=THE HUNTED=

2010-10-08T17:57:00.000-07:00

OK so Here we go.... My comic is done thank goodness, now time to share it with the world :) . First off I wanna thank Christian, and Marco the kind folks at the Passenger Press for giving me the opportunity to create this book. Also all my peeps for the feedback thanks a bunch. The book will be on sale soon, 300 will be made and I will have 40 copies on hand to sell and the rest will be available from the folks at Passenger Press. Im doing a give away so remember to keep checking back to see when that develops!!!! Here is a quote ive been looking at everyday since starting this project i hope it inspires you :)

"The universe has a purpose..the fulfillment of human creativity and happiness".

=comic Preview=

2010-10-03T07:39:00.000-07:00

I don't particularly do comics, so this project took me more time than I had expected. But I did learn a great deal from using 90% of my imagination to create it. Comics are hard and require every fiber of your being to complete. I'm about done with this short story which will hopefully evolve to something down the road; Here is a sneak peek. I believe the book is going to print this week and be on sale soon after. I will be giving away two copies, so stay tuned for details on how to win. In other news, I will not be attending NYCC. . A few things came up. I might hit up Wizard World Austin next month. thats it keep it fresh peeps!!!
