Steve;

Thanks for the add! I got my copies of SS last week. They look great! I think I am going to order more shortly.

As for By the Blade - it's truckin along. Thomas White - the letterer for the Confessional - is just making a couple of changes and issue one is completed. Pencils for Issues 2 and 3 are done, and inks for 2 are underway!

[ Posted by Steven_Prouse on Mar 16th, 2007 11:16 AM ]... Awesome, Grant. That's good to hear. What are you doing with it? Is it soliciting anywhere?

[ Posted by CapeandCowl on Mar 16th, 2007 3:26 PM ]... Steve; Actually, I have not found a home for By the Blade yet. Originally, the idea was to do the basic submission stuff - you know 10 pages of finished art and the like. But I quickly found out that smaller publishers often want to see more than that before they will pick up a project. So at the moment, I am getting the first three issues produced myself (out of my own pocket) and hopefully can find a publisher who is interested. I've got a solid, experienced art team in place, and as I noted before, issue #1 is completed and the pencils for #2 and #3 are done....so I am just starting to gear up to a find a publisher now.....

	[ Posted by Steven_Prouse on Mar 12th, 2007 8:05 AM ]... Glad you enjoyed. We had a phenomenal time putting that book together. I haven't forgotten about your scripts. We just got a book picked up by Diamond so we're working insane overtime to catch up.
	[ Posted by strangeadventures on Mar 12th, 2007 6:07 PM ]... Oh, take your time, just the fact that you'll read it at some point is reassuring! Awesome news about Diamond Comics!

	[ Posted by ChrisMcJ on Mar 7th, 2007 2:23 PM ]... Will do. Good luck!

Been working on some inking and lettering for a comic called Sky Pirates. Here's a link to the writer's gallery: http://www.comicspace.com/evnsue96/comics.php?acti

I'm also working on a comic for Dimestore's comic competition. We're through the first round and workin' up our stuff for round 2. http://http://www.dimestoreproductions.com/Ninja-G

Other than that stuff, I've been busy being sick for the last week and a half, which sucks.

Keep in touch, dude.

Hey, dude. I got my copy of Sequential Suicide yesterday. Man, that's a really nice collection you guys put together. Looking foward to seeing what you lunatics put together for the next one!

Graffiti is a wonderful short story, I enjoyed it a lot! Thanks. Unfortunately we don't have any comics ready yet, but we do have a cool blog:

	[ Posted by Steven_Prouse on Feb 3rd, 2007 4:00 PM ]... Thanks for the props on Grafitti (I know it's spelled wrong). I put a lot of what I personally have to say into the design of the script and the pages as a whole. I was fortunate enough to work with some great artists that helped to bring that to life. I've looked at your work before. I really enjoy the line work you display.
	[ Posted by illustrators_lounge on Feb 3rd, 2007 5:13 PM ]... I always get confused with graffiti myself, I'm glad I got it right..? Anyway, I was sure you had something to do with how it was drawn, it's one of those comics that in places is written visually, which I love. Thanks for checking us out, and I hope you get more work done soon! Kyri

RE: K.I.P.: Breaking the Seal

Nice.
Way to sound hopelessly desperate and whiny there, Steve. Its good to be humble, but tell Mer to take your pair outta her purse so you can use 'em for a while! :D

[ Posted by AlexApprobation on Feb 1st, 2007 5:14 PM ]...

Really dug Breaking the Seal. I remember the printed version of Graffiti. Keep up the good work, guys.

You're working with Mia? I'M working with Mia! This is a strange surprise. She's told me a little about what she's doing right now ... are you working with her on the vertigo project she's coloring? Small factoid - I am possibly confussed on everything she's involved with so I'm sorry if I get it wrong. -__-; I'm toning her book, Paintings of You. [iris press] Mia is AWESOME. Congratulations on getting to work with her. Sorry to say though I don't know anyone else you just named. ... I've only been there a year though and I'm undergrad.

[ Posted by Steven_Prouse on Dec 22nd, 2006 3:35 PM ]... We're working on a book for a Vertigo pitch. It's not definite through Vertigo and I'm almost tempted to take to Ape or someplace like that instead just to keep the indie feel. I'm looking forward to Paintings of You. Mia's amazing. Here's hoping to run into all of the SCAD cats at Megacon.

[ Posted by blix on Dec 20th, 2006 6:20 PM ]...

It all makes sense now... you were the one that put on that anthology that had to be about a car! I had a friend named Joy that submitted because her introduction to sequential class made it an assignment. Two words: SMALL. WORLD. You've got me curious now, who all have you worked with from SCAD?

[ Posted by Steven_Prouse on Dec 21st, 2006 10:19 AM ]... I actually only wrote it for 12 Gauge. I've worked with Mike Bear and know Kristian Donaldson though our project never got off the ground. Right now, I'm working with Rob Grabe and Mia Paluzzi.
