Thoughts

November 16

Seriously.

So much to do and the holidays are coming up already. Agh!!


-----------------------------------------
What We've Otherwise Generally Been Up To
Work. Work. Work.

I'm adapting a book into a graphic novel. Trying not to let the length of it flip me out. Hope to start posting pages by wintertime.

Our new comic strip, Best Mann For the Job is being hosted on Titletrakk. They run the strip a week ahead of here in case you can't wait to see the next installment.

I like to keep busy.

-----------------------------------------
General Stuff About Me
I'm an artist and writer. Been working in comics 20 years so far. Started in retail, then got into production and publishing. Worked on staff at Milestone Media, Broadway Comics, DC Comics and freelanced for Defiant, mostly in the Production Departments, hence the self-appointed tag of "production geek". Helping make comics is my next favorite comics job after making them myself, and it's something I really love to do. Back 2000 I finally got the guts to start drawing comics again, after a LONG hiatus of doing production. I also discovered God has a loving sense of humor ... He had to move me here first, 800 miles away from all the comics staff jobs before I would commit to my own stuff for real! But it's all good.

Anyway, like most fans, I've been reading comic strips and comic books since I was little. But the first comic I ever really started to collect was Baron & Rude's Nexus. And the first mainstream comic I ever started to collect was New Mutants, with issue #19 drawn by Bill Sienkiewicz. When I saw the incredible artwork in these two books, they gave me hope. It felt like there could be space for me, because their artwork was "not mainstream" looking. I find their work just gorgeous.

What I Like To Read
I like to read slice-of-life indie graphic novels and non-fiction (like Blankets, Persepolis, Aya), comic strips, humorous editorial cartoons (The New Yorker), kids' comics (Harveys and Archies), some manga (Nodame Cantabile!) and some superhero comics (but mostly '70s and '80s reprints).

Current comics I'm Reading When I Can Get Them
Nexus, The Moth, BPRD, Futurama, Fell, Nodame Cantabile.

(I enjoy the Bryant and May books written by Christopher Fowler and books by Haruki Murakami. But I digress.)

Favorite comics creators, writer/artists, artists, and writers
Steve Rude, Will Eisner, Kyle Baker, Marjane Satrapi, Craig Thompson, Terry Moore, Tarpe Mills, Everett Raymond Kinstler, Bernard Krigstein, Rumiko Takahashi, Andy Runton, Jamie Cosley, Patrick McDonnell, Tomoko Ninomiya, M.D. Bright, Dave Gibbons, Darwyn Cooke, Leonard Starr, Ryoichi Ikegami, Stan Drake, Al Williamson, Neil Adams, Tim Sale, Tony DeZuniga, Winsor McCay, Walt Simonson, Guy Davis, Gene Colan, Bernie Wrightson, Terry and Rachel Dodson, Nestor Redondo, Bill Sienkiewicz, Michael W. Kaluta, Rudy Nebres, Lee Weeks, Eduardo Barreto, Barry Winsor Smith, Stuart Immonen, Adam Hughes, Jon J. Muth, Sam Kieth, Jim Holdaway, Cynthia Martin, Marie Severin, Kathleen Webb, Dwayne McDuffie, Dan Slott, Troy Hickman ... I'll add to the list as I remember ...

I LOVE cartoons: Futurama, Merrie Melodies, Looney Tunes, Kim Possible, Recess, Schoolhouse Rock ... Just about anything by Hayao Miyazaki, Aardman and Pixar.

Let's not even start on movies!

-----------------------------------------
The Comics I Draw
My comics are a mixed bag of types of stories, depending on who wrote them. In the Gallery above, the Fallen Worlds are the oldest comics up. Aside from the graphic novel, the newest comic strip I've been working on is our Best Mann For the Job.

Here are links to other comics on our website:

Chris Well wrote:
Penultimate Adventures 1
Penultimate Adventures 2.
These two are both 8 mini-page, goofy superhero stories. Chris also wrote
Fallen World:Small Fortune, Fallen World: Small Load and Que Es Amor above in the gallery. Chris and I co-plotted and he wrote Fallen World: Small Comfort.

Tom Hall wrote:
Billy!
This story is 6 comic strips long, and is bilingual; ie., Billy speaks mostly only Spanish and it's his first day of first grade ... we're working on the next short set.

I wrote:
More Than I Could Count
The Girl Who Could Not Be Touched
and The Den and Dear Us above in the Gallery.
