Blog for July
After a long break again and real life constantly throwing you a curve you gotta wonder what the “F!”
But for me the artist inside is loving the fact that I have been able to work on many old projects and finish finally the last couple panels of the Richard Parker saga. I swear to God that has been conspiring against (at first glance) me but as I have had the time to look back and re examine what has come before and maybe this was all the way things were supposed to happen.
With the free time of being furloughed but money still coming in art has jumped to the forefront to be completed. In this case a comic book graphic novel that had placed Richard Parker on hold is nearing completion and being prepped to be “handed off” to my editor leaving me free for time to re focus on Richard Parker. This makes me very excited! In a way we’re Richard Parker stated will be finished in the same household. That to me is great and a great accomplishment. The story and art of “Last Monster on EARTH!” was drawn and completed in the same household before I had move again so having Parker finished will be fantastic! Of course I will reference back to the earlier work to bring myself mentally up speed with where my head is at with the story. Once completed with that then it is back to comic book layouts and transfers for the the bookend series for Corpse Cop. Another project that started out as scratchboard and will finish with scratchboard.
AS A SIDE NOTE: the state of the comic book industry has taken some serious hits over the last couple months with the shut down over everything. Unfortunately at times like like in times of war, art and entertainment has always taken a backseat to the world at large. But as the major giants in that industry (that also spurred one of the greatest franchises in cinema history) find themselves scrambling for ways to infuse they books with personal politics and ostracizing other for having differing viewpoints, individuals with creativity have a prime objective in making their work known. This is the best time to strike with new ideas and styles of artwork that have not been seen by the mainstream public. Art should of all things be fun. And that to me is what completely lacking in books being produced currently.
I have a plan and where I want to go with that.
END OF SIDE NOTE.
So there you have it a new path is being forged and
Plotted. So watch here as new worlds unfold!
And I am outta here!
