Out with the old / In with the New Year

This is to all of my friends here. This past year has actually been a hard one for me. I have had some medical issues and also some problems with my step-son. And I have even thought about giving up my dream of being a comic artist. Heck I even thought about giving up on my art alltogether.I have fallen behind on work that had to be finished. And I have promised to deliver on work which I have not been able to do because of the time constraints of the work I do. I know that really is no excuse to make a promise and not deliver on it . But honestly at the time I thought I could do it. So to all of you that I have said I will do work for you, it is coming! I am just really far behind. As of right now I am not able to do any work for anyone other than what I already have on my plate. It is not that I dont want to ,it is just I have to be realistic with the time that I have to work on projects. Now on to more positive matters! I want to Thank a few special people for their friendship and the help and advice that I have recieved from them this year. Nathan Thomas Milliner,Madman,Comibookinker1971, Jason Craig, Brad Meltzer, Jimmy Palimotti , Problem Child, Nicola Ciceria, Mathew Tow, The Batman, and also the rest of you that I havent named here.So as we start to leave behind 2007 and look to 2008 I want to start the New Year off by getting all those projects that I am behind on out to you. And you know who you are. Now a few New year resolutions.
1) LOL Loose 25lbs
2) Find more time to spend with my wonderful wife Collette!
3) Improve on my artistic endeavours.
4) Make new friends
And that is all I have ( Was going to put quit smoking but I have tried to many times and never have!) So Here I come 2008 you better be ready for The Hero Maker!

I dont know if anyone follows my blog. I dont really post as often as I would like to due to time constraints. But I just wanted to post this blog to all of my friends here . And to a select few that have gone that extra hundred miles to help me in my endeavor to make it in the comics biz! Thank You! I have really been working hard on my pencils inks and most of all coloring. And I have recieved som much positive and negative feedback that it is helping me along with amazing speed. Even when the feedback I get is negative it pushes me to try and improve my work beyond what the negative is I learn from it! I have to say there are three people that I must express my deepest thanks to! They have helped me and pushed me further in the direction of comics than anyone else! Jason Craig the artist for Jason VS Freddy Vs Ash by Wildstorm & Dynamite Entertainment. Jimmy Palimoiti The writer /artist/Editor all round super guy. And last but not least Nathan Thomas Millner the creator of The Malevolent an indy book. These guys have really helped me alot. But then again so have all of you here and you know who you are. I just hope that I have been as good a friend to you all as you all have been to me!Anyway That is all I really had to say. I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2008 to come. See you in the funny papers! The image to the left was drawn by Whilce Portacio/Inked by Richard Friend/ Colored by me ( Clayton Murwin) Batman is liceinced and owned under DC comics/Warner Brothers
