that this will eventually drive me insane ! I cant just quit my job I have a wife and son who depend on me. Help!
