HELLO HELLO HELLO!!! My name is Anthony Rodriguez, Also known as Apostle13. I'm a 27 yr. old Puerto Rican male (Representin') I'm married (Alanaque)have 3 kids (Justin 12, Kaitlynn 12, Taimie 5). My goal is to eventually, someday pay my bills through gainful employment in the comic book industry as a Writer and/or Artist. Failing that, i would like to open and operate a comic book store. While it probably won't be exclusive to Christian comics, Christian comics will be given significant shelf space.
I am a Christian by the way. Bought and paid for by the blood of my risen savior, Jesus Christ. While i consider the Holy Bible my denomination, i attend an Independent, Fundamental Baptist Church.
I Like to read, write, draw, read comics, and play video games. I would consider Jack Chick, Stan Lee, Sam Kieth, and Mike Mignola the biggest influences on me. Among others. I try to learn something from everyone.
I was born in Brooklyn, New York. but now reside in Paris Texas.
There will be more about me as things develop.
March 18, 07
Well, As you've no doubt noticed i finally got some galleries going. I've posted a few pages from my sketchbooks, as well as a cover gallery displaying the first 9 covers of my book, THE HOLY SPIRIT, As well as the first 5 issues.
I do have to let you know there is a mistake in the books. In #1 the Professors name is Freeman, in later issue's he's referred to as Donaldson. This is because he is actually an amalgamation of two different characters i made up during the initial stages of the book. I guess i got a little confused.:)

thanx for the comment. the first installment of Warrior: Gift of Sight will hopefully be finished late this year... though I'm still looking for an experienced inker to bring on board.

I hope you find the inker your looking for. Inking is a vastly under-rated and under-appreciated field. I can't wait to see the finished book.

Sorry for such a late reply, but I got some sketches and inks up from Revelation and The Overcomers, yea been on since August but just now having time to upload some stuff :D

Awesome Comic! Awesome. I'll keep a look out in the pages of WIZARD.:)

I loved the comic cover gallery for the Holy Spirit series. While the art is only shown as raw thumbnails, the issues shown are powerful and well-assembled. I've got a feeling I'd enjoy that series if cleverly written as a storyline rather than as a tract.

And then I discovered the comics in your gallery- and I LIKE EM!!!

Your other artwork was cool too. Keep up the good work.

Thanks MZjoe. I'm glad you liked'em. Yeah the artwork started out pretty simple because i wanted to try to get them out pretty regularly, and also i'm not real familiar with all the nuances of xerox comics yet. I wasn't real sure how it would come out so i decided to keep it simple. But after seeing how others did it i'm starting to pick up a few things. :)

LOL yeah tell me about it. I forgot how ruf the school life can be.:) You did tell me about your presidency. Congrats again. I've been busy lately. Between my home life my school life and my budding career (thanks to the internet) I'm barely sleeping. Its kinda cool.:) I'm moving right now which is a real bummer.:)

RE: Bulletins as Blogs?

The thing is ... we don't receive any RSS from Bulletins or notices if someone does post a bulletin. Blog still works better.

I don't even know what rss means.:) Blogs are always the way to go, of course. But what am i to do if i feel like rambling for no good reason on Comicspace? I wrote that bulletin because it was late and i was bored and i got 2 responses.:) Thats pretty cool.:):)

Thanks! Actually I did that one when I got stuck while drawing JK panels. ^^ Well and since I get so many comparisons betweens our characters I felt obligated to draw the Crow at least once, lol!

Really? I never noticed any simularities Between Jackket and The Crow. Hmph. Maybe you should do a Jackket/Crow cross-over. That would be cool.

Remove[ Posted by Velvetnightmarestudios on Sep 5th, 2007 9:52 PM ]...

Do you mean that in a sarcastic way? ;-P
Honestly, I've had like maybe %70 of people who looked at the comic art say "He's looks like the Crow!" It was a little weird cause I had based him on Gambit without the Crow in mind.
Anyway, since I was in Creative Writing last semester we had to write a lot of fiction and I did write a Crow/Jackket Crossover just to fill up my required writings. So who knows I may type it up just for you. :D
God Bless,
Souba

Remove[ Posted by Apostle13 on Sep 12th, 2007 10:23 AM ]...

:) No i wasn't being sarcastic, i really didn't see it. I wouldn't mind seeing that cross-over though. I'm taking a writing class right now. I plan to kill two birds with one stone and get credit for my stories to. Maybe i'll put'em online somewhere.:)

Hi Apostle,
I'm glad that people are still looking forward to the comic though I've been slow to publishing it but this is a start. ^^
Are you talking about the Jackket/Gambit fiction crossover, or the drawing?

Perhaps the comment was made in the befriendification. Any who, thanks so much for the compliments and Slayer DOES look great.
