Hey Kep! Haven't spoken to you in like forever, since the DW days really but just wanted to let ya know things are starting to pick up for my latest project, Manhunt!

I recently had a preview book distributed at Wizard World Chicago and it recieved alot of praise and Diamond wants to help distribute it.

I have a myspace page for it and you can check it out at www.myspace.com/manhuntcomic! I'd love to know what you think. It has alot of sketch work, early designs, some finished pages. It's still being updated constantly.

Hey Kep.
I'm putting my "comicspace" together. I hope this will be a great tool to stay in touch with the cool people I've worked these past years. I really hope we can do something together again in the future.
Good luck.

Hey Kep

Just thinking that it would have been nice to see Ted Noodleman dreaming of being a Shadowhawk type character. Shame it will never happen.

	[ Posted by Kep on Mar 29th, 2007 2:05 PM ]... No, probably not as such. He did do the superhero thing early on, and there was something in the works at one time for him to be a darker, mysterious character...ala the back of the trade paperback...but it never came to be. Perhaps someday. thanks for thinking of it though!
	[ Posted by darkwriter on Mar 29th, 2007 2:39 PM ]... No probs Kep. Hey if we can't keep the great characters alive in the comic books, we can at least keep them alive in our minds.

[ Posted by FBWPEACE on Mar 29th, 2007 9:58 AM ]...

Yeah I know you - LOL

	[ Posted by bat_blog on Mar 1st, 2007 11:38 PM ]... Sorry, didn't mean to come across as spam. My blog is free to read & there's alot of free wallpapers too. ha ha, believe me, I am making NO money at this. I mean, unless you consider 50 cents a day making money, ha ha. I just wanted to share this with ya & if you hate Batman then sorry.
	[ Posted by Kep on Mar 2nd, 2007 12:05 AM ]... Cool. I'm actually quite the fan and always look for places to research. I just thought the message was oddly spam-like. Good luck with the project.

Thanks for the add, Kep! It was good to work with you last year on that poster...hope it will happen again soon.

[ Posted by arhar on Feb 2nd, 2007 9:04 PM ]...

Thanks for adding me Kep! You've made some really cool logos. Archenemies comes to mind right off. It's basic at a glance, but I dig that subtle illusion to it where the opposites play off each other. Sublime, not distracting. Outstanding stuff!

Happy Birthday Kep!!

Wow, you're a big boy now! Why not try Huggies pull ups? I hear they're extraordinarily lightweight, and you can still scratch in public! :D

	[ Posted by Kep on Jan 15th, 2007 5:03 PM ]... Actually, I prefer Huggies Goodnights...they have BMX bikes on them this season!
	[ Posted by RJJohnston on Jan 15th, 2007 9:21 PM ]... BMX bikes?! Well that certainly surprises me. I would have pictured you more as the Disney Princesses type :P

[ Posted by FBWPEACE on Jan 6th, 2007 10:39 AM ]...

Hey Kep, it's always good to hear from you. Jose on here as well talk about a blast from the "AGES" past. Anyway, I'm gearing up for a FBW Peace year and hope you continue doing what you do.

[ Posted by Cannonball on Jan 5th, 2007 11:26 AM ]... Yea man, it's me, the old geezer! :) I had to take about a 1 1/2 year break to get my wrist straightened out from all the nerve problems. Seems to be fine now, but I haven't done any inking in a long time. I'll do some little projects here and there, but nothing like the pace I was running before. I need my beuty rest nowadays! I've been catching up with some old friends I haven't talked to in years, and this new Comicspace has been great for that! Sounds like your busy as usual! That's great man. I'll have to get by Dark Horse and see what your up to. Talk to you soon! Todd

Hi there! We’re starting up this year’s Small Press Idol…and wanted to invite you to the grand unveiling of this year’s Guidelines. I apologize for the all-in-one nature of this. At this time, individuals and teams have a little over a month to get things together and be ready to post their Round 1 entries. Round 1 will last till March 25th. It’s a solid window to get a project together and qualified for Round 2 past our judge panel. If you are interested in being a contestant, this is fair warning to get a project going!
If you are a news outlet or resource of any sort, we invite you to help spread the word about Small Press Idol, and get on the official Sponsors and Supporters list on the Idol Main Page. Traditionally, the page has gotten hundreds of thousands of hits a month for the 5 months the contest runs. All we ask in return for the link placement on our prominently placed list, is a link back in some way that is fairly prominent, and that you indeed cover the contest if you are a news site. You can contact us about that right from the guidelines page.
Just want to watch the show? That’s great! Now is time to sign up at the site so you can VOTE in the rounds to come, and post comments about your favorites! We’re expecting hundreds of contestants this year. It should be a lot of fun!

/Idol07/index.html

Hope this message reaches you in the spirit it was intended, you are welcome to ask questions, and otherwise make sure this is for real. This is the fourth year for the SPI. Last year’s contest pages are still online. So that’s what this is about, hope it interests you!

	[ Posted by Kep on Jan 5th, 2007 8:39 AM ]... Excellent Ian! I look forward to seeing what this year does!
	[ Posted by Dimestore on Jan 5th, 2007 9:01 AM ]... it's sure to be a wild ride! Did you see any of the books that came out of last year's contest?
	[ Posted by Kep on Jan 5th, 2007 9:08 AM ]... Sadly, i only saw them in passing and still intend to pick them up (i haven't lived withing 75 miles of a good comic shop until two months ago). But i paid attention to it online and really enjoyed the work I saw. Good stuff all around.
	[ Posted by Dimestore on Jan 5th, 2007 9:17 AM ]... ah, we haven't put the #0's through Diamond...they were and are available only though Dimestore. Check 'em out here: http://www.dimestoreproductions.com/comp onent/option,com_virtuemart/page,shop.br owse/category_id,44/Itemid,149/
	[ Posted by Kep on Jan 5th, 2007 9:23 AM ]... Then so I shall! Thanks for letting me know.
	[ Posted by Dimestore on Jan 5th, 2007 9:47 AM ]... not a problem! Thanks for the interest. From you, that's gratifying! Some really good books were made...I plan to promote them more as this year's contest plays on, and also take them to shows... Diamond - I don't know. I'm working to go more the Nifty Comics route...non traditional distribution. Especially as we're building our own Distro in the SPA...We'll see how comic book stores start to respond to Self Publisher! Magazine...
	[ Posted by Kep on Jan 5th, 2007 9:54 AM ]... I can certainly understand the apeal of doing it yourself. What's "Nifty Comics"?
	[ Posted by Dimestore on Jan 5th, 2007 9:59 AM ]... Nifty Comics is an imprint run by Mat Nastos. He's done really well selling in non traditional means outside of Diamond. The Cadre is their main title.
	[ Posted by Kep on Jan 5th, 2007 10:42 AM ]... And once more you are a fount. I'll definately give it a try. Thanks for the lead!
	[ Posted by Dimestore on Jan 5th, 2007 11:10 AM ]... no problem!

	[ Posted by Kep on Dec 17th, 2006 10:52 PM ]... Good to see you too! All sorts of stuff happening here. Several new lettering gigs, a new series in development with a major label (more soon I hope!) and a strip that's going to knock your socks off...assuming you wear socks. And you?
	[ Posted by MatthewAdams on Dec 29th, 2006 2:33 AM ]... Man thats great. Hell I always need a letterer for my stuff. I'll send you the biss next time I need one. And we should talk about working on somthing some time. It would be fun.
	[ Posted by Kep on Dec 29th, 2006 1:27 PM ]... Sounds like fun! i look forward to speaking with you about both possibilities!
