New Contract with Broken Door Publishing

I have just signed a contract with Broken Door Publishing out of Vineland New Jersey to pencil 22 page's for the New Comic "Crimson Masque" I received the first Story line on Friday and I am in the process of doing the layouts as we speak. Here is the concept drawing I sent him which landed me the job. So now I am working with two publishers Red-Zone comics with Mind Hunter Omega and now Crimson Masque with Broken Door Publishing. I am also working on a poster to put out there to let people know that Crimson Masque is coming! So everyone keep your eyes out for a new exciting comic to be hiting the comic world soon!

My Head is going to Explode

O.k, normally this space is for me to talk about my comic and things related to comics, But in this blog I just want to say that common sense in America is Dead! I am sick to death of our elected Congressmen and Senators, Democrats & Republicans, the Left the Right ,The Religious and the Secularist, Big Government & Big Business. LEAVE US ALONE! If I remember correctly our fonding fathers set up our constitution with these three words on the first line and first page, WE THE
PEOPLE! We need to take back this country from a bunch of power hungry Politicians! Kick them all out and start over from scratch. If we dont we are going to wind up in another CIVIL WAR in this country and it is not going to be good! And as far as this war in Iraq , we are there we went in we did what we did We have to finish this war and bring our Brave men and women home but with victory not defeat. Regardless of what you think of this war . We have Brave men and women there fighting to protect this country and to complete a mission ! When did America become a whipped dog? We could win this war in a matter of months if the damn Politicians would keep their F$#%&ing noses out of it! I dont like the way my country is heading. And I worry for my children and my grandchildren . I thought that this was a free country but more and more I see our rights being taken away little by little because people have become to dependent on the freaking government federal ,state, and local to tell us what we can, cant ,will, or wont do! What ever happened to personal responsibility! If you dont want your kid to watch something on TV get up and turn the freaking channel don't wait for the freaking government to put a law in effect saying that it is illegal to watch this or it has to be rated R ,PG, XXX! Why can't we as people do it without the government stepping in . And Smoking last time I checked was not an illegal drug so why are we as people letting the local and state governments pass all these anti smoking laws? If you dont want people to smoke then make the damn things Illegal! And Last but not least Political Correctness ! Its disabling this country know one can say anything anymore without offending someone. I would rather know that a person next to me is a racist from what he says than find out by him one day shooting me because he is a racist that has never spoken of it then one day goes nuts! The bigest problem this country has right now is MONEY AND POWER! We have gone mad for it .Example The only two Qualifications for someone to be able to run for president is 1) Be an American Citizen 2) Be a Certain Age - thats it nothing else to qualify you . But for someone to run for President today they have to have a Fort Knoxx Bank roll and be Jesus himself! What have we become have we gone so far off the deep end that we cn not see we are destroying the Greatest country in the world! Anyway That is all I have to say ! I hope this country will survive the next 12 years! God Please Bless America! And the Rest of the world As well! Oh by the way if you vote for me as President I could'nt do any worse or better! and I am a Democrat go figure! I am an American First and that is what we all should be! Secure this country win this war and let's get back to being good neighbors to one another!

Well It looks Like I have entered a new field. I am in talks with some movie makers in CA. To be doing pre-visula art work and Storyboards for the movie they are in the process of getting fianceing for! So if all goes well I can add Storyboard credits to my resume! I also have finished MHO and it is in the hands of the colorist at the moment. I have two other possible deals that might come to pass Both being with Broken Door publishing. Nothing definite yet but should know soon. I dont think alot of people really know just how much work goes into Being a Comic Book or story board artist. But I love it and will continue to persue my dream even if it never takes me to that summit I strive for each and everyday! Well that is all I have for the moment so until next time ! May the Swartz be with you !

Who would have guessed!

Well today was a very interesting day as I received an email from someone named Shawn Surface on my comic space site. He said he had actually picked up an ashcan copy of Mantaman my first attempt at an indie comic for Emillio Diaz. I did the art for the book.But due to some copy write issue the book never got published. Anyway he asked me to check out his site. His work is very very good I suggest checking out his site here http://www.surfaceartstudios.com
So anyway I asked him in an email if he would like to do an art swap, so I am waiting to here back from him about that. Well as far as Mind Hunter Omega I am at a stand still at the moment trying to finish the last four pages . We have gotten a lot of snow from this storm that is hitting the East coast at the moment so I have been really busy with my regular job. But all is going well I am still not happy with one of the pages I am doing so I think I will be redrawing the entire page as I just don't like the composition. Don't you hate it when things go that way! So until the next time Live Create and Strive for the best!

The Creation Process

I have found that while doing this comic, "Mind Hunter Omega" for www.redzonecomics.com has been a great learning experience.While I have been an artist most of my life. I have learned a great deal doing this comic simply because I have done each and every aspect of it. I have penciled, inked, lettered, colored and edited the story in certain area's. Also developing the character designs and backgrounds.I have learned the meaning of time restrictions and deadlines! Issue #2 should be available at the end of March. Terrence Kriton of Raven Comics is coloring the pages as we speak. Issue #2 will be the first color issue of MHO . So if you want to check it out go to the website and order the book on-line now! I will get a little more into the comic creation process in future blogs so if you want just suscribe to my blog. This is new for me also ,as I have never really thought about blogging so be patient with m as it is a learning process! thats all for now , see ya soon!
