I guess it's prudent to say that currently I'm a Journalist by trade (http://co.imagemag.com/) which has allowed me to develop and hone skills that have only benefited me with my real passion. After finishing my first screenplay I turned to comics for a fresh arena to write in. When I was a kid I lived nowhere near a comic retailer, so I survived on scrounged back-issues and collections. This is how I discovered Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Jeph Loeb and others who shaped my view on what was possible inside the pages of a book. Now in my adulthood I began throwing around a outline in my mind. Several themes and single captions floated around long enough that they stuck in my psyche, but I had no anchor. Nothing to pull them together. After one night of self-doubt, I found my anchor. Right now, I am drawing to a close my first 6-issue run (written) of an already outlined 18. I am looking for an artist to add their talent to the book. In turn, I am also available to work with an artist on their projects if they need a writer. I want to share my view in a medium that has always transfixed me with the depth it can muster between each little white margin. Artists: contact me if you are interested in either taking a look at my book or me yours.
