"Every Accomplishment...."

"Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try." - Gail Devers

Good morning folks.
So today I'm glad to tell you about a few things I've got in the works.

Recently I was asked to work on an comic for an online/print magazine called Nerdy Male to provide some kind of comic content. What does that entail exactly? Well, I'm going to create a story but I'm not sure if it will be all created by me or offer some kind of fan related stories. This gives me one of two opportunities.

One, provide a story about characters that you may already be familiar with. It saves me really from the majority of the writing because we are already far too familiar with these characters. In my head that will offer me an opportunity to offer stories based on either TMNT, MOTU, Thundercats, or Dino Riders. These are properties that I grew up with and would love to offer my own interpretation of.

Option number two allows me to offer something completely new. With this comes two offers which I will lay out for you. Atlantis. This story will tell the tale of Atlantis  and it's fall. This story will be completely mythical hopefully be a lot of fun. Secondly is an unnamed story involving mecha. Originally planed for a youtube animated series this one will come to you via print first. It will include a strong female lead. Think Transformers meets Mobile Suit Gundam. If you don't know what Gundam is then you may be familiar with Pacific Rim, aka giant robots.

While these may be on the back burner for the next couple of weeks currently I am working on not only an opportunity but also a dream.




My opportunity, I am working on a submission for the SDCC souvenir book. I have tried to update a current picture however I feel that it will not have the same semblance to me as the original I've done years ago. So I will complete my original digitally and submit for the SDCC souvenir book. If accepted I will offer it as a high quality print.





My dream comes to me from DC Comics. DC is currently offering a talent developmental workshop. I am submitting a 5 page portfolio. If picked I will begin a workshop in November and upon completion of the workshop, if I can make it though, may be offered a job with DC Comics. So here I am throwing all caution to the wind and pouring myself into this project. This will take up my time for the next several days doing the best work that I can do.

While this is just a beginning, unfortunately I don't have a lot to show. Hopefully that will change real soon.

So until next time
